Hi everyone,

We're experiencing a critical and persistent code signing failure (HTTP 403) after accepting the latest Apple Developer Agreement, blocking our application release.

Problem: Despite confirming the new Apple Developer Agreement is signed and active on the portal, code signing attempts return an HTTP 403 error, stating a "required agreement is missing or has expired."

Steps Taken:

  • Accepted new Apple Developer Agreement.
  • Verified active developer membership and valid certificates (good for years).
  • Cleared caches, restarted systems.
  • Confirmed Team ID, Apple ID, and provisioning profile validity.

Any help is greatly appreciated, its been stuck for more than 2 days now.

Code signing is usually a local operation, so it’s not clear how this is getting an HTTP server error. Where are you seeing this error? In Xcode? When running codesign directly?
