"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: Open Visual Studio 2022. Navigate to Tools -> Options -> Apple Developer Account -> Add Account -> Select Enterprise Account. 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 Windows Machine Mac Machine

Tips on writing forums posts
Thanks so much for contributing to Apple Developer Forums. We'd love to help you get an answer, but we need a little bit more information from you first. Here's some tips on what to add to your post in order to help us help you. Provide context to your post Did you provide enough context of when and how this issue is occurring? Things like platform and Xcode version and language can go a long way. Posting items like the version can also help you to remember to test on the latest software. If it's a bug that you're noticing, it may have been fixed in a recent update. Avoid stating that you're using the "current version" since these change quickly. Example to improve on: Current iOS, Swift Better example: iOS 17.5, Swift (UIKit) Best example: iOS 12 - iOS 17.5, Swift (UIKit), Xcode 15.4 Specific questions to answer: What platform are you targeting? And what version of that platform? What version of Xcode are you using? What version of the OS are you testing on? Add test code Check that it's as easy as possible for someone to reproduce your issue. If you've asked a question along the lines of: "Why isn't ##INSERT_ACTION_HERE## working?", test code can go a long way. If you're posting a link to a project, be sure that it's a newly created project created from one of Xcode's templates that's stripped down to the bare minimum amount of code and files needed to reproduce the issue. Remove any third-party dependencies to focus your project completely on Apple's APIs. See Creating a Test Project for more details. If you're posting a code snippet, make sure you've posted enough context so that someone helping you can copy the code into their own project without having to read between the lines on the rest of your project. Also, make use of the Code Block button, which inserts triple backquote delimiters, for code snippets or logs. Example of code block formatting. Give a thorough description Don't forget to add a detailed description to your post. If you only posted code, or have a minimal description, please add some details to describe your issue and, if applicable, steps needed to reproduce it and what you've tried. Specific questions to answer: What specific API are you using? What are the exact steps you took? If nothing failed, what results did you see? And what were you expecting? If you filed a bug, what was the bug number? What else have you tried? Describe any errors If you're seeing an error message, post the exact wording or a screenshot. If it results in a crash, attach the crash logs to your post. Specific questions to answer: If something failed, what are the symptoms of that failure? If an API returned an error, what was that error? Re-read the post Come back to your post as if you'd never seen it before. Pretend you're going to answer it and think about what it may be missing, even if it wasn't mentioned in the above list. Any of this information, the more the better, is helpful to someone reading your post for the first time. A detailed description goes a long way in getting more detailed answers. These tips should result in some more helpful answers from us and the developer community! Revision History 2024-05-29 Initial version.

Upvoting own post dilemma.
Users can upvote their own posts, yet they don't by default upon posting them. Reddit, for comparison, continues to allow users to remove their own-post upvotes, but upvotes them for the user by default. Other forums like Stack Overflow disallow own-post upvoting. This forum has the worst of both worlds, for users can gain an algorithmic advantage by upvoting their own. It might seem like a minor issue, because it is. But it's an issue in my eyes regardless.

Inconsistencies between mail notification from forum and forum content
Is it only me ? I received recently a notification that an answer was "recommended by Apple", with a link to the post. But when going to the post, this recommendation (with small Apple icon) do not show. And the forum scores are not updated. This is not the first time I get problems with forum notifications. I filed a bug report: FB14172207

"Sensitive language" errors
I'm trying to ask a (presumably) straight-forward question regarding some of the new features that were announced at WWDC. However, the website won't let me post, claiming my question "contains sensitive language", and asks me to revise it. Is it ok to ask questions about new features announced at WWDC or is this off limits? Is anybody else experiencing something like this? I'm confused about what could be wrong with my message.
