I am not new to this but I am unable to fix my signing identity from Xcode Version 6.2 (6C86e). When I click fix issue on the following message:

enter image description here

I get a pop up window saying:

"The selected team's agent, 'Name Surname' must agree to the latest ios Program License Agreement. Please visit the Member Center. https://developer.apple.com/membercenter"

I went on "https://developer.apple.com" and accepted the latest iOS Program agreement. This is what I can see on my legal agreements section:

enter image description here

However the message on Xcode keeps popping up.. I tried loggin in and out but it does not show me the legal agreement message anymore so I assume on their server side is accepted. I wonder if this is because iTunes connect is temporarily unavailable.

Any idea on how to fix this?

It's a propagation server issue. Wait approximately 10 minutes and it will be fixed.

    Apple may have more issues this time as they seem to have changed most of the license agreements due to the new membership program... – mm24 Jun 09 '15 at 22:03

    Super annoying... Apple, thank you once again for letting your lawyers waste 15 minutes of my time. Now that I've clicked "Accept" twice, I'm sure you're feeling that much safer from the multitude of lawsuits I was just about to file. – staxim Aug 03 '15 at 19:41
  • And I was thinking it was a server propagation issue all along... I know better now +1 – Jonny Aug 17 '15 at 02:04
  • Read olegiv's answer and skip the 10 min wait – ski_squaw Sep 13 '15 at 18:27
  • @staxim You've apparently never done a fresh moderately-complex DNS setup.  Nor set up by hand a series of servers and load balancers. Or… compiled a large C/C++/Obj-C project, for that matter. – Slipp D. Thompson Sep 30 '15 at 04:15

    @SlippD.Thompson My point is that Apple is letting their lawyers run amok. This is not a technical issue. The company is not achieving anything by forcing their developers (and user base) to accept updated terms of service every few weeks. I'm not asking them to improve their servers' data propagation time; I'm asking them to stop interrupting my work to do unnecessary things. The 10 minute wait was just the inconvenient icing on the cake that gave me a few minutes to exercise my God-given right to complain on Stack. – staxim Oct 02 '15 at 19:33
  • i only had to wait 5 mins. – Alex Spencer Oct 05 '15 at 05:25
  • Well it's hyper annoying. It is not enough, that as a paying customer I regularly forced to agree with changing everything, it is topped with this latency, and apple internal inconsistencies. – g.pickardou Oct 12 '15 at 15:53
  • Agreed. It's shocking that it's 2016, and Xcode and these Agreements are still so damn developer-unfriendly. – Mike Gledhill Feb 08 '16 at 08:23
  • I found an Xcode restart did the trick for me, however it could have just been this answer in disguise! Who knows... – ingh.am Oct 09 '16 at 22:51

For me to solve this problem I had to login to http://itunesconnect.apple.com. There was a yellow banner that kindof told me what to do. I had to go to Contracts, Tax, and Banking and setup the contracts there.

In my case the solution was:

  1. Xcode: Preferences / Accounts / View Details...;
  2. Click refresh (bottom left);
  3. "Certificate Not Found" box pops-up with

"Your Mac Development Certificate for “your name” was not found on the Member Center. Xcode can submit a certificate signing request on your behalf. Would you like Xcode to do so now?

  1. Click Request and tick all certificates in the next screen;
  2. 15 sec of waiting and the issue fixed.

    The only thing from all above that worked for me. (I waited at least 30 minutes thinking this is a propagation issue, but once I did this - it immediately started working) – YemSalat Sep 08 '15 at 07:35

    On the new Xcode7, they got rid of the refresh button. – JRam13 Sep 26 '15 at 20:04
  • This fixed it for me on XCode 6.2. I also thought it was a propagation issue. – cgenco Nov 30 '15 at 20:04

In my case none of the answers worked - olegiv's answer came close but given that in Xcode7 Apple has removed the refresh button, that wasn't an option either.

Instead, downloading all provisioning profiles again worked: Xcode -> Preferences -> Accounts -> View Details -> Download All

Struggled with this for a while, hope that helps.

    I thought this might work for me, but when I pressed the Download All button nothing happened. – Carl Smith Jan 08 '16 at 17:48
  • Same here. Xcode 7.1, I click on the "Download all" button, and absolutely nothing happens. (One day, if I work hard, I'll learn to program a developer environment as professional as this.. grrr...) – Mike Gledhill Feb 08 '16 at 08:35

What worked for me (after accepting the agreement) was removing my apple ID from the account list in Xcode and adding it back in.

  • Dumb question... where the heck are the Legal Agreements on the Apple Developer website ? I'm logged in as our company's Administrator, but don't see them anywhere. ;-( – Mike Gledhill Feb 08 '16 at 08:20
  • Your Account tab -> Legal Agreements – Guy Moreillon Feb 08 '16 at 12:08
  • Thanks. Strangely, this option didn't appear earlier, now it does... And even now, it just shows a set of links, nothing to suggest that it's waiting for us to sign-off an agreement, regardless of the message in Xcode. (Sigh.) – Mike Gledhill Feb 08 '16 at 12:52

I fixed the issue by running Xcode->Preferences->Accounts then selecting the agent and clicking the Create button for each of the Signing Identities
