I'm the Account Holder and I've been stuck for over a month. In App Store Connect → Business → Paid Applications Agreement, I tick "I have read and agree" and click Agree — the page just reloads, no confirmation, status never goes Active. Because of that, my app gets rejected and my In-App Purchases are returned. In the Network tab, the submit request comes back 401 Unauthorized. Already tried (no effect):

  • Signing from both the Business tab and the Agreements page
  • Safari, Chrome, Firefox — private windows, no extensions, no VPN, cookies/cache cleared
  • Re-saved my legal address; Tax and Banking sections are complete
  • Confirmed I'm the Account Holder

Developer Support hasn't resolved it. Has anyone hit this exact 401 on agreement signing — and what actually fixed it? A backend reset from Apple, some account/role detail, or did it just clear on its own after a while?
