I'm working on an iOS app using CloudKit. I followed Apple's advice in the link below to test in the simulator with a newly created Apple id. This Apple id is working fine for logins in my browser. However when trying to use it in my simulator it keeps telling me the username/password is incorrect, which is really not true.
I tried the same with my developer apple ID and there it works fine. Afaik the settings regarding 2FA are the same. Resetting the simulator didn't solve it also.
Any ideas?
Did you run the simulator first, and log in to iCloud there before running that app?
In 2020 this problem probably has to do with all the jiggering of Provisioning Profiles (whatever they are) Apple has recently done but didn't inform anyone.
1) Go to developer account, sign in, and sign the new thing they want signed
2). then follow this....
To fix this, you need to transfer the Provisioning Profile's Certificate to YOUR own certificate. In developer.apple.com, login to your developer account. Then, in the Edit iOS Provisioning Profiles page in Certificates section, select the certificate you are using for your XCode. Then click Generate button.
then you'll still have problems, but will be farther along.

If by 'recently' you mean in the almost three years since this thread was touched, sure, recent. But hey, whatever works 😉
This is the correct answer. Accept the iCloud terms.
It's easy once you know…
Very important if you are using emulator: if you are not using the same keyboard layout on your laptop keyboard as on your emulator keyboard then special characters might be wrong!
Yes that's it! (And it is still that way in 2022, so 2 years later)
Apple should do better.
hell yeah
HUMANCENTiPAD South Park episode (season 15, episode 1)
I logged into my icloud from my desktop as well as the simulator but do not see any terms to accept. But still not able to login in simulator. When I give the wrong password it gives an error. but when I give the right password it keeps rotating indefinitely. Anyone else facing this issue?
This happens to me as well. With a correct password, the loader keeps spinning forever... Did you figure this out?
I am getting the same issue as well on my simulator as well. Please do update if this is solved.
Same thing happening to me
Same issue for me, spinner keep on the screen
After 4 years, still nothing with 15.2 and XCode 13.
Get the same issue - did the Icloud login and just see the spinner. So stupid
For me, this issue was solved by using iOS 13.0 (download iPhone 8 simulator from XCode)
After 2 days of research i have tried the @Carsak's answer that fixes the problem but only on simulator iOS 13 like @i_mattos1's answer
This post and the comment from MahadevsEmpire resolved this issue for me.
I had no luck with solving this issue. Tried everything - different XCodes, simulators, signing in multiple times etc. In the end, it only started working when I used iOS 17.2 and was logged in in Settings
