Account temporarily unavailable due to bad or missing auth token

Question

I got this message "Account temporarily unavailable due to bad or missing auth token" when I try to save to privateDatabase in CloudKit, using the CKDatabase.save(record:completionHandler).

It looks like the error that was posted about here on stackoverflow has reappeared.

The fix for that other problem was a bug in Apple's side.

Anyone have this problem recently and have a solution?

Answer 1

I was getting this repeatedly all of a sudden on an account that had worked fine before. Shutting things down and restarting didn't help.

This is xcode 13.3.1 using a simulator.

I went to the simulator menu: "Device" => "Erase all content and settings". I then logged in again via settings on the simulator. And then it was fine.

Answer 2

You might find it strange, When I got this error,

1. I went to settings, I did it in Simulator
2. Profile Section
3. Entered password.

After this, When I called the iCloud API again, It worked.
