I have an account on Gmail. I have implemented login with google service on a project.
Now the Question is, What method is the optimal or the best practice which is followed regarding the account?
There are two ways:
I make an account with normal email and password sign up.
Login with Google
What if I use the same email and get registered with two different accounts on the project or there should be error saying "the account is already exists with this email"??
So lets see if i follow you.
You have a system which has two login options.
Create new user register with your email
Login with your googel account.
In the event a user uses their gmail email address and trys to login with the ir google account your getting an error that the email already exists.
The issue being that both system are trying to create a new user. This is where the issue is. Your system should be checking if the email exits if it does then link the accounts sources rather then creating a new user. SO the user would have to login sources one for normal login and password and the other as an external source being google.
How you achieve this depends upon your system.
Chat conversion not become visible after I changed my QuickBlox account. Before developer has setup chatting for my iOS application with his personal QuickBlox account so I require to switch it with my company QuickBlox account and later on I can do purchase of plans without any barrier.
After this change actual send messages didn't become visible on both side devices before this was working properly after my account change it get stopped in working. I was getting few errors on log related to this so please check:
Though multiple users get created in account so definitely connection with QuickBlox has been establish as per my thinking but message passing not working.
In chatting view, I have sent many messages but nothing appear on screen, remain as it is blank.
After spending 2 days with this problem, I found solution for this problem. Posting here as an answer so that other users will not consume more time for this problem.
At QuickBlox dashboard, you have to enable retrieve users list permission so that other user can get list of others information. By default this flag set to disable so you have to enable it. Here is screenshot for the same:
I have an app in sandbox mode and I have a sandbox user that is pending. (It has also been at least a day since the user was added). The user can successfully use my app and has given authorization; however, the user's likes returns an empty response (I know they can only access liked media from other authorized sandbox users, but the user has liked media from my account that is set as the admin). The Instagram API documentation states that the user may go to their developer site and accept/decline sandbox invites from the Sandbox Invites tab except my user is shown the developer register page instead. Does anyone know what is going on/how to fix this?
Instagram made sweeping changes to it's API and the way it is accessed recently. As a result of the lockdown the Sandbox Invite process is glitchy at best. I myself just ran into this issue of invites not showing up.
It seems, for the moment, the only way to access the invite is to fill out the developer form(I just used a http://localhost:8000 URL and a random phone number that is not likely to exist, although try without one as it might not be necessary). That should automatically forward you to the invite page where the invited user can then accept or decline a Sandbox Invite.
It's a bit of a mess and the lack of documentation / indication to indicate that this step is mandatory doesn't help matters. Hope this helps save some time and headaches!
I am working on an app in iTunes connect for a client, under their iTunes connect account. I want to add myself as a user so that I can get email notifications of updates in app status. When I try to add myself as a user I get the following message:
The email address you entered already belongs to an iTunes Connect account. To continue, enter a different email address
I am using this email address on my own company's iTunes connect account, but not on my client's account. How can I add myself as a user?
#sarnold Turning your comment into an answer because it worked for me.
Two Separate Websites
Apparently for historical and organizational reasons, Apple operates their developer and app store business in a bifurcated manner.
developer.apple.com
The web site for all the technical resources, including documentation, WWDC videos and such.
itunesconnect.apple.com
This completely separate web site handles the business end:
Contracts, banking, payments.
Uploading your finished app.
Defining your In-App Purchase products.
Problem: Different Handling Of Accounts
The developer.apple.com site is slick in that a programmer can have a single Apple ID used to join multiple developer accounts. She may work for three different companies, and be assigned a role on each of those companies’ Developer accounts all on the same Apple ID. When she logs in to the Developer site, she is presented with a popup menu asking which of the three companies’ Developer accounts she wants to access during this work session. Nice.
