How do I select a build in App Store Connect

I tried to publish the app to Apple Store Connect. Normally there is a "+" button but I don't see one right now because Apple have updated iTunes Connect and introduced a bug. How can I get around this bug and select a build to submit my app to the App Store.
I cannot choose the build to Submit for review.
I just uploaded a new version a few days ago, and everything seems to be working just fine on iTunes Connect. Could you please make sure you're following the steps below:
First create a build from Xcode with a specific version number (for instance 1.3.0), archive and upload to iTunes Connect. Wait a few minutes for the build to process.
Once the build has finished processing, make sure it's available on iTunes Connect by navigating to My Apps/Activity/iOS Builds. If everything is okay you should see your new build "Version 1.3.0" here.
Now before you can change the build, and this may be the step you're missing, you need to add a new version of your app for submission, via "+ Version or Platform". This number should match the build you uploaded earlier (1.3.0).
Then just select the newly created version of your app on the left menu, and you will have the option to select the new build you want to use for this version in the "Build" section.
I had the same problem. The Step 2 in #user13639548 answer confused me even more because I didn't find activity/ios builds.
What solved the problem however was changing the versin from 1.1 to 1.1.0. and then also waiting 3-5 more minutes until the + button appears again.

Why would App Store Connect say "Newer Build Available" when there isn't?

I made a new build of my app (version 2.2 build 11) and uploaded to App Store Connect.
Then I used "(+) Version or platform" to prepare version 2.2 for submission. When I press "Submit for Review", I get a warning:
Newer Build Available
Are you sure you want to submit this build for review? A newer build of your app is available. To submit the newer build, delete this earlier build and resubmit.
The currently released version of the app is 2.1. The "Activity" tab of App Store Connect only shows this build (11) for version 2.2. Build 10 was version 2.1.
What does this error actually mean, and how am I meant to resolve it? The obvious thing is to try deleting this build and resubmitting it, but I'd like to understand more about the error, especially if it turns out deleting and resubmitting doesn't help (haven't tried yet).
Solved it.
As an infrequent iOS developer, I thought that specifying the version number after hitting "(+) Version or platform" would be enough. But I missed actually choosing the build far down in the submission form.
Presumably it defaults to the previously submitted build, which in this case would be 2.1 build 10, causing the error.
So the error message could have been better, but it was ultimately something I missed.
Check Activity tab, if it says 'Processing` than you will not be able to add the build to the release, and you will get this error message.
Wait for about 10, minutes for it to complete, add your build to the release, and you are good to go.

AppStore - Build not found

I archived a new version of application on XCode and uploaded it on app store using XCode , however when I open all builds from app store connect , I am not able to find the build. Thus I am not able to choose the build on the version. to submit for review.
I'm having the same issue as well, it has been 20 hours since I upload my build when I'm writing this and it's still nowhere to be seen.
I also tried to upload a second build and it's also not showing.
So I believe it's an Apple issue and not isolated, looks like we can only wait for now.
Edit: It works now. I assume it works for everyone now.
I also had this issue this morning. I have just now uploaded a new build of my app and the new build now appears, the missing one still doesn't appear. You will need to change the version number and re-archive your app, as otherwise it will be rejected as a redundant upload.
Update after 10 minutes the new build also disappears. Awesome..
After archieved file uploaded successfully it will go into processing stage. Where they are checking the internal settings using the automated tools.
Things will be checked like if any permission issues coming etc.
Lets say of example if you are using camera into your application but you have not given permission into.plist file than it will get failed into processing & removed build from the App Store.
Also if you have set up the permission properly but not given instructions that how & why this gets used than also build will get failed into processing stage. So there can be various reasons.
Ofcourse they will send you an email to your Admin email Id about the build failed while processing with the reason so by that you can resolve the issue.
Hope this will helps to everyone.

Can't select app version to test on iTunes Connect

I was having problem with uploading a build of my app but I was successful uploading a build (0.0.7) of version (1.0.0) while the build (0.0.6) was still processing
But when I am trying to add internal testers to test this build, the uploaded version is not showing up instead it shows the version which is still in processing.
Does it have something to do with iTunes or I am doing something wrong?
A guy from Apple contacted me after 12 hours with this e-mail
"Thank you for providing that information. In reviewing the information and screenshots you provided, I can see that you have a build that is stuck in processing and you were able to upload subsequent builds successfully, however you are unable to test the new builds.
We’ve had some reports of this issue and it should now be resolved. In order to continue testing, you will need to submit a new build with a new version. Once you submit a new build with a new version, you will have the new builds available to select from when choosing a build to test."
So, I think uploading a new build with a new version will hopefully work
I was able to resolve the issue by logging into iTunes Connect and removing myself as an internal tester (which removed the app from my TestFlight App) and then accepting the invitation again.
Try this :
1) Launch Application Loader.
2) In the top menu bar, click Application Loader > Preferences.
3) Choose Advanced.
4) Under Transfer Protocol, deselect Aspera.
5) Close the Preferences window and proceed with the delivery.
I am also facing the same issue and i change the version of my app in Xcode and then it will be shown in the internal testing. Please just change the version of your app then it will show. Just change the version to 1.0.1 or 1.1 whatever you want. Hope this will help you.
Thanks

Unable to upload new build on iTunes Connect

I have already gone through various similar questions asked here on Stack Overflow and also on other blogs. Unfortunately, none of those solutions are resolving my issue.
After doing a lot of search & when I was not able to solve my issue, I decided to ask you all.
I will explain scenario briefly. I have already uploaded iOS application for beta testing on iTunes Connect. My app's current status in iTunes Connect is "Expired" as 30 days testing period is over. I did few source code modifications and I want to make this updated application available for testers. Therefore, I tried to upload new build version for the app.
What I did is -
App version (Bundle versions string.short) - Not modified (1.0)
Bundle version - Modified from "1.1" to "1.1.1"
Build the application
Submitted application - Window -> Organizer -> Submit
Even though I did it properly, I am getting error as in below -
Can anyone of you please help me to understand where I might be doing mistake? Any help is appreciated.
Edit 1:
I tried to use build version 1.2/ 1.2.1 as well. Also I tried to upload a complete new app record in iTunes Connect with app version 2.0 and build version 2.1.0/ 210, but everytime got same error.
Edit 2:
My app's current status in iTunes Connect is "Expired". Will it matter while uploading new build version for same app? If yes, what could be the best solution for such issue?
Finally my issue got resolved. Along with modifying the Build version and keeping the Bundle version as it is, we need to check for few build settings whether they are set properly.
I was missing them and that is why I was not able to upload updated version of my application to iTunes Connect.
Please, refer below screen shot for these Build Setting.

This helped me and I hope this will help few others.
