iTunes connect will not let me add myself as a user

Question

I am working on an app in iTunes connect for a client, under their iTunes connect account. I want to add myself as a user so that I can get email notifications of updates in

Answer 1

I had (and have) the exact same problem... what makes me kinda like FlavorScape's suggestion ;)

What I did is something similar to sarnold's comment: I used an alternative email address (_@gmail.com instead of _@googlemail.com) and this actually created a new AppleID with this email address.

It works fine, but it would be so much better to just connect my actual Developer account to my client's.

The way it's like at the moment, I can not even access the developer resources and (most importantly) the provisioning center with the new Apple ID, so my client has to do create new provisioning profiles and stuff, which is pretty frustrating and complicated. Additionally, it is a pain to let him test the Apps on his own devices, because of the developer certificate is installed on my Mac, not his, and I am therefore the only one (or better, my Mac is the only computer) that can install new provisioning profiles on his devices.

Is there a better way to connect the accounts and solve these problems?
