I want to upload an iOS app to Testflight for internal testing within my team. When I archive and try to upload to App Store (which as I understand is the process for this), I get an error saying that my role is Member, but at least Admin is required. Here's a screenshot;
Now, I checked account roles in various Apple pages and found the following;
I am an Admin in the App Store Connect team of the company.
I am only a member in the company's team as per the info on my Apple Developer account membership details.
I am new to iOS development. I am guessing my developer account needs to be admin in the company team in order to submit app to Testflight. Is that correct or is there another way?
it may not be enough just to be assigned a role via iTC - the Admin should also go to the Member Center and send you a ’team' invite.
Using a current Admin or Agent account log-in and go here: https://developer.apple.com/account/#/people
Select the member account (yours), then press the "Change to Admin" button.

Im trying to set other person as admin for specific apps (To give access create provisioning profile). However, when i set the user as admin, it will open to access to all my apps in Apple Developer Program. Please help me out.
It's not possible to restrict the access of the role admin. It's only possible to roles "smaller" than admin, i.e. appmanager, developer, marketing etc.
There's also no way to give a person specific app-level access on https://developer.apple.com/account (Apple Developer Portal). The app access is only for https://appstoreconnect.apple.com (App Store Connect)
You might want to check out the official documentation over at https://developer.apple.com/support/roles/
Please note that if you have a personal/individual account, it's not possible to add people to Apple Developer Portal. It's only something company accounts can do.
Go to http://appstoreconnect.apple.com/ on your main account.
Move to Users and Access Select Developer select Plus button.
Enter valid address.
Press on All apps and select that app what you want
Note from Appstoreconnect regarding admin user role for some application:
Only active users with App Manager, Developer, Marketer or Sales roles can be edited.
I have a "single member" Apple Membership profile, and one of the developers I work with needs access to my development team to test the app he's building on his device (Xcode won't allow him to build the app without one). How can I give him access to the development team without having to give him the login credentials of my account?
As you have a individual account, you don't have any development team on your own and hence cannot invite a collegue in your not existing team. To own a team, your membership's Entity type must be Company / Organization . You can see it at https://developer.apple.com/account/#/membership/.
To update your entity type, you'll have to provide some documents about your company.
At the moment there is no simple procedure in the dashboard as "click this button, upload some documents and magic you're now Company", you'll have to ask directly to Apple support (a colleague have done this for 2 different accounts)
More infos here: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/ManagingYourTeam/ManagingYourTeam.html
If you have registered your account with type Company / Organization, go to manu People and invite a new user.
If you have registered your account as Individual, you are out of luck I think since this type of account is not able to invite users and the People menu entry does not exist.
I am having a weird issues with Xcode. I have an Individual Developer Account under my name. Now, I am working for a client and they have added me as a "App Manager" for their app. The client's account is also an "Individual Developer Account".
When I use Xcode and try to send the app to the App Store, Xcode always complain that the provisioning profile I am using is not contained in the Development Team settings. In Development Team settings I only see my own personal account and not the clients team name. My name email is used for my personal account and the member of the client's team name.
Any ideas?
UPDATE:
Xcode preferences -> Selecting User -> View Details at the bottom. Even if I click download it does not download anything. Keep in mind that the email I am using is not registered as a Apple Developer.
developer.apple.com != iTunesConnect
You may be confusing the Apple Developer site with the completely separate iTunesConnect site. The first is for all the technical stuff, and the second is for the business stuff (submitting app, sales, etc.).
See my Answer to a similar question to explain membership on each site.
Create a new Apple ID to satisfy iTunesConnect
In iTunesConnect, the "admin" person cannot assign existing Apple IDs as members with a role. Very strange. The admin is forced to create a new ID for each person being adding to the team. That means the person joining must have multiple email address. See my other Answer for a workaround to reuse your same email account.
Edit:
On my organization,
a#b.com is the legal/admin user in iTunes Connect and part of several development organizations, including company X.
a#b.com cannot be added to the iTunes Connect account for company X because it is the primary account for my company.
c#d.com has iTunes Connect admin rights for company X.
a#b.com has admin rights on the developer account for company X.
I create a+t#b.com as a new Apple ID.
I invite a+t#b.com to iTunes Connect using c#d.com. This works fine.
I invite a+t#b.com to the developer organization of company X using a#b.com.
I cannot accept the invite because a+t#b.com is prompted to join a developer program. If I hit any buttons here, I get Member Center agreement has already been accepted.
If I add a+t#b.com as an account in Xcode, it shows as under no teams, and therefore cannot publish.
If I attempt to publish as a#b.com, I cannot, because I don't have iTunes Connect rights on company X.
If I attempt to publish as c#d.com, I cannot, because I don't have iTunes Connect rights on company X.
I have an Apple ID I use to login to the developer center and iTunes connect. I've been added to another organization account as a developer, and I can make builds fine. When I try to publish the app, however, I get blocked because I don't have access to iTunes connect for the organization.
