Xcode Signing and Capabilities

The short answer here is that Xcode’s automatic code signing handles most code signing issues these days, and I generally recommend it for folks starting out.

If I choose automatic setup

Cool. That’s the best first step.

it shows an error saying that it requires a development team. I had the account admin add my Apple ID to the team so I'm not sure why that's an issue still.

Is this an Individual team? Or an Organization team?

The most common cause for problems like this is that the target team is an Individual team. This works for App Store Connect but not for the Apple Developer Program. See the note at the top of the Permissions in App Store Connect section of Developer > Program Roles.

If I am a member of someone's development team, what needs to be done so that I can build the app in Xcode in terms of signing/certificates/capabilities?

The process is different depending on whether it’s an Organization or Individual team:

• If it’s an Organization team, have the team Admin add you to the team as an Admin, App Manager, or Developer [1]. Then, the team should show up in Xcode > Settings > Accounts > YOUR_APPLE_ID > Team, and automatic signing works from there.

• If it’s an Individual team, the team owner can’t add you as a developer. The path forward is for them to convert their team to an Organization team. See Can I switch my membership from an individual to an organization? on Developer > Support > Account Management.

[1] Or Account Holder. See Developer > Support > Articles > Program Roles.

@benthedev24 Were you able to resolve this?

I currently have the role of an App Manager. I also mobile provisioning file and and distribution certificate with me. But the team does not appear on my Settings>Accounts. If I go back to the Signing and Capabilities Tab, disable automatic signing and then use the import to load up the .mobileprovision file, I still see that no team has been selected.

But I have no teams to select when I click on the dropdown. When I try to add the certificate, I see an alert that says "No account for team "<MY TEAM NAME>". When I go to App Store Connect I can see that I have the correct account. All my other development teams show up fine.

What am I doing wrong?

@DTS Engineer Would you be able to help me here?

I am getting a similiar area with the signing and capabilities. I am being told:

"Select a development team in the Signing & Capabilities editor.", but when I go into S&C tab, it says 'No App Product in Manifest' - any ideas? Thanks

Having this issue and all of the documentation seems to indicate that Individual accounts should behavior just like Organization accounts.

I have a friend who has an Individual account, who would like me to upload and submit a build for him. Is there no way to do this without him giving me access to his personal Apple account credentials? He's made me an Admin on his account?

all of the documentation seems to indicate that Individual accounts should behavior just like Organization accounts.

Not all the documentation. The doc I linked to above is pretty clear about this limitation.

Anyway, regarding your big picture issue, I’ve replied on the the thread you started for that.
