I am an self-employed iOS developer and so have my own iOS distribution membership.
For a few days, I am working as a developer in a team. My apple account has been added in their iTunes Connect / Users and Roles. It works since I can access to the app details of the current app we develop.
However, I can't get it right on Xcode. And so Xcode says the bundle ID is not right because I don't have the provisioning profiles.
In 'Project>General>Identity>Team', I can only select my own account and I don't see the new team I am part of.
I don't see it neither in the Accounts page of Xcode preferences.
A provisioning profile has been created by the team leader for me. It didn't solve the problem.
Question: How to add new team we belong to in Xcode?
Note - at long last Apple will resolve this insanity,
They are finally fixing it in 2018:
Apple has now unified both AppStore Connect and developer.apple.com systems.
To add profile & certificates capabilities:
Navigate to App Store Connect > Users and Access
Select your user account. (You may need to be a team admin to do this.)
In section "Developer Resources", check the box "Access to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles".
You will only see this option when your dev account is a 'Organization'
Update: This answer posted in February 2019 is still valid as of September 2021
Overwhelming issue here:
Apple have two totally different fundamental systems,
- the "developer.apple" system
and the
- iTunes connect system
They are completely different. As a rule you need to be in both.
It's the single most confusing (and ridiculous) thing in the whole software industry. It is a source of endless confusion.
When you suffer the problem on this page, 99% of the time the solution is "they added me on iTunes Connect, but they forgot to add me on Developer..." or "they forgot to make me an admin on one or the other."
If you are added to a existing team, Ask for an invitation as Admin
Go in apple developer center: https://developer.apple.com/account
Again, that's developer.apple,
NOT
itunesconnect.apple !!!
Once you are in at developer.apple.com/account, be sure you are in the correct team on the top right corner:
Go in section people
Be sure your are admin :
If everything it's ok here. So stop completelly Xcode and restart it.
Be sure your account is added to Xcode in Preference->Account
If not, click on the + on the bottom left corner and add your account.
Now, in your project, go on your target :
And in team, your new team must appear :
To repeat,
on Apple, there IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 'DEVELOPER' AND 'ITUNES CONNECT' THINGS.
Your company has to invite you on the "developer thing" as shown in the images here. If you're "only" invited on the "itunes thing", nothing works. Really silly and bizarre, but that's how it is.
Xcode does not see your development team(it is not a personal team) until admin check in the next setting in AppStoreConnect even if your role is Developer
Access to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles
SOLUTION : My account was not added in the certificates page of the member center of the development team leader.
He just added me and I received an invitation to join. It solved the problem since I can now select my team in Xcode.
For those who live in 2021 but are simply lost, here is where the "Team" button moved !
You’ll simply find it under the section “Signing and Capabilities” instead of “Main”. See the image below:
In addition of what #opyh said, your user must have checked the option "Access to certificates, identifiers and profiles." in https://itunesconnect.apple.com/access/users to see your own team.
After that, you have to add your account in xcode > target > team, and you will show your user is assigned to a team.
For this you have to do following things:
Check whether your apple ID is added into the team on Apple
Developer portal with specific role. If not then it should be added.
After that you have to add your apple account in the
settings of the Xcode at following path. If added then remove and add again
Xcode -> Preferences ->
Accounts -> Add the account by clicking on 'Plus' (+) button on the
left botttom section
If this is done and still have a issue then regenerate the provisioning profile, install and use it.
It seems when Apple merged App Store Connect and Developer accounts, some accounts have been missed, like mine – In my case (I am part of a team, but not the account holder), I had to use a different solution:
Check if your team shows up on https://appstoreconnect.apple.com (as entry in the menu in the top right corner)
Check if your team shows up on https://developer.apple.com/account (as entry in the menu in the top right corner)
If the team is missing in one of the menus, let the account owner remove your membership in App Store Connect and re-invite you. After accepting your new invitation, the missing team should be displayed on both App Store Connect and the Developer portal. Now you can also use it in Xcode.
You may also need the appropriate certificate. without the need to have full access to certifications or to be full admin
you can email the creator of the signing certificate. Ask the creator to export the signing certificate on their Mac so you can install it on your Mac.
