I have a paid individual Apple iTunes Connect account and one of my clients wants to upload the current iOS application developed to their Account.
So they added me as a member of their iTunes account. I accepted the invitation but the team is not listed anywhere in my iTunes connect.
What should be the issue?
What should I do next to upload my currently developed app to their account with new certificates? Do I need to change Developer, Distribution and Provision certificates?
If you are added as Developer in itunes you can upload the app using that account. But in order to get the certificates you need to login to https://developer.apple.com/ and generate the certificate and provisioning profile. iTunes account is different from Developer account.

I have invited my developer in iTunes Connect to my account with the roles developer, marketing and app manager. I have an existing Apple Developer account as an individual. My developer is now complaining that he cannot publish the new app as he need some access to the Apple Developer account.
Am I missing something. Because I couldn't find any option to add him in my Apple Developer Account, only in iTunes Connect where he has access.
For an app to submit on AppStore, we need a couple of things like:
Apple Distribution Certificate
Register a bundle identifier
Distribution Provisioning Profile for your app.
All the mentioned things can be completed on https://developer.apple.com
As you have an individual account, so you can do 3 things...
Create the mentioned things and send them to your developer
Give your developer access to your developer creds and your developer can do it for you.
Convert your individual account to the Company account if possible and give your developer proper rights to do the required things.
Please comment if you have any questions.
Hope it helps!
Your developer would need an iOS development certificate to build the app under your account, and your iOS distribution certificate to distribute it (e.g., upload to your iTunesConnect, now AppstoreConnect, account). This is before any question of access permissions for AppstoreConnect.
So you would need either:
company developer.apple.com account where you can assign your developer the developer role
share your Apple ID credentials with your developer, which I guess you don't want to do
I have admin role of an account and able to view the team in app store connect website but with the same account not able to view the same on developer.apple.com. Did't get what is going wrong here.
Update : Adding a user from developer.apple.com, redirect to the appstore connect. It means now there is no difference between developer.apple.com user and app store connect users.
Appstore connect team is different and Developer.apple.com access is different
you have admin role on Appstore Connect but not on developer.apple.com
ask owner of the account to give you access on developer.apple.com
hope it solve your issue
happy coding =)
Your client need to add you in Apple Developer
iTunes Connect only and only allows you to submit your apps to the App Store while Apple Developer allows you to create your certificates and provisioning profiles, sign your apps, and distribute development and ad-hoc builds.
Finally got reply from Apple support.
In my case, I have admin access but the team was being shown only in developer and not in appstore connect.
My solution was to select the team in Developer Account and from there you see a button to go to AppStore Connect.
After clicking the button teams were in sync.
I'm very confused by how Apple handles this. Here is my situation:
Im a solo IOS developer with a paid Apple Developer account. I can access iTunes connect and upload apps there, this works fine. I pick "manage signing automatically" in XCode using "IOS Developer" Code Signing identity.
So this works.
An organization Im working for invited me in iTunes connect. So I can create apps for them on them too. Now I have two things on my account there.
How can I upload an app for their account? I cant seem to transfer an existing app and I cant seem to sign it with an identity which matches their profile/account/whatever.
The process appears confusing but actually it isn't. Lets walk through it:
First you create an AppleID. You then use that AppleID to register for a Developer program. Registering to a developer program gives access to two types of accounts. Or rather say that you are provided with the access to two different portals for the same account. One is developer portal and other is iTunes Connect. For background work like registering an AppID, testing devices and managing certificates and profiles you use Developer Portal. For frontend work like creating an app to be published to the AppStore, uploading your build, distributing it for testing you use iTunes Connect portal.
Now if you are being invited by some other organisation in its developer program with the same AppleID, you have two accounts linked to the same AppleID. Now when you login to the developer portal you are logged in to the one account automatically and you can change to the other by selected from a dropdown at the top right. Once you have selected the organisation you then continue working same when you worked previously with a single account.
Here is the screenshot of my developer dashboard with multiple accounts:
Hope this clarifies.
The team agent can initiate the app transfer.
Steps:
My Apps
Select your app
Scroll to the Additional Information section
and click Transfer App, then click Done.
See more details on app transfer here
To sign an app you need provisioning profile and signing entity (.p12 file)
Or Apple Developer Account access from where you can generate certs and provisioning profile and download
After getting signing identity and provisioning profile from Apple Developer Account perform following steps
Archive App
Open Organiser (Xcode >> Window >> Organiser)
Select app and version you want to upload
Click Upload to App Store and follow instructions
I have my own iTunes Connect Account and Apple developer license.
Now I joined and existing developer Team and want to be able to upload builds for them to iTunes Connect.
I got added via developer.apple.com with my existing developer account email, and assigned the role "Administrator". This worked well. But now it's not possible to add this existing account to the company's iTunes Connect.
If I add myself with another email address, I can not upload builds, as this new email does not have a Apple Developer subscription.
What do I do to be able to upload builds to iTunesConnect with my existing developer account?
I have this situation and I have to upload builds using Application Loader. There you can log in directly with your iTunes Connect email address without it complaining that you're not a registered developer. Perform the archive in Xcode and then export the app for the App Store. From Application Loader, find the .ipa file on your computer and upload it.
I have been contracted to update an app for a client. I was given the project in a .zip file (because their old developer left). I successfully fixed the application and now I have to upload it to their iTunes Connect account.
My problem is that in order to add me as a developer to their iTunes Connect, I had to create an Apple ID with an email extension (because iTunes Connect won't let you join multiple teams) e.g. myname+clientname#gmail.com.
Now when I try to upload the app, I get an issue that the team identifier on my distribution provisioning profile is not the same as the team identifier of my iTunes Connect account.
How do I do this? It seems like a normal thing for freelance developers to have to do, so there must be a way to create a provisioning profile with the right team ID prefix for uploading the app.
Also, I am using my own developer center account for which I already have a linked personal iTunes Connect account.