When I go to add myself to the new organization, I get this message:
"The email address you entered already belongs to an iTunes Connect account. To continue, enter a different email address."
However, any other email address I enter won't have my paid Apple Developer subscription, so I can only publish apps as stefankendall#gmail.com.
How can I add a developer to iTunes Connect and the member center as part of an organization that can publish apps? Is the only solution to buy another developer membership for this specific organization, and every other organization I would need to publish for?
The question flagged as duplicate is not applicable, since I'm the primary account holder of the first iTunes Connect account. I see no way to change the legal/admin user of an iTunes Connect organization.
...and then I'm not part of the team.
Original
Officially there is no solution for this as Apple does not offer a way to use multiple accounts. A hack for this is to use this format: someone+organization#domain.com. Apple will recognize this email as someone#domain.com where you will receive your confirmation email from Apple to be registered as a new user.
When you login use: someone+organization#domain.com alongside with your password.

iTunes connect will not let me add myself as a user
Update
When you face the error below, it is related to the confirmation of the Apple ID Account
Member Center agreement has already been accepted
Solution
Head up to https://appleid.apple.com/, Sign In with the Credentials that you created on iTunes Connect and confirm the account
Apple will send you an email at a+t#b.com, click on the link and confirm it with a+b#t.com alongside your password
Find on your a#b.com email the invitation that you got from Apple to join the team
Logout from any account in Apple Developer
Click on the link from the email
Login with a+t#b.com under the link and confirm the Development Team invitation
Now you are on both iTunes Connect and Development Team and under Xcode -> Preferences -> Accounts you should see that a+t#b.com's account is part of your company's team.
To force refresh remove the a+t#b.com account and re-add it again, and it should fetch the latest data.
create a new Apple ID, either with an email you create for the organization, or an email they give you. Signup with that email, add that account to your xcode, and publish the app from that account.
There is no reason for you to go through the hassle of switching the default on your personal account for this organization.
Login to Apple ID management and re-verify your email for the +extension#gmail.com email.
You need a new AppleID which has access to iTunesConnect of that other organization. If you have access to an account with admin rights in iTunesConnect for that organization, log in under it and go to "Users and roles". Since it is an organization, there are several users there. And there is a plus button next to "Users":
Click the plus. There you can enter the new user's name, surname and email (it will be used as an Apple ID). You can also use an existing AppleID, which is not yet registered in the iTunesConnect (iTunesConnect will show you a warning, but it's fine).
This will create an account capable of publishing apps for that organization.
Then in the Xcode settings ("Accounts" tab) you add your new account.
.
Then when you submit the app, you'll be asked to choose an account to use for submission:
Unfortunately, I don't remember if you have to register your new AppleID in the DeveloperCenter as well as in the iTunesConnect. But even if you have to, it should be easy to do: you just add it as another ID in the organization (you need to have a right to invite new users to the organization for this, of course).
We have a company account and I have admin rights on it and I am trying to Login into to
https://itunesconnect.apple.com
but its giving error.
Apple ID does not have permission to access iTunes Connect.
I can log on to Apple site and have admin rights on our companies account but could not post Application to App Store because I do not have Team Agents rights and there it gives error
"Only Team Agents are authorized to prepare and submit applications for distribution."
Now I want to post application to App store so that it could be ready for testing for multiple people.
I send an Email to IOS (eurodev#apple.com) and they send me this response which clears the conflict.
Please be advised that you currently have an Enterprise Developer
Account. As an Enterprise Developer you do not have access to iTunes
Connect, because the Enterprise Program is for internal app
distribution. Therefore you cannot submit apps to the App Store, so
there is no access to iTunes Connect as a Enterprise Developer.
If you wish to submit apps to the App Store we ask that you enroll
into the iOS Company Developer Program.
Please note, if you would like to join the iOS Company Developer you
may visit the following link:
http://developer.apple.com/programs/
Additionally, your iOS Company Enrollment and Program will need to be
managed separate from your Enterprise Program this means you need to
create a new Apple ID and also pay the enrollment cost as well.
Ask your team admin to log into iTunes Connect, in the home page click on the item "Manage Users". Here you'll find a list of Members approved to access iTunes Connect. Add a new user and select user type as iTunes connect user. Fill in the other details, the new user will get a confirmation email from Apple, once you click on the confirmation, you'll be able to access iTunes connect using your Apple ID.
The Provisioning Portal and iTunes Connect are two different things with different permissions and accounts. Just because you have access to the Provisioning Portal and can create profiles etc does not mean that you automatically have access to ITC.
The person who first set up your iPhone Developer account is the 'team agent'. They will automatically have access to ITC with 'admin' privs. You need to get them to add you as a user with 'admin' or 'technical' privs. You can then access ITC and manage application submissions on their behalf.
