There are still screenshot uploads in progress. Apple App Submission - ios

Whenever I tried to Submit Review for my app, I got the following error message even I've uploaded all the required screenshots.
Unable to Submit for Review
There are still screenshot uploads in progress.
When I pressed view all files in Media Manager, I got gray blank picture screenshot which I've uploaded.
Blank Screenshot after uploaded
Here is the screen for error message.
I've been stumbling on this issue for a whole day already.
Does anyone has faced the same issue? and How to get rid of it?
Thanks.

I encountered the same issue. The solution is to be patient.
This is what i did:
Upload screenshots one by one, after you upload each screenshot just refresh the page. And after upload if you see the screenshot is processing, remove it and upload again and refresh the page. Repeat the procedure till all your screenshots are up. Make sure you use Safari.

The most useful method is not to wait, but to constantly re-upload the waiting pictures

I'm also facing the same issue, I just delete all my screenshot from every device and upload again and then getting the same issue, then after waiting a whole day, the next day I checked my images were uploaded.
It would appear that a Server side issue. While they fix it, we may need to trust that all photos will be prepared: on the off chance that you revive like clockwork, you will see that a few pictures that were gray with a cloud symbol are currently handled. I attempted and it would seem that it is a poorly conceived notion to attempt to supplant them once more. They all become dim once more. So how about we simply stand by until they are totally handled, while they work on the issue.

Error: There are still screenshot uploads in progress. On Apple App Submission

I compressed my images using compressjpeg.com. Now they uploaded fine.

I encountered the same issue - tried to delete and upload again all screenshots several times, but nothing helped.
The reason was that we have several localizations but use screenshots only for primary language.
But the broken screenshot was accidentally added to secondary language and was not visible at the first glance))
Found understanding for that issue here
"There are still screenshot uploads in progress." when submit a new build

I also encountered the same issue (at least a similar symptom): I uploaded screenshots for the 6.5 & 5.5 displays and other displays also, but when I click the "Submit for review" button, it gave me the same error as above.
In my case, the solution is:
> DO NOT use JPG, simply convert the screenshots to PNG and upload, then the issue is gone. (E.G.: I was using Mac Preview app to convert/export the JPG files to PNG)
=====
By the way, the preview is not mandatory, I didn't upload the preview video but still, I can submit it successfully.

Our problem was uploading wrong size to Apple, e.g.: for 6.5 we uploaded the 5.5 images and vice-versa. Once we uploaded the proper images we need to wait for about 5 minutes and Apple allowed us to submit the app

Workaround FINALLY!
Go to "Product Page Optimization" tab
Click in the plus sign to "Create Product Page Test"
Fields:
3.1 Reference Name: Test
3.2 Number of Treatments: 1
3.3 Traffic Proportion: 50%
Click in "Create test"
Upload your images inside the "Treatment A" area
Click in "start test" and send it to review and await apple
Once this review was accepted, you gonna be able to apply the new images to your current published and/or published version.
Send you new app version to app review, like usual.

Just Compress image in online, that works.

Apple seems to have solved the problem.
The images that were in the upload process yesterday, this morning were already uploaded and I've been able to send my application for review.
EDIT:
It seems that the correct answer is in the following question:

