iTunes store operation failed: You are not authoried to use this service

ios, itunes-store, xcode

Solution

I had this issue today and I believe it is due to an iTunes Connect outage as I was also unable to log into iTC via the web.

You can check the service status of Apple's Developer Services on Apple's website.

You can also do a quick search on Twitter to discover any other users who are having login issues with iTunes Connect.

Problem

I successfully submitted my app a few days ago and waited for a review, however I found a bug in my app later, therefore I rejected the submission and fixed it. But when I try to validate the app, Xcode shows me an error: iTunes store operation failed: You are not authorized to use this service. I also tried submit and export options, it shows the same error. I googled it, someone else also met this error and posted it in stackoverflow, then tried the solution: re-login -> quit Xcode -> open Xcode -> clean -> archive -> validate it didn't work. FYI: Xcode 6.1.1 The code signing identity in target's building settings is `iOS Distribution` as well as the one in project's building setting.
