xcode your session has expired

Hi everyone,

Since few time, i have a trouble with my apple id account.

I can't log in Xcode with my apple id. When i go to XCode > Preferences > Account, i have "Your session has expired. Please log in" error under my apple id.

But when i click on "Sign in again" i have got the following error message : "Your session has expired. Please log in."

So, i have removed my apple id from xcode but when i try to re-add it i have got the same message again...

On other hand, connecting to Appstore, developer portal, itunes connect and https://appleid.apple.com still working but not with XCode ?!

Any idea ?

Thank you very much,

ps : I work on Mac OSX El Capitan, XCode 7.3.1

Not much to add. This inability to stay logged into my account is preventing me from using Ad Hoc Distribution which is preventing me from releasing a critical update to my users. This wasn't a problem for me 3 days ago and I haven't changed much of anything on my MacBook Pro to trigger the problem.

I finally found the solution !

Just turning on two factor authentication on your account.

1 - Go to system preference > iCloud > Account detail

2 - Open Security tabs

3 - turning on Two factor authentication

4 - follow the instructions (give a phone number)

5 - Fill the activation code you received by sms

6 - Try to login in your Xcode

It works for me

Sigh... I just turned on Rescue Email and now it won't allow me to turn on two factor auth for 3 days... Thanks for the update and I'll hopefully be able to find an alternative solution soon, or use yours in 3 days time