Please see the link below for more information:
Apple's documentation of what app signing is
https://help.apple.com/xcode/mac/current/#/dev3a05256b8
Apple's documentation on how to "Create, export, and delete signing certificates"
https://help.apple.com/xcode/mac/current/#/dev154b28f09
I faced into the same issue, after 1 hour trying many ways, they showed your developer program was expired :D. Why don't it show at the first time to save my time.
For me I had to go build settings under Signing -> Code signing identity then changed it to iOS Developer and went under Development team -> select others then add the team key.
I had this same issue. I needed my admin to additionally grant me 'Access to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles'. The solution was given here by user bruno887 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/117098
If you recently signed into the account, ensured you have the correct permissions in Apple Developer + App Store Connect, and still can't get a new team to show up, I've had to restart my computer or log out / log in order to get it to appear. Sounds crazy but this has been the only resolution for me on multiple occasions.
Removing the user in App Store Connect, Mac Settings, and re-login the user that worked for me.

I recently got invited to an Apple Developer Team. When i log in via the apple.developer.com portal, I can clearly see the Apple Developer Program that I am apart of.
However, whenever I try to sign into xcode using my apple ID, I am only given the option of Name (Personal Team) and not the development team that I am apart of.
Has anybody had this issue before, and what are some troubleshooting steps I could take. I am an app manager role and have tried removing and re-linking my Apple ID and nothing has worked so far.
You can add multiple accounts in the Xcode > Preferences > Accounts pane. Click the + on the bottom left of the pane to add another account.
In your project settings, under signing, you can change your team there.
I am unable to add a new device in the Certificates, Identifiers, and Profiles section of the Apple Developer portal.
I have two developer accounts, one personal account and one account for a company. The account for the company, I am set as a 'member' for the team. This is the account that I am unable to add a new device for. (I am also not able to download the Distribution certificate, which I believe is a related issue that I need resolved too).
I have researched the other similar questions on SO, but neither of them applied to my scenario.
Here is a picture showing the + button disabled (greyed out)
From Apple documentation:
Team members can’t register devices and create development
provisioning profiles using their developer account.
Ask from someone who has Team admin or Team agent privileges to add you.
I figured it out. Team Members are unable to add a new device via the Developer Portal. However, they are allowed to add a new device to the provisioning file via XCode. I was working with Xamarin and didn't know that I needed to go back to XCode in order to add a new device to the provisioning file.
If you're working in Xamarin and experience this problem, you need to create a 'dummy app' in XCode with the same info as your Xamarin app. Then select your team and it should generate the correct provisioning file for you. After that, build and run your app on your device, then a pop up window should display telling you that the device is not in the provisioning file, then asks if you would like to add it. A simple click of 'Yes' will automatically add the device to the provisioning file which is then reflected on the Developer Account.
Hope that helps someone else! I spent many hours trying to figure this out.
Every time I press "New" in Organizer - Devices - Library - Provisioning Profiles I get a message:
"Your developer account needs to be updated. Please visit the Member Center. http://developer.apple.com/membercenter"
When I go there, everything is up-to-date and I nothing is indicating there I need to update anything. All my personal information are updated and also all new legal agreements are approved and read. I have admin rights.
I use Xcode 4.6.
Just checked it - you need to be admin or agent to add devices, so you need to ask your admin/agent to add the device for you or ask for becoming the admin/agent in your team. In case of further problems you should delete all your connected accounts from Xcode and readd the ones you need.
As App Distribution Guide states:
Before a team member can launch an app on his or her device, the device needs to be registered and added to the team provisioning profile. Xcode automatically registers team agent and admin devices when needed, as described in “Launching Your App on Devices” (page 84). However, a team agent or admin must register team member devices on their behalf.
This make perfect sense as in other way the listo of devices would be not manageable.
In my case, the first part of the error message
Your developer account needs to be updated. Please visit the Member
Center. http://developer.apple.com/membercenter
is rightly pointing to the resolution. That is there were a couple of Apple IDs that I added to my Xcode->Prefrences->Accounts and they were no longer valid. So, deleting or updating them resolve the issue.
I got a strange error in my Xcode organizer when I want to update my Provisioning profiles.
Xcode says this:
"No iOS Development certificate was found. However, there is already a certificate request pending. An Agent or Admin must approve this request before you can download your certificate."
