How to delete an App ID associated with a Personal Team? - xcode

Ever since WWDC 2015, developers now have a Personal Team in addition to the other teams they are members of.
My account is part of an organization as well, so when I go to my Accounts in Xcode, I see something like so under Team Names:
Organization, Agent, Agent
User (Personal Team), Free, Free
I accidentally created an app identifier using the "Fix It" button in Xcode using the wrong team (personal team instead of the organization). Now if I attempt to register that App ID for my organization, it complains that it is already in use:
Failed to register bundle identifier. The app identifier "..." cannot be registered to your development team because it is not available. Change your bundle identifier to a unique string to try again.
Normally this can easily be resolved via logging in to https://developer.apple.com, navigating to your App IDs, and then deleting them. However, I can only access App IDs for my organization rather than my Personal Team. Typically if you are a member of multiple teams, it allows you to choose which team to manage. However, the Personal Team never appears as an option.
If I double click my personal team in Xcode, I do indeed see a provisioning profile for the App ID in question. I cannot figure out how to see these provisioning profiles on https://developer.apple.com.
How do I delete an App ID associated with a Personal Team that I no longer need?
Either via:
Logging in to https://developer.apple.com and managing App IDs, provisioning profiles, etc. (for a Personal Team); or
Xcode (if there is no way to do it on the developer portal).
Update: It appears that free accounts have the same problem. If I try to create a new Apple ID and log in to the developer portal, I see a severely striped down version. The top menu just shows Home, Programs & Add-ons, and Your Account. There is no way to access the iOS features such as Provisioning Profiles, App ID, etc. unless I pay the yearly developer fee. But even then, I would likely only see the App IDs for my new organization, not my Personal Team.

There is a way to sort this out. Contact the Apple Developer Program Support and they can help you delete the App ID from your free provisioning profile (you can't do it yourself at the moment). I just did this and I would recommend contacting them by phone since you will need to get past the first-line support to a Senior Advisor in order to fix this. First-line support did not understand what I was talking about.

You can also submit a request via Apple Developer Program Support
https://developer.apple.com/contact/submit/. The support team removed my personal team AppID within 24 hours, very efficient.

I had the same issue and was very frustrating! (been struggling for hours with this). I thought I had done exactly what you did above with the Fix it button and set the App Name to my "Personal Team"!? and I had no way of setting the app name up in iTunes Connect on the correct account (as I was getting the warning message "The App Name you entered has already been used".
One alternative I wasn't aware of is when you create a new App Name in iTunes Connect you need to set the Primary Language.
I was selecting "English" and there is another option for "UK English" which I needed! There are multiple English languages to choose from.
Hope this helps someone out there.

Log in to the iOS developer member center and navigate to "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles".
Once in there, navigate into the App IDs section inside of the Identifiers section.
Create a new App ID with the same wildcard bundle ID you are already using but using your Team ID based prefix as its prefix. By doing so, you will be associating your wildcard bundle ID with a new Team ID. It is okay to leave your old App ID associated with your wildcard bundle ID there and not delete it - it will be ignored going forward.
Edit all your provisioning profiles that are associated to the old App ID and update them to use the new App ID.
Go into all of the provisioning profiles that you have changed and regenerate them
Re-archive your app. Then, submit your new archive making sure to sign it with your new Team ID prefix based provisioning profile.

Resume: Just create a wild card with your new Team and your App ID created with Personal Team will be ignored.

TestFlight not sending invite to internal users

I have an app uploaded to the App Store but not submitted. I want to test with internal testers (me) and under the app’s TestFlight pane I have the one build which is indicated as “Testing”. When I click on the build and go to “App Store Connect Users” my email is listed as “invited” with the option to resend the invite.
But I haven’t received the invite and it’s not showing up in my TestFlight.
I’ve also tried adding myself in the external tester area but when I select my name in “add existing testers” window, “next” remains disabled.
I uploaded the app with an ad hoc provisioning profile, that may be the problem? I’m actually only aiming to use the app myself, so if there’s an easier way to use the existing ad hoc provisioned upload without fixing this while TestFlight issue I’d welcome that as well.
Thanks for the help!

