Can’t accept App Store Connect team invitation

Title Can’t accept App Store Connect team invitation – link forces “Create Apple ID” and rejects my existing e-mail


Problem

I just received an “X has invited you to access App Store Connect” e-mail. When I click Accept invitation, the browser opens the Apple ID page but it shows the “Create your Apple ID” form instead of a sign-in screen.

If I enter my normal address, the form shows the red error:

This email address is not available. Please choose another.


Context

  • I already have an Apple ID on that exact e-mail address.
  • I was a member of a different App Store Connect team until this morning; I left that team before clicking the new invitation.

Question

How can I accept the invitation with my existing Apple ID instead of being forced to create a new one ?
