App Packaging: Error: HTTP status code: 403

Coming from Windows, I'm finding Mac app packaging farcically complicated, to the level of a Python sketch.

I mastered Windows packaging, via Inno, in an hour or so, but it has taken me, on and off, the best part of a week to get to the point I am at with the Mac OS, and I'm nowhere near finished (rather, it hasn't finished with me).

Every time I surmount one hurdle, another pops up, seemingly just for the jollies.

I'm currently stuck at:

'Error: HTTP status code: 403. A required agreement is missing or has expired. This request requires an in-effect agreement that has not been signed or has expired. Ensure your team has signed the necessary legal agreements and that they are not expired.'

My account lists no agreements in this category.

I understand the need for security, but not the labyrinthine nature of the process.

An inner-party member in the former Soviet Union overheard a drunken Stalin say, “I trust no one; not even myself".

Apple trusts no one, but has true contempt for developers.

Is there a simple way to work through the packaging process?

Let me rephrase that: please God, let there be a simpler way of working through the process!

Regards, in extremis,

Richard