App preview video configuration in Final cut pro

I created a view for APP preview in the App store. Here is my configuration in the final cut pro:
Final cut pro screenshot
But i got this error constantly
Your app preview is in the wrong format. For more information, see the Developer Help.
Then I found this website and I set this configuration there
https://video.online-convert.com/convert-to-mp4
Video bitrate: 10240
frame rate = 30
Audio Quality = 256
But I got the same error.
Then I bought this app in the Mac App store
https://apps.apple.com/de/app/app-preview-video-converter/id1137451860?l=en&mt=12
But the output video from this app got the same error as well.
I worked many hours on fix this problem, could anyone help me to how to save my app preview video?
It seems theres a bug somewhere in App Store Connect at the moment. Your video format looks good so this must be what you are experiencing.
I am still waiting for it to be fixed and haven't had any success for at bit more than a day now - just checked again.
See related post on apple developer forums here: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/120816
Edit: It seems the error has been fixed now. Mine is working and so is it for the users on the related post
I had the same problem since yesterday. So I ended up submitting my app for review without the preview. Today it was reviewed and appeared in the App Store. I immediately went into iTC and instantiated a new version of the same app. Previously submitted screenshots showed up. I dragged the Preview video I had no luck submitting yesterday... and... it was accepted! With no error message!!!
-_-;;
So here is the strategy you can use if you really want to submit the Preview:
Submit the current "unlucky" version for review. Optionally you can set it to be released manually.
Wait until it is reviewed and flagged as 'ready for sale'.
Instantiate a new version.
Add the Preview by dragging it into the screenshot drop area.
Archive, upload the new version; draw the rest of the owl.
Also make sure that the Preview you created meets the requirements.
Hope it helps.

Build is disappearing from itunes connect

When I upload a build from xcode I'm able to see the build is processing on itunesconnect.apple.com, the image below is the screen I initially see:
build processing
But after I refresh the page the build disappears and doesn't reappear. It's been over an hour and I still don't see the build anymore. I've tried rearchiving but I get the same result--I see it initially but then it disappears. This is the "empty" screen I see after my build has disappeared:
empty build
Should I keep on waiting, contact support, or is this normal?
Most probably you are missing some key in the plist.
Please check your email for the developer account.
App Store review may send you a email for the above issue.
Make sure you have the key
" NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription " also added in your plist
I've had issues in the past when I tab to different applications during the build upload process. In those cases XCode seems to mess up and builds can take an exceptionally long time to process (3+ hours in my case). In my case I just incremented the build number and generated a new version making sure to keep Xcode in focus during the upload.
Usually the build might take around 3 hours to get processed and appear in App store depending on the size of your app. But so far I have not seen a scenario where even processing of build is not shown. I would suggest you to logout and login and then check for the same.
I got a email from apple.
I am not using camera and photo in my app, but still i got this email from apple developer team to add in my info.plist file. I don't know why to add it, but it worked.

Apple Itunes Connect Screenshots Continue to fail on upload

Unreal problems uploading screenshots to the itunes connect screenshot app.
I have followed the guidlines here for a 3.5in screenshot and yet still get this error message once trying to upload.
Have other people been having this annoying issue?
The image that I am trying to upload is of 640x960, Jpg, RGB, Flattened and of 72res.
The one thing I noticed on their guidlines is that the icons have an iphone around their screenshot. Is this possibly somethign that I need to add?
enter link description here
I've also attached the screenshot I am trying to upload for reference.
Many thanks
Turns out the answer to this post is that you have to use Safari as the dev team of Itunes Connect couldn't be bothered to support other browsers like Chrome which I was experience problems in...
Again Apple making life difficult.

Can't remove app waiting for upload

First of, thanks for taking the time to read this. I am a true ios developer newbie, just released my first app. Now, trying to submit a second (different) app to the appstore, but that seems to go wrong. Whenever i choose validate or submit my app in Xcode, i see that it tries to do so for my previous app (created 2 different bundles IDs for that first app, being a noob and all).
I surfed the web and found that i can delete that previous app that still has the status "Waiting for upload".
This link gives me a bit info on how to delete that broken uploaded;
What to do if Xcode Archiving Utility shows wrong app for validation?
Please note that i have no intention on submitting that 'broken' version of my first app.
HOWEVER, i don't seem to have any link where i can press delete, see here:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/Vq73t.png
TL;DR Can't remove my app that is waiting for upload, stuck with next development app now.
Any help is very, very, very much appreciated!
You can NOT delete an app with status waiting for upload. If you upload the binary that is possible. Just call it something like "APPNAME_old"
For anyone running into the same problem:
The only way i could solve this was by uploading an app with the same bundle-id, get that reviewed and eventually deleted.
