i repeatedly am getting this message for 1 account when trying to upload to the app store from xcode

i tried to delete the account and re-login, and tried xcode7.3 and xcode8

i am able to log in to developer.apple.com and itunesconnect.apple.com with this account

and i am able to log in to xcode with a different account

the account seems up to date (contracts accepted, etc)

any one have any clues as to what is going on?

Two-Factor Authentication worked! Sorry, neglected to restart xCode after switching authentication.

Onced I signed in again at the "session expired" prompt after restart, all is good!

I had this problem as well. Set up the two-factor authentication and I'm able to sign in to Xcode account now. Thanks for your discovery. Unfortunately Apple is not very supportive.

So i set up TF-A so the nag screen about my session expired would go away. Rebooted, and now I can't log into my mackbook pro. It's my company's mac where I use my domain account to log in... now that password no longer works.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Two-Factor Authentication now is required?

I am now able to access all functions in XCode without having to use Two-Factor Authentication.

I have the same issue on Big Sur (Xcode from App Store) running on the new Developer Transition Kit, which means I'm stuck before even starting to port my app.

@c1sc0 you can use Xcode 12 to either port your app or to re-setup the signing. I've found out that the issue is related to Xcode 11 on Big Sur but it works fine in Xcode 12 :)

The following steps works for me! 1.open "key chain" app 2.select login and search "xcode" 3.delete "com.apple.gs.xcode.auth.com.apple.account.AppleIDAuthentication.token" then login success!

Wish that can help you all.

I had this happen ... for me it turned out that I was signed into the MAC using a different Apple ID. In Xcode I was unable to sign in using either ID, and when I tried I got the "session expired" message.

I signed OUT of the MAC ... so no Apple ID signed into the Mac. I was able to delete the Apple ID and sign in to XCODE then I was able to sign in to the Mac again (using the different Apple ID)

try the Transporter mac app (avail on mac app store i think) for uploading binaries to app store. seems much more stable and faster than direct xcode upload. only allows 1 login at a time but, meh, good enough.
