When I am archiving my macOS app and try to push it to the AppStore via the Xcode Organizer, I get the message "unable to authenticate with App Store connect".


I tried revoking all my certificates, checked the user access (admin, account owner), activated all outdated signing certs and profiles. Cleaned DerivedData, cleaned build fiolder, without any luck.


Please advice, it should be an easy task to submit an app, right?

I'm having the same experience. I was able to hover over the error and get more detail... for about 1/3 of a second, once. Something about not being able to connect (?) or authenticate with the App Store, but I have not been able to induce it to give me that information again.

Did you manage to work around this somehow?

  1. Check if your account is active (Command + ,) -> Select Accounts -> Check your account status

  2. Make sure everything is ok in your "Code Signing" in Build Settings

  3. If everything is ok, and still have the problem, restart Xcode
