hello,
When I used xcode to generate the model encryption key, an error was reported, the error was 'Failed to Generate Encryption Key and Sign in with you Apple ID in the Apple ID pane in System Preferences and retry '.But I have logged in my apple id in the system preferences, and this error still occurs.I reinstalled xcode and re-logged in to my apple id. This error still exists.

Xcode Version 12.4
macOS Catalina 10.15.7

thanks

We tested this on multiple different XCode/MacOS versions are having the issue on all platforms;

  • XCode Version 12.4 running on MacOS Big Sur 11.2.3

  • XCode Version 12.5 beta 3 (12E5244e) running on MacOS Big Sur 11.2.3

  • XCode Version 12.3 (12C33) running on MacOS Catalina 10.15.6

Surprisingly, on April 1st at approximately 5pm eastern time I installed XCode 12.5 beta 3 and was able to generate the key. However this morning at 9am eastern time I am no longer able to generate it and it fails with same issue.

When I tried to use Xcode 12.5 RC, it successfully generate the encryption key.

So I think maybe the next Xcode version will solve this issue.

Big Sur version 11.3.1 with Xcode 12.5 (12E262), no success. 

Could you please once more try after activating iCloud in System Preferences > Apple ID? There are no known issues on Version 12.5 (12E262) and I confirmed today that I can generate encryption keys and use that to encrypt my CoreML models.
