XCode won't let me change my login details - xcode

Xcode states.
xxxx#gmail.com is not a Registered Apple Developer.
This is really annoying, as I have a registered account, I just typed the wrong one. How to I get another opportunity to login.

Delete all the documentation links in that preference pane and then click on "check & install now" button again.
That should bring you back to the login dialog.

Instructions from this similiar question might work, they just did for me:
How can I change the Apple ID that Xcode 4 uses to download components?
It seems it's better to download Xcode directly from Member Center (not trough the Mac App Store).

Cannot change Apple ID in App Store for downloading Yosemite

I want to download the latest version of Mac OSX (Yosemite). But, the app store doesn't let me change the user id for authentication.
Interestingly, I don't know whose apple ID is prepopulated into the text box. I have used my macbook all by myself until now!
I tried to logout and login again. But didn't work.
Does anybody know how should I fix this and download Yosemite?
The Problem is the way Apps are tied to IDs.
A step-by-step guide to solve this problem:
Go to the app listed in the App Store as needing an update (usually in the /Applications folder).
Right click the app then click “Show Package Contents”.
Go into the “Contents” folder, then into the “_MASReceipt” folder.
Delete the “receipt” file (you may need to enter a local administrator username and password).
Please note that the app will still work as intended.
Theres a pretty good explanation in here: http://www.valiant-ny.com/2014/06/grayed-out-apple-id-explained/
In the MacAppStore's task bar go to Store and then log out. Then try it again.
(I have changed my ID to new one in Mac System.
Apple ICON > System Preference > Sign Out > New ID.
And then I changed the App Store ID like below.)
Open App Store
In the top main menu, Select Store > Logout
And the Sign In with new ID

Xcode 6 crashes while submit

I just loaded Xcode 6 GM seed. Now I want to submit an update of my app.
Archiving works so far. But when I click "Submit", as soon as the upload loading bar appears Xcode crashes.
Do I need Yosemite?
I had to download the Application Loader from Apple because Xcode could not find it.
Do I need Yosemite?
No. Mine crashed the same way, so i uploaded my app using Xcode 5.1. It worked fine.
The Application Loader seems the only thing that works right now. Had the same problem, while uploading or even just validating.
Just export via Organizer and Upload via Application Loader helped.
I was faced same problem. Now it works fine.
Solution : Just accept new changed terms and condition from apple developer account and resubmit it.
Please Make sure you've accepted all of the new agreements & condition in the Member Center.
To check if you need to, you can go to the preferences -> accounts in XCode, and chose to view details of an account and attempt to refresh button. Here, XCode will warn you that you need to accept new agreements in the Member Center before you can refresh.
or just login to developer account and go to here https://developer.apple.com/membercenter/index.action
I was able to make Xcode work, but I had to go to iTunes connect and start the process there first by going "My Apps" and clicking on the plus sign. Fill in the info and hit save. Then try submitting with Xcode and it should work.
OK. Here's my $0.02.
1) Xcode 6GM crashes every single time for me. I am running 10.9.4. I have no idea how widespread the issue is, but it is 100% repeatable for me. I cannot use Xcode 6 to submit apps for review.
The crash happens during the upload. I have submitted a RADAR report and given crash logs.
2) I was able to submit using the App Loader. Here's how you do that:
2.1) In the Organizer, after you have done the Archive, select the latest archive for submit.
2.2) Instead of "Submit," select "Export."
2.3) Select the first choice (App Store).
2.4) Open the Application Loader.
2.5) Select "Choose."
2.6) Select the .ipa that you just saved in the export.
2.7) That will work. You may get a message teling you that the API file is too big for analysis. I got that for all 9 of the apps I just submitted. In my case, I ignored it.
I think they rewrote the whole application load from scratch, and that Xcode is still buggy as hell.
They had a deadline, and rushed it. It shows.
I expect both the server (Web) component and Xcode to apply patches soon.
In my case, I'm quite annoyed, as I had to rush out a fix for the arbitrary decision they made to change the way that the CLLocationManager works, which broke all my location lookups. The fix is simple, but there will be a period of time when I receive hate mail from the users that upgrade to iOS 8, and the app stops working.
Joy.
I just installed the official version from the App Store and now everything works fine.
I had the same problem. When XCode crashes during export or submit it means that you have non-valid certificate or provision profile in build settings.
Here is the solution:
Accept new changed terms and condition from apple developer account. (Just like Sandeep said)
Go to here to generate new provision profiles, for App Store & AdHoc (Tutorial)
Double click new provision profiles you downloaded to install them, and then XCode will never crash.
The problem is caused by XCode 6.0 does not handle provision profile migration properly. Developers should regenerate provision profiles for XCode 6+, but Xcode 6.0 fails to display this error message properly and crashes. (If you use XCode 6.1 Beta, it will display error messages for you, no crash. Then you will know that the problem is caused by "invalid"=="legacy" provision profile.)
After that, you can submit app and export Ad Hoc distribution for Testflight.

