Xcode: Signing says "No accounts found", but Accounts says it exists

I am a Windows user trying to sign an iOS app - first for testing, later on I will have to sign for release into the app store. As always, I am stuck somewhere.

What I try: I open the *.xcodeproj file in Xcode, go to General -> Signing, and it tells me

No accounts found
Add a developer account to sign your app
[ Add account... ]

So I click on the button, and it opens the "Accounts" window, and opens the dialog

Sign in to Xcode with your Apple ID
Sign in to Xcode with your Apple ID. Don't have an Apple ID? You can create one for free.
Apple ID Password (forgot Password)
[______] [______]
[ Create Apple ID ] [ Cancel ] [ Sign In ]

In the window behind it, an Apple ID is already visible. My Apple ID.

But of course I can enter it again. Or not, ouch:

Account already exists.
This account has already been added
[ OK ]

Also, I cannot drag the account from the accounts window into the signing window, let alone use the context menu.

How can I get that already added account into "Signing"?

If you are getting: "there are no accounts registered with xcode. add your developer account" then you you can go to you can go to Xcode -> preferences -> Accounts then add your account with the + sign.

I had the same issue. These steps helped for me:

  • On choose "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles"
  • In Identifiers group on left side choose "App IDs"
  • Add App ID with bundle ID matching the one from project's Bundle Identifier

After that I also restarted Xcode. Now I can choose the team as it should be.

I also had this issue, and the fix was simply to restart Xcode.
