Altstore: Altstore using wrong apple id and name

[CosmicGunners]

I installed the altstore no problem but whenever i put in my apple account it shows me an older email and name my account had years ago instead of my current one,

The error code thats displayed is:-20101
My device is an Iphone xs, IOS:13.4.5 (Beta 1)

exact same issue - it's showing an older email that has since been removed from my apple account.

worked to set up 2 apps yesterday but now shows the same error as you if i try to add another app or refresh an app.

ipad pro 2020 13.4.1

developer account seems to be fine at developer.apple.com - and there's no reference to the old email that altstore is suddenly pulling anywhere on my profile

I am having the same issue. Has anyone found a fix?

I'm having the same issue as well, unfortunately without any progress made. However, I did make an observation that may possibly lead to something but this is merely speculation at this point.

I only today installed and signed into AltStore for the first time ever. After I realized what was happening (the aforementioned issue), I realized that the old, incorrect email was the same email that was listed under my contact card in my phone as my "home" email address. I still use both the older and newer email addresses regularly, but I switched my Apple ID to the newer one years ago.

Because of this, the "Predictive" keyboard feature suggested my home email address (the older email account) when entering my login information in the app. I've since then changed my contact card information and reinstalled the app but to no avail.

Again, this is only speculation of what may be going on and I doubt it'll lead to anywhere useful, but hopefully this can help influence someone who is better at computers than I am to look into this problem more.

Exact same thing is happening to me. Hoping a fix can come along. Can't refresh without a fix.

I don't recall if I had to do any other steps, but this was resolved for me after uninstalling altstore and the sideloaded apps, and starting over. haven't had an issue with it again for about a month. good luck to you guys.

I found a quick and dirty fix to our problem.

While in the Altstore app, first log out of your account under the Settings tab, then go to add or resign an app under the My Apps tab. It'll then ask you for your login credentials. Logging in to your account this way instead of logging in under the settings tab should work once. This process has to be done once per app you sign using the Altstore app.

I hope this helps some of you!

Just tried your dirty trick and it worked!! Thanks

[rexbarrett]

This worked for me too! Thanks so much.

Same problem, so annoying to be honest.
This bug doesn’t make any sense.

[cpiekacz]

Plus one. Please fix it.

[sethpaschal]

Plus one please fix this. Same problem with altstore alpha and altdameon.
Im really surprised this has been going on so long.
