Account automatically removed from Xcode

Question

Few days back I added an account in Xcode preferences which succeeded and I was running the app on device. But today when I opened Xcode, the account was nowhere to be found. The same happened before as well. At that time I thought there might be some connectivity issue but then I faced it again. Possible reason ?

@KamleshShingarakhiya : The screenshot is just for showing that account existed before, since it has an identifier. Issue has nothing to relate with the checkbox. On opening the Teams dropdown, then account was missing. — Nitish, May 09 '18 at 12:07
yesterday I also faced this issue, once i shutdown my system and reopen again , the account's automatically deleted , — Anbu.Karthik, May 09 '18 at 12:09

This is Xcode 9 bug, Many user faces this issue.

Xcode 9.3 now uses Keychain Access Groups to store your Apple ID credentials in the keychain.

You can fix this problem by setting a user default. In Terminal, using below command:

defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode DVTDeveloperAccountUseKeychainService -bool NO
