Support Logging in with Federated Apple ID
Describe the bug
-
Unable to download Xcode without authorization
-
Unable to log in with Federated Apple ID
Expected behavior
- Authorization can be done through Federated Authentication
or
- Xcode can be downloaded without authorization
Version
- macOS: 12.5.1 (21G83)
- Xcodes: 1.9.0
Currently facing the same issue. With a business-managed account we are not able to download new xcodes version since we can't authenticate. Any idea how to solve that ? thanks!
@dazigna @alteral Hi!
Currently we don't support logging in through Federated Authentication. I don't have any way to see how it works, as I'm not part of any federated organization.
Can you can easily create your own personal apple id instead?
Hi @MattKiazyk Thanks for the quick answer, This is what I ended up doing. Federated Authentication is some kind of Oauth but tbf I do not know how this works under the hood.
Hi @MattKiazyk, thanks for your suggestion, this is what I ended up doing too.
Isn't it possible to allow downloading xcodes without authorisation?
@alteral that is correct at the moment. There was a brief moment this past year where we could get a token that allowed downloading without logging in, however Apple returns 403 forbidden now on those calls.
I would love to have a way to not log in, or at least use an App-Specific password, but I haven't figured out how yet.
You can also download using http://xcodereleases.com instead of apple via the XcodesApp
@Mcrich23 I'm getting the same error message that tells me I need to log in with my Apple ID regardless of whether I have xcodereleases.com or Apple selected as my Downloads data source, so unfortunately that doesn't seem to resolve the Federated Apple ID issue.
