Apple - App Store Connect - New Tester invalid password

Question

I'm trying to setup a sandbox account in Apple's App Store Connect. I've tried every variation of passwords: all lowercase with number and a special character, at least one upper in that same configuration, only alpha characters. No matter I try, it clears the popup indicating it is invalid and allows me to "Invite", but immediately rejects it again. I can't seem to find the password requirements for this anywhere. Suggestions?

Here is a screen shot:

Answer 1

Looking at the response of the error:

{
  "errors" : [ {
    "id" : "a55bc8f2-b911-47d6-9b52-c06c1f592310",
    "status" : "409",
    "code" : "ENTITY_ERROR.ATTRIBUTE.INVALID",
    "title" : "The provided entity includes an attribute with an invalid value",
    "detail" : "Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde bereits für eine andere Apple-ID bestätigt.",
    "source" : {
      "pointer" : "/data/attributes/password"
    }
  } ]
}

1.) It looks like the pointer is wrong - it should point to the email.

2.) The address may not be in use for an existing apple ID.

3.) Use a different email.

The reasons can be manifold. Due to the shocking engineering quality of AppStoreConnect you will have debug this yourself in case of an error.

Open the DevTools and watch the activity on the network:

{
  "errors" : [ {
    "id" : "80fbaf6e-088a-4799-be70-1f8a657d97cb",
    "status" : "409",
    "code" : "ENTITY_ERROR.ATTRIBUTE.INVALID",
    "title" : "The provided entity includes an attribute with an invalid value",
    "detail" : "MZDSExceptionMessage=Your password must have at least one capital letter., MZDSExceptionErrorCode=-21102",
    "source" : {
      "pointer" : "/data/attributes/password"
    }
  } ]
}

Sometimes it even points to the wrong control.

{
  "errors" : [ {
    "id" : "378775a9-1e5b-4e4a-bed9-4108f325b840",
    "status" : "409",
    "code" : "ENTITY_ERROR.ATTRIBUTE.INVALID",
    "title" : "The provided entity includes an attribute with an invalid value",
    "detail" : "MZDSExceptionMessage=The answer to your question cannot be the same as the question., MZDSExceptionErrorCode=-20156",
    "source" : {
      "pointer" : "/data/attributes/password"
    }
  } ]
}

The password requirements that worked for me:

• 2 digits
• 2 symbols ($$)
• 2 capital letters
• total length of 19
