Active Membership but Xcode shows "Red X" at Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles

Hi everyone,

I am struggling with a persistent issue regarding my Developer Program membership and Xcode syncing. Even though the Apple Developer Portal shows that my developer license is active and I have full access to App Store Connect, it is unfortunately not possible to sign applications with this account. It behaves as if the license wasn't active.

The Symptoms:

-Portal status: Active (Account Holder/Admin),

-Xcode Settings: When I navigate to Settings > Accounts and select my team, there is a Red X displayed next to "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles.",

Xcode suggests there is an issue accessing these resources and I cannot sign any binaries. Confirmed the membership is active in the web portal. Everything seems configured correctly on the web side, but the account simply doesn't work locally in Xcode.

Has anyone faced this specific "Red X" issue despite a valid membership? Is there a specific cache I need to clear or a way to force Xcode to re-fetch the correct status?

Any advice on how to resolve this loop would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :)

Thanks for the post.

Can you provide a screenshot? I think many developers may provide ideas.

Do you see an error message in the log? I would double-check that you are signed into Xcode with the exact Apple ID that holds your Developer Program membership and confirm that your account has the appropriate roles so you are an admin? Member?

What happens if you in Xcode, go to , select your team, and click the "-" button to remove it. Quit Xcode completely and reopen it. Another way is to add your Apple ID again by clicking the "+" button and following the prompts. Maybe your provisioning profiles are expired? Within the Apple Developer Portal, navigate to Certificates and revoke any existing ones. Xcode will prompt to create new ones when attempting to sign code.

What version of Xcode and macOS are you running? In macOS updates and update Xcode to the latest version available via the Mac App Store. Sometimes bugs addressed in updates can resolve such issues.

If you have screenshots and logs will help me understand better the problem or other developers will see it and tell you what the issue is?
