Description
Scenario:
- I have an apple account
- I did not yet accepted the terms & conditions
When I try to use CLI app I get an informative error message which helps me solve the problem:
While at the same time GUI XCodes app provides a very generic error message:
I think the GUI should reuse the error messages from the CLI version of the app.
Please consider adding a "Detailed logs..." option to the error dialog that would allow developers to quickly diagnose the issues.

Research direction
Start by comparing the CLI's informative terms-and-conditions error with the GUI Xcodes error dialog. Identify the GUI error handling and dialog entry points, then make the terms error actionable and add the requested detailed-logs option; done means developers can diagnose this case from the GUI.
