I'm developing an IOS app for a client who got his IOS Developer Account and don't want to share the credentials, is there a way to sign that app without the credentials, I already got the certificate and provisioning profile but on the archiving stage the account is required.
Thanks in advance.
Yes there is a way, you can ask your client to log in through Team viewer. Through team viewer your screen will be shared with your client, you both can see what is ongoing on your screen. As password is secure field you can not see password but you will get signed in on your system.

I'm signing my macOS application with a Developer ID Application Certificate and sending it to Apple's notary service. When I'm uploading the build from XCode I'm getting the following error:
Failed retrieving request UUID for upload. You may have outstanding
agreements to sign on App Store Connect.
I've checked the following URLs and I don't have any new prompts for new agreements:
https://developer.apple.com/account/
https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/
https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/agreements/#/
Is this a bug from Xcode/App Store Connect or does the message refer to other agreements that must be signed?
After failing to solve this with an Apple Support person, I removed an admin who did not have a current individual Apple Development account from the Team. Solved the issue instantly.
Had the same issue and also no outstanding agreements to sign.
In the end, the problem was, that the user who wanted to upload the build for notarization didn't have "Access to Cloud Managed Developer ID Certificate" in the Users and Access section on App Store Connect. It worked before for that user, so something in the backend must have changed in the meanwhile.
I had the same problem, no agreements to sign, I had Access to Cloud Managed Developer ID Certificate and still got the error.
To fix it I went to Xcode->Preferences-> removed my developer account from Xcode the re-added my developer account to Xcode and it worked.
Update from November 2022: I no longer receive the error from the question, it was probably fixed by Apple on their side.
I am migrating a few apps to App Signing, and to Android App Bundle. But since I'm not an account owner or account admin I can't do it.
In order to do it, you need to:
Upload the signing key (and optionally the upload key)
Accept the terms
The problem is that I am the developer, an admin only of my specific app. The terms have to be accepted by the account owner/admin. The account owner does not have the signing key, and shouldn't. So not sure how to proceed, as neither of us has all prerequisites for completing the process.
Q: Can the account owner somehow just accept the "Play App Signing Terms of Service", without having to upload a key?
P.S. There's the option to ask the account owner to make me account admin, which allows me to accept these specific terms (I'm currently only app admin). However, the account owner is not comfortable with giving me such high privileges, as they also have other apps on the same account. Not a solution.
Yes.
Ask Owner to go to Google Play Console, from left menu select Setup > App integrity
Click on Create release button
Then click on change app signing key
Choose use Google-generated key
Accept license agreement
And voila, now you can use it without admin privileges.
Note: This is tested many times before.
I am the owner of multiple apps on google play. I have a keystore for each app. Now I am outsourcing to a developer and this person is also helping me with stuff on google play developer console such as in-app purchases. He is now saying he needs the keystore and the related passwords to sign a release. I do not want to share those for security reasons. What should I do in this case? is there any workaround to allow him to continue working without sharing keystore and credentials?
You can perform the release yourself. After all you just have to compile the code and sign it. (I asume you use GIT).
You could use the Google App Sign, the signing data it's hosted in your google developer account and not in an external keystore, each time you upload an update google play will sign it. Take a look at this please: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/7384423
Lets say A is the owner. I want B, C and D users from our team to be able to upload the new versions of our application. Is this possible?
From this it is not very clear to me what kind of permission has a user.
If somebody has any experience to this part is welcome.
You need the google account details to sign in to the Developer Console.
Any application uploaded to the play store must be signed.
From Google documentation
Android requires that all apps be digitally signed with a certificate before they can be installed. Android uses this certificate to identify the author of an app, and the certificate does not need to be signed by a certificate authority. Android apps often use self-signed certificates. The app developer holds the certificate's private key.
Signed apk file have a binary file it build and signed with.
Only the developer have this file on his own computer . Once an application first signed and was uploaded to the store all the other versions of the app must build and be signed against the same binary file.
If a developer looses this file he will no longer be able to publish updates to his own app .
Warning: Keep your keystore and private key in a safe and secure place, and ensure that you have secure backups of them. If you publish an app to Google Play and then lose the key with which you signed your app, you will not be able to publish any updates to your app, since you must always sign all versions of your app with the same key.

It is possible to add another user permission to your Developer console.
Here list of permissions you can choose to share:
Create & edit draft apps
Edit store listing, pricing & distribution
Manage Production APKs
Manage Alpha & Beta APKs
Manage Alpha & Beta users
View financial reports
Reply to reviews
Edit games
Publish games
View AdWords campaigns
Create AdWords campaigns
These permissions can be Global to all apps on account or only for particular apps.
Anyway if you share Manage Production APKs permission you'll have to share the signature file as well.
I am working on an app in ruby using:koala:omniauth
When I click share to wall from the application it allows me to share and
changes my permission accordingly. When I use an account that is not setup as a developer it sends 200 error "permissions not provided." but does not ask for "permissions" like it did with the account connected to facebook developer.
Is there a setting somewhere on Facebook developer that controls this?
I would like all users to be re-asked the permission and not just developers of the app.
Yes, you need to ask Facebook to review the app for special permissions..
