Xbox services Developer Account tool (XblDevAccount.exe)

  • Article

The Xbox services Developer Account tool is used to manage authentication of a Partner Center account. This tool is needed to interact with other developer tools that require a developer credential, such as Player Reset and Global Storage. The Partner Center account must have the Xbox services Tools Access permission granted to use this tool.

This command-line tool is part of the GDK and XboxLiveTools.zip; see Development tools for Xbox Live.

This executable is used to signin/out Partner Center accounts and to save the credentials to be used across other Xbox services executables that require developer credentials.

Usage:

signin: This command will pop up UI if needed. The last used account information will be saved for further use across all other executables.

XblDevAccount.exe signin --name xxx --source XDP|WindowsDevCenter

Success output example:

Microsoft Partner Center account {Name} from {Account Source} has successfully signed in.
    ID: {id}
    AccountID: {accountId}
    AccountType: {accountType}
    AccountMoniker: {accountMoniker}
    AccountSource: {accountSource}

signout: This command will delete the last signed in account information, and clear up cached tokens.
