Error Adding account to Visual Studio 2022

Hi, I am trying to debug a .NET MAUI App on an iPhone in Visual Studio 2022 on Windows. But to do this I need to add my Apple Developer Account to Visual Studio 2022.

When I try to do this, I get an error message saying:

Error adding account There was an error while trying to log in: Authentication service is unavailable.

When I give it a different user ID that is part of the same Apple Developer Account it gives the same error.

When I give an incorrect password, the same error appears.

I am experiencing the same issue. My issue started happening today. I was getting an error saying my provisioning profile wasnt available so I decided to remove the Apple Developer Account with the plan of adding it back right away. However, I am not able to add the account, I get the same error: There was an error while trying to log in: Authentication service is unavailable.

Same issue for us

I'm having this issue as well. I can't say when it started as I've been working on android for a bit, but tried debugging on an iPhone today and had this issue. Like one of the above posts, I tried removing and re-adding the apple account and keep getting the same error:

There was an error while trying to log in: Authentication service is unavailable.

Here is the Microsoft link reporting it.

Same Issue here. It seems to be an issue on Apple's side or Visual Studio. They need to patch it ASAP cuz we can't ship to production or code since they stopped support for Visual Studio Mac and the visual Code is a shit show to use.

We are having the exact same issue!

We are as well.

Critical issue for our team. Please fix

Same issue for us! Please, fix soon as possibile.

We are stuck!

Same issue on both Visual Studio for Mac and my Windows Visual Studio 2022.

Same issue here. Any timeline on getting this fixed?

Ditto - this needs to be fixed pronto

I am experiencing the same issue as well

Same here. Please fix!

Exact same issue. Authentication service failure on both mac and PC. Can sign into all my accounts on the web just fine.

Same issue here!!!!We have the same problem, we are blocked and this has a very high impact on our company, when will it be solved?

Same issue, can't publish...

I was able to use the workaround listed on this other post to successfully publish an update to my app.

Hopefully others will also be able to publish as well.

Same problem here. Been trying to find a solution for a couple of days now, without result.

The same issue.

Issue still persists and not resolved as of now.

Just to add to the pile-on, it's happening for us too. Was able to deploy to an iPhone until a couple of hours ago, then got the "could not find any available provisioning profiles" error. I suspect it's because of the "Authentication Service is unavailable error" that we're all talking about. Please help Apple! Can still use simulators but I need to deploy to a real device for certain things too.

Same here. It was working great for a few months, then someone changed the card number on our corporate account. Nothing worked AND no visible indication in the developer portal, THEN a few days later the portal said we needed to pay up. Did that, still didn't work and no indication in the portal. A few days after that portal said we needed to agree to something, did that, and it still doesn't work.

Been happening for us for about a week on WIndows PC. Tried all the "fixes" of deleting certs and profiles and account from VS and no luck :(

Same here.
