Verification codes can’t be sent to this phone number at this time. Please try again later

[davidgtu]

I have fastlane setup with my CI/CD pipeline (CircleCI) where every month, the fastlane session will expire every 30 days or so where I don't need to enter any sort of 2FA. When it fails, I could simply run

fastlane spaceauth -u USERNAME

In my team I have 3 users/phone numbers to send 2FA to. I select my number then enter the 6 digit code, copy the value, replace the FASTLANE_SESSION env variable on CircleCI, and it should work until the next 30 days.

However, recently, I've tried doing the same and am met with this error:

> fastlane spaceauth -u USERNAME

I've never ran into this error before and I couldn't find anything on google. Could anyone help me? Is this an App Store Connect specific thing?

Whereas my regular account doesn't get this.

Hey 👋

We've had a similar thing happen to us on multiple occasions in the past couple of weeks/months. It appears that Apple have changed something around their 2FA / phone number validation where they have introduced a limit on the amount of times a given phone number / account can be sent a 2FA code.

Interestingly, since this is a shared team account, when trying to log into it, I'm met with this:

That's exactly it - I suggest syncing up with everybody who actively uses this account and ask them to not log-in for the next 24h or so - and then to try again. I'm having the same exact issue, where my team and I have to be really considerate of every time we try to authenticate with App Store Connect - either via the command line, fastlane or just their website - it's way to easy to lock yourself out for a full day now if you don't 👎
