Classification:other bug Reproducible:yes
 
Summary:
When trying to add my developer account to Xcode via "Xcode -> Preferences -> Accounts -> Add Apple ID", I get the error "Could not parse server's response as a plist". My last name contains a special character (Umlaut "ä"), which obviously causes this error.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change last name of an Apple ID to contain a special character like "äöüé"
2. Open Xcode 6 beta 6
3. select Xcode -> Preferences -> Accounts -> Add Apple ID
4. enter email address and password of the Apple ID

Expected Results:
Apple ID gets added to the list of accounts

Actual Results:
error message "Could not parse server's response as a plist" shows up

Version:
- OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
- Xcode 6 beta 6 (6A280e)
