Answer 1

As has already been stated by two of the other answers here, note that an iTunes Connect account is different to an Apple Developer Account. You need to create both. Although the Apple Developer documentation states that you will need to upload to iTunes Connect, it does not explicitly state that you need to register for iTunes Connect separately.

This is not obvious when attempting to Upload / Validate / Export an application through Xcode, as this is the first step at which you will need an iTunes Connect account. On top of this, the error message shown when you don't have an iTunes Connect account gives a link entitled Add account, though this link simply takes you back to the Xcode -> Preferences -> Account tab (which doesn't actually allow you to create an iTunes Connect account).

I tried visiting iTunes Connect to create an account, though that page told me that I needed to create an account before being able to access iTunes Connect. Considering I was an admin on a team, I thought I would have permission to do this. However, the critical step that I was missing was buried deep inside the iTunes Connect help:

Initially, only the team agent (the person who joins the Apple Developer Program) can sign in to iTunes Connect and perform these steps. [...] If you are the team agent, use the Apple ID you used to join the Apple Developer Program and add other users to your iTunes Connect organization.

Getting the team agent to add me to iTunes Connect (as is described here) solved the problem for me; I can now successfully upload, validate and export applications through Xcode.

Hopefully this helps someone else who also didn't realise this!

In my case internet was slow, so the problem was occurring. I changed network of my mac, the problem got solved.

Answer 3

For the time being I am submitting the exported app with Application Loader that seems to be friendlier. When Apple makes up her mind and also fix Xcode I shall take the shortcut.

Answer 4

I just restarted my mac and its working fine

Answer 5

Let me tell you what worked for me. I was getting the same issue.

Later I figured out that I was using OpenDNS to control my network and when I disabled the OpenDNS it works just fine and the issue got solved.

So, people looking for solution check whether you have firewalls. Keep it as one of your check lists.

Correct me if I am wrong.

P.S. I also tried the above given solutions but nothing worked for me until I disabled the firewall.

Remove the Apple ID you're experiencing issues with from your Accounts list. Then, add the Apple ID back to the Accounts list.
