Add your account to Xcode

When you add an Apple ID to Xcode Accounts preferences, Xcode displays all about your development team and development program. Xcode will also show you what role you play in the team and about your signature identity and profile, and we'll create them later

About accounts and teams

The Apple developer program offers everything you could about publishing apps. After you join the developer program, you can use the app service on a specific platform to submit your app to the App Store. You can also access more tools such as the Member Center, ITunes Connect. Manage your organization and your app.

Use your Apple ID to join the developer program. You create and join a team. You can also join as an individual or a company. The person who created the team will become a team broker, he is a legal contact and team manager, with all the privileges and full access to the Member Center and itunes Connect

With the Membership center, Team brokers can add other people to the team and assign roles and permissions to the company.

Add your Apple ID to Xcode

After joining the developer program, you can add your Apple ID to Xcode's accounts preferences in the following steps:

1. Select Xcode >preferences

2. At the top of the window, click Accounts

3. In the lower left corner, click the (+) button

4. In the pop-up menu, select the Apple ID you added

5. In the popup dialog box, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Add

Verify your Account

Xcode uses your Apple ID certificate on your behalf to sign in to the Membership center and itunes Connect. Occasionally, you'll need to log in to the Member Center and itunes Connect to perform the task yourself. Before you continue, you'll verify Xcode and the tools you need to access

You can view the details of your account in Accounts preferences, and when you have successfully signed in,

1. Click Xcode > Preferences, then click Accounts at the top

For example, you will see that the right side of the iOS tab shows a join under Agent,mac, which indicates that you have joined the iOS development program but did not join the MAC development program.

2. You can click View Details to view your team's information, and in the dialog box that appears, review your signature ID and profile. Xcode displays the identity of the signature in your keychain. If this is the first time you signed the application, the signed identity or configuration file will not appear in these tables.

3. We click Done to close it.

Identification of the certificate of the Member Center

1. Open the browser and go to the Apple Developer website.

2. In the bottom right corner of the website, we click Cets,ids&profiles under Member Center to enter the member center.

And then we came to this page

3. We can view assets by clicking Certificates, Identifiers, Devices, or Provisioning profiles

You view the certificate and configuration file in the Member Center and should appear in Xcode consistent. If your membership is new, you'll see the Getting Started page instead.

Verify the itunes Connect certificate

Once you join the developer program, you must visit itunes Connect where you enter metadata about your organization and your app, including some app service information, which should be in-app purchase and Game Center. If you are a team broker or a person who joins the developer program, you can automatically access itunes Connect. If you are a team manager or a team member, you cannot access itunes connect unless the team broker created an itunes connect account for you.

You can open the Apple Developer website and click on the member Center to find itunes Connect

We already know how to add an Apple ID to Xcode and add a developer. You also know how to sign in to the Membership center and itunes Connect. Next, you'll learn how to create a signature identity and team configuration
