App Store Connect Errors

App Store Connect gives out weird errors when you try to update your address. Common errors are

• This address is invalid. Update the address and resubmit.
• The address entered has been modified, please verify the changes and resubmit

I put literally the same address as in my developer account and App Store Connect Legal Entities section. Letter by letter same information. But no, it just doesn’t accept. I have spent an hour trying everything I have found online but nothing helped. Finally, I looked at the traffic, between the browser and App Store Connect, and fixed the issue.

Here is the solution.

• Use any proxy, Charles, Proxyman
• Try to update your address on Banking Section and get the stupid error messages.
• Look at the JSON payload you will see something like below

{
    "accountHolderAddress": {
        "sameAddressRetryCount": 0,
}

• Edit that JSON and increase the retryCount to 10 or something.
• Send the request again
• Voila. Backend is happy now.

I really don’t understand how that kind of bug can exist in App Store Connect. When it says This address is invalid WTF does it mean? This is my address which is accepted by Apple 2 times. I live there. Did they design to not accept certain characters?

Ok, you decided to change some characters and now it says The address entered has been modified, please verify the changes and resubmit I tried to submit 10 times! It just doesn’t work! Does Apple want us to solve these issues by ourselves since we are developers? I am fucking frustrated!
