Description

Users from larger organizations who have enrolled in Federated Authentication are unable to log in to Xcodes using their Apple IDs. This issue primarily affects users whose Apple IDs are managed under their company's Business Manager, requiring authentication through an identity provider.

Users with Apple IDs under Federated Authentication cannot log in to Xcodes. They receive the error message:

unexpectedSignInResponse(statusCode: 403, message: Optional("-22320: Federated Authentication is required."))

The implementation of a Federated Authentication flow is essential for users who rely on corporate-managed Apple IDs.

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Start by locating Xcodes' existing Apple ID sign-in flow and the handling for the reported 403 response, then determine the required identity-provider flow for managed Apple IDs. Done means users enrolled in Federated Authentication can log in successfully.
