Xcode 7.1 - Not authorized to use this service Error

Question

I did a fresh install of OSX on my machine yesterday and installed Xcode 7.1. After having signed in with my developer account and fixing all code signing issues that come along, I wanted to upload my tvOS app.

Important to say that I did not change a single line of code in the app.

Each time I try uploading it, I get "You are not authorized to use this service" and I can't proceed.

I also tried all the steps described in this post to solve it without success.

Does anyone have the same issues? Is it Xcode, iTunesConnect or tvOS App Store not fully enabled yet?

Answer 1

Okay, finally figured out something that worked (all of the certificate issues etc turned out to be irrelevant; though frustratingly it did work 1 time (out of about 30) from within Xcode Organiser which meant I kept trying:

• Do the usual Product -> Archive thing
• In Organiser click on the "Export..." button
• Choose "Save for Apple TV App Store Deployment"
• Export that
• Now from Xcode Menu (not via spotlight etc) choose Open Developer Tool -> Application Loader
• Verify this is version 3.3 (not 3.0 which won't work)
• Click on "Choose"
• Pick the IPA you have just exported
• Follow submission process

Hopefully Apple will sort out whatever issues are going on with Organiser soon.

Answer 2

I tried several recommendations I've seen around Stack Overflow, and the Apple Forums. This includes deleting every single one of my Apple accounts from Xcode, restarting and then adding them back again (what a pain! I have 15 dev accounts!) Unfortunately for me, none of those options worked.

The only thing that did resolve this behavior for me was to use Application Loader to upload my binary to the store. That worked without any issues.

For those unfamiliar with Application Loader, you simply build your app as normal and archive it to the Organizer. Then export the binary for App Store distribution. Then import that generated .ipa file into Application Loader and follow the process to upload it to the store.