The problem: in iTunesConnect, not so nice. In iTunesConnect, the "admin" person cannot assign existing Apple IDs as members with a role. Very strange. The admin is forced to create a new ID for each person being adding to the team. That means the person joining must have multiple email address. If an admin tries to add you to their iTunesConnect with an email address already used on some other company's iTunesAccount, an error message reports that email address / Apple ID is already in use. Obviously the programming team running the iTunesConnect site could use some help from the Developer site's team. ☹
Workaround: Email Address Trick
The workaround cited by sarnold involves a feature of email addresses. The spec for email servers has a feature where you can extend your email address. You can add a suffix to the first part of your email name by appending a "+" PLUS SIGN. From what I could figure out, the email software first looks for the extended name. If no such name is found, it drops the extension and looks again. If found, the shorter version of the email address is actually used.
So if the programmer Susan wants to use her email address susan#example.com for a second or third iTunesAccount, she tells her client's admin person at Acme Corporation to use something like this as her email address: susan+acme.com#example.com. Apple will still create a needless extra Apple ID for Susan, but at least Susan does not have to bother with creating and accessing extra email accounts. The emails sent by Apple will arrive at her susan#example.com address.
Susan double-checked this would work before talking to the admin person. She sent herself an email to susan+acme.com#example.com to make sure it arrived at the susan#example.com account.
Effectively, the email servers are not fooled by the extended email address, but iTunesConnect is fooled into creating an new Apple ID using an old email account.
Basically, you can't invite other iOS devs to review your efforts seems to be the result of this policy.
I had (and have) the exact same problem... what makes me kinda like FlavorScape's suggestion ;)
What I did is something similar to sarnold's comment: I used an alternative email address (_#gmail.com instead of _#googlemail.com) and this actually created a new AppleID with this email address.
It works fine, but it would be so much better to just connect my actual Developer account to my client's.
The way it's like at the moment, I can not even access the developer resources and (most importantly) the provisioning center with the new Apple ID, so my client has to do create new provisioning profiles and stuff, which is pretty frustrating and complicated.
Additionally, it is a pain to let him test the Apps on his own devices, because of the developer certificate is installed on my Mac, not his, and I am therefore the only one (or better, my Mac is the only computer) that can install new provisioning profiles on his devices.
Is there a better way to connect the accounts and solve these problems?
Cheers,
Nils
Apple now will allow the same email address to be invited to multiple itunes connect accounts and no longer allows new emails to be added with the +. Just a word of warning to others who were doing this the original post is now out of date with Apples new policy it seems.
#knl: The problem in the original question is specifically with iTunes Connect. If you want to be able to manage the Provisioning center -- to make profiles etc -- ask your client to add you to that account. Here are the steps:
Go to "Member Center"
Select the "People" tab
Click on invitations
Select "Invite person"
in the next screen they can select your role including "Member" (limited access) and "Admin" (full access)
From apple documentation:
You can only create test user accounts using an iTunes Connect
accounts with the Admin or Technical role assigned to it. Test users
do not have access to iTunes Connect, but will be able to test in-app
purchases in a development environment on a registered test device.

I'm working on In-App purchases to my iPad app. I am able to receive the productsRequest:didReceiveResponse method, and receive the array of products.
My problem arises when I add a SKPayment to the SKPaymentQueue. After I add the product to the queue, in the paymentQueue:updatedTransactions method the transactions always have the state SKPaymentTransactionStateFailed.
I NSLog the transaction.error and this is what it returns:
Error Domain=SKErrorDomain Code=0 "Cannot connect to iTunes Store"
UserInfo=0x339120 {NSLocalizedDescription=Cannot connect to iTunes
Store}.
And also i am not able to add any new test user in Manage User.
Any solution is most welcome.
Thanks
This problem may also occur if your app is in Sandbox and your AppStore account isn't valid for Sandbox environment. In my case I was logged into AppStore with my private account and each time I tried to make purchase I got the same error as you.
So solution is:
log out from your AppStore account (from Settings)
go to your app and try to make purchase
when app asks you for Apple ID choose "Use Existing Apple ID" and login with your Sandbox account
In addition to the above answers, make sure you run on a device and not on the simulator. That solved the issue for me.