Cannot change Apple ID into App Store

I use Mac OS: 10.9.2. When I update Xcode to 5.1.1 the App Store ask the apple ID. I had log out the current apple ID and login my account but it also ask pass word of the old apple ID(I can not click into the field Apple ID to change the name). Please help me to change apple id or delete the old.
Edit
Finally, I can resolved this. I move to trash all the versions of Xcode which I have in Application. Then go to App Store to install new version of Xcode with my Apple ID.
Reason:
This happens because the app was downloaded using another Apple ID and xcode is tied to that account.
How to solve this ?
Sign in into Mac App Store with “your current ID account” and check under Purchases menu, whether you have xcode.
Also check in System Preferences » App Store » What ID shows below “Automatic download apps purchased...”
If xcode is present under your current ID Purchases (grayed out saying INSTALLED), feel free to erase the app from your HD. An install button must be shown after and you can download and update the app again.
If the above doesn't work, you can get rid of the greyed out Apple ID email by making following selection
Applications » xcode (right click on Show Package Contents) » Contents » and delete the file inside “_MASReceipt” folder (do a backup before just in case).
xcode will still work, you must get rid of the grayed login name.This will work if xcode is already in your curent Apple ID
I was having the same issue.This happens because the app was downloaded using another Apple ID and xcode is tied to that account. If you installs new app then there wont be any issue.
Solution
Go to Applications -> xCode -> Click Show Packaged Content ->
Content -> _MASReceipt -> Receipt. Delete this receipt file. Do not
worry xcode will still work.
Now try to update xcode from app store. You will be able to get app
store id login popup without grayed apple id.
Still you might face some issues as I faced. I got this error. If you are also facing some issue then continue following 3,4 and 5 steps.
Go to application -> Move xCode to trash.
Go to trash -> Put Back xCode.
Go to app store and update the xCode.
It worked for me :)
Refer :- http://www.valiant-ny.com/2014/06/grayed-out-apple-id-explained/
For me, the locked-in Apple ID was from a former employee. Following steps eventually fixed it for me:
Go to Settings » Users & Groups » Delete the old user account
Start Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions
In the App Store menu, hit Store » Sign Out / Sign In
There's a "Sign Out" option in the App Store app under the "Store" menu.
It looks like this:

How to update Xcode with a new Apple ID?

I've recently changed apple ID and I've downloaded xCode on mac with another apple ID.
Not the mac store informs me there is a new version for xCode but I need to insert password of the older Apple ID, and I can't just use the new one. It seems the app is associated with the old apple ID.
I can't even download a new xCode using the new apple id, because it only gives me the option to update it with the old Apple ID.
To make the AppStore forget the old credentials with which the app was downloaded, you must remove the _MASReceipt directory in the app itself.
To do this:
Open Finder and navigate to Applications,
Ctrl+Click XCode and choose "Show Package Contents",
Expand the Contents directory and click _MASReceipt to select it,
Type Command+Delete to delete the directory permanently---you will be prompted for your credentials since this is a protected file.
Quit and restart AppStore, then find XCode. The button should now say "Free" or "Install" instead of "Update". Clicking it will update your XCode to the latest version as the currently logged-in Apple user.
Assuming you have the issue where you are getting the error
To update this application, sign in to the account you used to
purchase it.
on the App Store app, go to Store --> Sign Out
and then do the stuff suggested here
check this fix from Beartech at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2794280?start=15&tstart=0
The App Store used Spotlight in some way. My fix was to add the entire
HD to the "Privacy" tab in the Spotlight System prefs pane, close the
prefs and wait 30 seconds, re-open and remove your HD from the Privacy
tab. Spolight begins reindexing. Re-opened the App Store and problem
was fixed! Posting this here for others who might search later on.
Also filed a bug report with Apple.
hope this fixes the issue for you!
edit: I think this is a different issue compared to what I had. Your only option is probbaly to delete xcode, and download with your new Apple ID
To add an Apple ID account

At the top of the window, click Accounts.
In the lower-left corner, click the Add button (+) .

In the dialog that appears, enter your Apple ID and password, and
click Sign In.
To remove an Apple ID account

Follow link for source and detailed information.
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/ManagingAccounts/ManagingAccounts.html
open a folder
Finder-> Go -> Applications
then find Xcode in the folder.
Right click on the Xcode. -> Get Info
at the bottom, there is Sharing & Permissions, open it, click on the lock icon on the right corner.
make Read & Write for everyone in the list.
then wait 5-10 seconds. just try update Xcode again. it will start to updating...
As NSPostWhenIdle said: "Delete Xcode, and reinstall it using the new Apple ID."
For XCode 5
Xcode menu > Preferences > Accounts
At the bottom left, click the +
Click on Add Apple ID.
I had a somewhat similar issue. My AppleId was changed- the username - from "ab***" to "ab***#gmail.com". The new format requires an email address, and my AppleId dates back many years. I suddenly couldn't export anything from Xcode. How I fixed it:
Preferences/Accounts
Delete old AppleId
Add new AppleId.
Apple seemed to sort itself out on the backend and the only issue was Xcode hanging around to old references to defunct and/or bad usernames (to the same keyed account. Go figure.)
If you restore your device to 13.3.0 will fix your problem, it worked for me

Xcode 4.3.2: "No identities were available" - Where to request a Dev Identity?

Hey I have a problem with the validation and upload of apps to the app store with the new version of Xcode (4.3.2)
I installed the new version and now can not longer submit and validate apps.
I only see the following screenshot:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/mTpvT.jpg
Can someone tell me WHERE in the dev center ore in iTunes connect I can request an identity?
THX a lot
Laurenz from Germany
The same thing happened to me. This is how I fixed it:
Login to the iOS dev center
Click "iOS Provisioning Portal" on the right
Click "Provisioning" on the left
Click "Distribution" tab at the top
(You should see your distribution profile. If there is nothing there, then you have a problem and will need to create one.)
Click download next to the profile
Open the downloaded file with Xcode.
You're done!