I never experienced this before so if someone got an explanation and maybe a solution, it could be nice :).
I check on the provisioning page in the developer zone on the Apple website but I don't find something that could be broken :/
The trick that did it for me was to log into developer.apple.com and manually create a dev certificate and then manually create a provisioning profile. I have only one team with only one member (me) so there was no way for me to approve a certificate. When I tried to do it automatically through the Xcode organizer, the error just persisted.
Same error message here. Seems to have multiple sources.
Mine was that I have a developer account and joining two teams.
In one team i had no Certificates at all. In the past this did not cause any problems. In Xcode Organizer I could choose which team I try to fetch the Provisioning Profiles. And if chose the team for which I had Development Certificate the Provisioning Profiles got downloaded with no error.
I think, with the new improved Member Center starting from april 2013 the Organizer fetches automatically all team accounts - without asking for a specific team. As one team had no certificate at all, the process of fetching for all teams stop with this error message.
Solution (for this problem) is to add a Development Certificate for ALL teams.
Having just gone through this myself, I highly recommend you contact Apple Developer Program Support and have them walk you through the process of resetting your certificates and profiles. It is not a difficult thing to do manually, but there are lots of ways to muck it up (I speak from experience) AND the more people that call the more likely they are to continue improving the process.
That said, the short(-ish) answer is to delete all of your developer and installer certificates from Keychain, then delete all certificates and provisioning profiles from the portal, then create them all again from scratch, and then refresh Xcode to bring them all in.
Oh, and be sure to back it all up when you're done!
I got the same issue, and solved it by clicking my team under "Teams" in organiser. I only have one team there atm, and didn't expect that to have any impact, but it forced a reload of the profiles or so, and now it works. Hth.
My situation was that I got this message when trying to refresh my old certificates (developer + distribution) from Xcode, when they had expired due to the yearly renewal of the developer program.
For what it's worth, I managed to fix the problem by this procedure (roughly):
Delete my old "iOS Team Provisioning Profile" from my device
Open my keychain and delete the old private keys associated with with the expired certificates.
Remove the expired certificates from the list in Xcode's organizer (on the portal, they were deleted already).
Generate new certificates manually on the portal, following the instructions in detail (including downloading the new certificates and double-click to install).
After trying a new refresh in Xcode's organizer, I still got the same error message, but when checking on the device, a new provisioning profile had now been automatically created and installed, so I could forget about the error message.
You have developer access in apple developer profile. Please ask admin to approve your certificate request.When admin/agent will approve then automatically that error will be removed.
As the message says you need to log into developer.apple.com site and approve the certificate request.
If you are not the agent for your account, then you will need to get the agent to approve the request.
Oddly all it took for me was:
First do an export (just to be safe!)
Xcode 5:
In Xcode -> Preferences -> Accounts
Click the cog icon at the bottom left -> Export Accounts...
Enter a filename and password and save
Ideally, then back it up somewhere that's not your Mac (Dropbox for example) - it is encrypted so that's okay.
Then for the actual fix:
Xcode 5:
In Xcode -> Preferences -> Accounts
Select the Apple ID in the left column
Click the "-" (minus) icon at the bottom left and conf
Click the "+" (plus) icon at the bottom left -> Apple ID... and login
Everything was then just fine...
In Xcode: Menu Xcode --> Preferences --> Accounts --> View Details
Then press the refresh button in the lower left corner.
I got a slightly different message recently Nov-2021 using xcode 13.x . The message was "ios_develop.cer file not found" when I was trying to "Build" the project, even though the file was there although it was expired. I was not surprised, I hadn't built this solution for years. I do renew my Apple developer subscription every year. My son took a very old school solution to fix this that I wanted to mention in case it helps anyone. Apple tools like "Manage Certificates" wouldn't let me delete the old certificate so we deleted the certificate in File Manager and generated some new ones, but we couldn't get xcode past the "file not found" message, even with certificates created in xcode "Manage Certificates". Then my son copied the new Developer cert to the location it was looking for and renamed it to exactly the name it was looking for. Xcode then started to fuss about permissions on the new cert which we fixed in Get Info, Properties "Allow Access to All" both the public and private cert. I really thought there was zero chance this would work but go figure, all the sudden the old xcode project fully Built and we were able to place the iPhone executable on iPhones that were in the provisioning list. Refreshing that such an old style approach (placing a file where it was looked for) worked so well. Now that Apple sees that this works they will probably check to see the cert was provided only through their tools, but it should work for a while.
