"Authentication service is unavailable."

Urgent Assistance Needed: Issue Logging into Apple Developer Enterprise Account via Visual Studio 2022 - "Authentication service is unavailable."

Dear Apple Support Team,

I am encountering an issue while attempting to log into my Apple Developer Enterprise account through Visual Studio 2022. The process consistently fails with the error message: "Authentication service is unavailable."

Here are the steps I followed:

  1. Open Visual Studio 2022.
  2. Navigate to Tools -> Options -> Apple Developer Account -> Add Account -> Select Enterprise Account.
  3. Attempt to log in using my Apple Developer ID and password.

Despite multiple attempts, I continue to face the error: "Authentication service is unavailable."

This issue occurs on both Windows and Mac environments, with the same results. However, I am able to log into my Apple Developer account via the browser, and the Apple service status portal shows no outages.

As this issue is impacting our ability to deliver to our customers, I kindly request your prompt assistance in resolving this matter.

Thank you in advance for your help. I look forward to your quick response.

Best regards,

KanTime Dev Team

I am having exactly the same issue, too

Did you resolve it yet?

+1 on this issue. It is affecting me and my team as well.

Looks like there are some other threads reporting the same issue

Global issue

Same issue. I thought it was because I am a newbie to Apple development. I thought, since I could log on to my apple dev account that it must be a problem with certificates, but, this post indicates it is an underlying problem.

The problem has been on and off for me too the last three weeks. VS 2022 newest update.

Very problematic

Same problem here.

Is there any fix for that?

This is a problem for us as well.

Same here, we can't deliver to our customers

Same... How fix this?
