Unable to download symbols for watchOS 8.7.1 (19U67)

On Xcode 13.3.1, 13.4.1, and 14.0b5 I am unable to download symbols for watchOS 8.7.1, which is preventing me from developing on my Apple Watch device.

The error I'm getting is a "403: forbidden" on the resource, with the more detailed error message showing on the Devices window:

Work Apple Watch via Work iPhone: Could not download and install Symbols for watchOS 8.7.1 (19U67). Failed to download package from ADC. There are no valid accounts registered with Xcode that have the ability to access this resource. Contact Apple Developer Program Support to resolve account access issues.

I am signed into a paid Apple Developer account, so I'm not sure why my account is not considered "valid".

The link for watchOS 8.7.1 Series 3 device support is here: https://devimages-cdn.apple.com/downloads/xcode/dsc/Watch3_3_19U67.dmg. When I try to access it in Safari, I get the "access denied" error. When I try to download the watchOS 8.0 Series 3 device support at https://devimages-cdn.apple.com/downloads/xcode/dsc/Watch3_3_19R346.dmg, I can download this no problem. This seems like an error with Apple's cdn permissions?

Should be available now!

I had this problem with watchOS 9 and watchOS 8.7 today.

Turns out if you look at the detailed error message, it is because you have got logged out of Xcode. Go to Preferences > Accounts and re-enter your password

Had the problem with Xcode 14.0 but it seems resolved with 14.1 RC 2.

I have the same problem with:

https://download.developer.apple.com/developer_tools/watchos_19u66/watch4_3_19u66.dmg

XCode tries to download it and it says: 403: forbidden

Please help
