How to enable Media Services App Developer Account to Create a Key for it?

Question

I'm trying to create a Media Services Key in developer.apple.com. The issue is it's grayed out. Does anyone know why? It says

There are no identifiers available that can be associated with the key

Answer 1

I had the same issue and found the Create a private key to access a service procedure, in which step 4 says "If the Media Services checkbox is disabled, you need to register a media identifier first."

That step links to the Register a media identifier procedure, which instructs how to create an identifier in the developer account section titled Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. Here it is:

Register a media identifier

1. In Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, click Identifiers in the sidebar.
2. On the top left, click the add button (+), select Media IDs, then click Continue.
3. Enter the app name as the description.

• The app name is displayed to users when requesting access to Apple Music.

4. Enter a reverse-domain name style string for the identifier, then click Continue.
5. Review the information, then click Register.
6. Click Done.
