Altstore: Select account when multiple organisations exists

Created on 26 Sep 2019  路  6Comments  路  Source: rileytestut/AltStore

It looks like when you Apple Developer account is linked to multiple orgs it just picks the first in the list without the ability to select which one you would like to use.

I would like to be able to select my own organisation instead of organisations I was given access to as a external developer to prevent doing things in their developer org.

I also noticed it too ... It would be very useful

Technically, I explicitly default to choosing the first free developer team when given a choice between free and paid teams (since I didn鈥檛 want people to accidentally mess with their developer account). However from all the feedback I鈥檝e received I agree this is confusing. For reference, here鈥檚 where that decision happens in AltStore: https://github.com/rileytestut/AltStore/blob/6f7d230895e1165f72e19f8dc6c0ec28697e1518/AltStore/Operations/AuthenticationOperation.swift#L260

I鈥檓 thinking the default should be changed back to using paid developer account as a short term solution, then build out a UI for choosing your team as a longer term solution. Thoughts?

I think going for the first free or personal account is not even a bad idea, this will prevent a lot of issues for most people so IMHO that is a great default.

However in my case there are just 2 paid business teams (if it's smart to use that account we'll see later) so it defaulted to the first in the list which happens to be not mine but one I was invited too 馃槃

I am not sure if that can be detected if you are invited to the team or it's yours but that also would be fine in my case (2 paid business teams) where it defaults to the business team which the account is the "owner"? of (there should be no personal team in my case).

So the short term solution you propose would do nothing for me but is probably a good idea to implement anyway, however shouldn't that already be the case?

A selector in the long term is of course preferred since whatever default you come up with is probably not what a group of people want (you can't please them all with defaults) 馃槈

I鈥檓 a member of a paid Organization but have Free for my own. Because I cannot choose and it defaults to Free, this means I鈥檓 limited to 3 app activations, which in turns means along with AltStore itself I can only install 2 apps (Clips counting as two, with its extension).

Is there any way to Force select my paid Org Apple Developer membership Over my personal free one yet?

Bumping this, having the same issue as @unitof
A team picker like one in Cydia Impactor would be cool

Any progress on this?
