Cannot get bitbucket cloud to connect to Xcode

Question

I have never been as frustrated as I have been with this.  All I am trying to do is setup Xcode to connect to a bitbucket repository and all I seem to get is an error about loading owners.

I setup an app password, gave it access to everything and it still won't work.

Is there any simple straight forward documentation on this? I mean this cannot be this difficult.

Hey @jelemans

Please note that this is a third-party application. It would be beneficial to connect with the Xcode community to see if someone there can assist you. In addition, I found some documentation that you might follow to help resolve the issue.

I'm having the same problem. Your documentation is not clear and it's not helpful for you to imply that Xcode is the problem.

I'm using the name shown on my bitbucket  account settings page that you have linked above.

Trying a push brings up a window with;

Sign in to your Bitbutcket Cloud account.

with blanks for account and password, no combination of username, nor email accounts and all my passwords work creating a new password didn't work either.

Cancel returns a message;

Authentication failed because the credentials were missing

What are the credentials?

Hi Douglas and welcome to the community!

Xcode is a third-party application and as such, we don't have documentation on it.

Are you asked to provide username and password in order to connect to the Bitbucket repo? If so, the use of app password, instead of the account's password, is correct, as your account's password can only be used for logging in to https://bitbucket.org/ from browser.

Are you also using the correct username for your account, which is listed here?

* https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/

If you use the correct username and an app password with the necessary permissions:

* What operation is Xcode trying to do? Clone the repo? Or perform an API call (and if so, what API call)?
* What is the output of the operation that Xcode is trying to do?

Kind regards,