I have the same problem. There is indeed nothing to approve, the status of my certificates is issued, if there would be a need for provenance there would be a button to do so. To be able to continue working I just deleted the "Xcode managed" profile, created a new one, downloaded it (not using Xcode) and throw it into Organizer.
I met the same problem with an Apple ID account (admin) with two Team. Once I remove my account from one of the team, that message never bother me anymore. But in this case, if I want to refresh all provision profiles using two distinct account. Hope this will help.
Just download the provision files manually solved the problem for me.
I was able to solve this issue for myself by discovering I had a couple of CSR's that I hadn't completed. Both files had the extension .certSigningRequest and had been produced through the Member Center (not Xcode). But I had not completed the upload and certificate generation, which is what Xcode was complaining about when it said "However, there is already a certificate request pending.". Once I completed those steps the problem went away.
I'm trying to build my apps. I've installed the provisioning profiles that my team has set up. I've installed my developer certificate and the WWDR certificate. But when I refresh my provisioning profile library it throws this error:
I have no idea what to do.
It seems like I had two accounts for apple like most people: 1) email address account and 2) just apple user ID login.
When you sign up for an iOS developer account, only one account gets approved as an iOS developer. It doesn't matter if those two accounts are merged and linked inside apple profile, only one gets approved. You can check this by logging into both accounts separately to their developer website. One account will say you are a member and another will say pay up the fee to become iOS developer.
The problem is that your keychain already stored one of apple id credentials from the past... and you probably signed up for apple iOS developer program using the other apple login. Xcode automatically gets keychain's previously stored credential for 'Teams' section and since that account from keychain was not activated for the iOS developer account, it's complaining that no one is a valid developer in 'Teams'.
To solve this,
delete any, all apple related stuff from your keychain login.
revoke all the problematic profiles, certs, etc from apple website.
just redo provisioning process only using iOS developer approved apple login.
From XCode Organizer's Teams section, click 'refresh' icon at the bottom and follow direction.
This happened to me when I use Apple Developer account which does not have valid iOS developer certificate. The certificate is either expired or never bought in the first place.
Once I log in with the valid iOS Developer account, the problem no longer appears.
My solution was a simple logout from iTunes and Mac App Store. I was loged with an different Apple ID. This Apple ID is different from my Apple ID that I'm using for iOS Program.
I got the message too:
"Too few items in Property/teams/Entity/Developer"
It works now, after adding my account (which is connected with the macbook in itunes and which I used in Xcode) to an "Developer" under "Peoples" at https://developer.apple.com/membercenter/index.action#iPhoneDev
Give it a try.
Just a quick note if somebody from Mac Develop program lands here:
I'm brand new to Apple development, so, maybe this is a common knowledge, but I didn't ran across.
Signed up for Mac Developer program, not iOS, and tried to "Refresh from Developer Portal" with exact same error: "Too few items in teams." Tried all the steps above and elsewhere, with no success.
Ended up calling their support to only find out that this particular functionality doesn't work with Mac Dev only (no iOS Dev) membership profiles. So, manual download/import is the solution as tech on the phone told me that it looks for iOS teams, doesn't find it and errors out.
Hope this helps & saves a couple of hours of frustration for somebody.

Provisioning Profile Refresh Troubleshooting:
If you are receiving the error message:
Too few items in Teams
Perform the steps below:
Open Keychain Access > Passwords category.
Delete the entries for daw.apple.com and daw2.apple.com
Retry the Provisioning Profile Refresh process.
I still encountered the same issue after following the other answers on this page. Here is what I needed to do to get things working.
Make sure that you have fully accepted the invitation email to join the Apple Developer program. Your account admin can verify your status through the management panel.
Click the link inside the "Please verify your email address" email
Click the "submit" button to finish registration
Go to developer.apple.com. In the upper right menu area, select "Member Center." Once in the Member Center, select "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles."
Verify your accounts have not expired; or if new to the program (or renewal) that the order has been processed.