Play Store updates/installs app using a different account than the one the user made IAP through

On this bug report on Github https://github.com/googlesamples/android-play-billing/issues/2#issuecomment-305380836 we were asked to raise the issue here.
The issue is simple. The user has 2 or more accounts on their phone, let's say xyz#gmail.com and abc#gmail.com. They install an app with the account xyz#gmail.com. They purchase some IAP items. The app updates and now the app is under abc#gmail.com and the user has lost the purchase. This happens a lot when using staged rollouts.
The main issue, as developers we aren't allowed to let the user choose which account to buy with or which account to check for purchases with.
The second issue, the Play Store app on Android ignores the user account selected on the hamburger menu. The only workaround for this is to use the Play Store website as described in this workaround https://github.com/googlesamples/android-play-billing/issues/2#issuecomment-259108286 on the same bug report.
I don't know what the ideal solution is, all I know is that this is a huge hassle for developers leading to a lot of 1-star reviews after each update.
EDIT: As pointed out in a comment, when I refer to multiple accounts I am talking about multiple Google accounts for a single Android User, I am not talking about multiple Android users within the same phone.

Where is tab "People"

I have start to develop application for iPhone. Start do it with other people, add him in developer team in iTunesConnect. But they can't see our developer team in XCode. To fix that original guide say that I need invite user by People tab, but I can't see it in my account. What I do wrong?
I am owner of developer account. Team is personal as I know.
Is it possible by it account create team and develop like team?

When I select the Pricing & Distribution tab in the Google Play Developer console, it displays 'Loading'

I'm trying to publish an app that is based on a free app that supports in-app billing and which is already published. Rather than use in-app billing in the new app, I decided to remove it and make it a paid app (the difference between the two apps is that the paid app has some enhancements that I want to get paid for).
So I created a new product in Google Play, different package name, etc. Everything went fine until I selected Pricing & Distribution, set the pricing ($0.99) and the distribution. When I tried to publish, I get the Android mascot with the text "Loading" alongside it and it stays like this. The app never appears in searches, even when it's enclosed in quotes. The original app does come up, but not the new one (the difference between the names is that the new one has the word "Pro" after it). And yes, the package names are different.
One more thing: when I uploaded the APK to the store, I got a warning about the app using in-app billing (which it does not) but there is no billing permission in the manifest. Since it was a warning and I don't do in-app billing, I ignored it and continued with the upload. I don't think this has anything to do with the "Loading" problem because it was happening before I removed in-app billing.
Any idea what's wrong?
Eventually, the problem somehow resolved itself. The app is visible in searches, although the "Loading" message in Pricing and Distribution is still stuck. Very weird.

Still old v1 Google Apps Market Place listing prevails, although new version approved

We have successfully moved to the new Google Apps Marketplace using Omniauth2 etc. Yesterday our app got approved by Google. In our listing on the Marketplace the new Chrome Webstore Item Id is in place. But when I want to make any changes to the listing it says: "Vendor is not one of the owners of the current listing". The app still has the old Consumer Key, Application ID etc. From the documentation inserting the Chrome Web store ID should be sufficient. So basically we still have to app versions with two Applications running.
What else is needed to migrate completely to the new version?
If you proceeded with the migration of your app from Marketplace V1.0 to Marketplace V2.0, the application in the old market place will be listed until the Marketplace is completely deprecated. It is no longer possible to edit the listing on the old Marketplace, only editing the new listing under the Chrome Developers Console (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard).
Keep in mind that the new Marketplace will run independently from the old Marketplace. The new one runs under the Chrome Web Store, and the ids for each store are completely independent. You cant link the old app to the new id.
