I tried, unfortunately it didn’t work for me. I am trying the API key and it works. Filling the issue with OpenAI now.
Subject: Xcode Codex ChatGPT Sign-in Fails, API Key Authentication Works
Environment:
* macOS 26.5
* Xcode 26.5 (Build 17F42)
* ChatGPT Pro subscription active
* Codex CLI v0.137.0
Observed behavior:
* Codex Web works correctly.
* Codex CLI works correctly and authenticates successfully.
* Xcode Codex fails when using “Sign in with ChatGPT”.
* Xcode displays “Requires Eligible Account or API Key”.
* The issue reproduces in a completely new macOS user account.
Troubleshooting performed:
* Upgraded Xcode to 26.5.
* Tested with a fresh macOS user account.
* Verified ChatGPT Pro subscription is active.
* Verified Codex CLI authentication succeeds.
* Verified Codex Web authentication succeeds.
Result:
* Configuring Xcode Codex using an OpenAI API key works immediately.
* Agentic coding functions correctly when authenticated via API key.
* Therefore the issue appears isolated to the ChatGPT sign-in / entitlement / OAuth path used by Xcode.
Expected behavior:
* A valid ChatGPT Pro account should authenticate successfully in Xcode Codex without requiring API-key authentication.
