Unable to upload app to App Store connect - ios

I am trying to upload my app to the App Store connect but I'm not able to.
I was testing my app using Xcode 12 and without realising it was beta software, I archived my app and uploaded it. Now when I click on submit for review it says Binary Invalid. Then, I realized that I wasn't supposed to upload it using Xcode beta. Now, when I try uploading it with Xcode 11.5, It isn't letting me sign the app as I get an error saying Profile doesn’t include the com.apple.application-identifier entitlement .
I have tried the following Methods and none seem to work.
Close Xcode and Delete all provisional Files from ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/MobileProvisions/
2.Change the Bundle ID and also tried repeating (1.)
Create new certificates and profiles from the developer website(Both original and new bundle IDs)
Delete Xcode and reinstall it.
But in the end it only uploads it with Xcode 12 beta. (And throws an error saying Binary Invalid)
Please help me rectify this issue.

I struggled with this problem for two days, simple fix is to;
Build with 11.5
Archive / Upload with 12 beta

Here is the answer. Create your archive. In the organizer, select your archive. Choose distribute app. Then instead of upload, choose export. Export the archive to a folder on your hard drive. Now download transporter from the App Store. Transporter replaced "Application Loader" or whatever it used to be called in the developer tools menu of Xcode.
Now sign into Transporter with your dev account and upload the .ipa found in your exported archive folder using Transporter.
It will work under Big Sur!

Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Store Provisioning Profiles

I'm using a beta of Xcode 9. I've archived my iOS Project and whenever I try to validate it, I get this error for every one of the targets in my app:
And I'm getting this error for every target like I said. The provisioning profile for each of the targets is an Xcode Managed Profile. What am I doing wrong?
You should try two options:
1) In Developer.Apple.com create a distribution provisioning profile, download it, and select it. Then re-archive your project and validate. This should dismiss the error.
2) If option 1 doesn't work for you, click the Export button beside archive and save your .app file to your Desktop. Then open Application Loader (In Xcode, click Xcode > Open Developer Tool > Application Loader). Enter your credentials, then upload the app using the .app file you generated and saved to your Desktop.
Note: Sometimes Xcode shows fake errors when validating and Application Loader will ignore those and allow you to upload a build successfully.
When Application Loader is finished, you should then be able to see your build in iTunesConnect after about 15-30 minutes.
It happened to me when I wanted to make an enterprise build but I accidentally selected to upload build to App Store.
Mine worked on a simple second attempt with no changes or rebuild.

How to solve: Xcode Archive upload failed with error 22421

I tried everything but I cannot upload a build to iTunes anymore. It worked for over a year perfectly, but since I had to re-install macOS Sierra, I get this error and trying over and over again doesn't help.
I have the latest Xcode from the App Store and I can run the App on my developer phone, the app is actually already in the App Store, I can use the simulator, no build errors, but the moment I try to upload a new build I get the 22421 error without any detailed description.
Does anybody know how to solve this?
I found this solution (in Terminal) on the official developer forums:
cd ~
mv .itmstransporter/ .old_itmstransporter/
"/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Application Loader.app/Contents/itms/bin/iTMSTransporter"
You can try following solutions:
Use Application Loader to upload your app, as Xcode organizer can't upload file (rejects IPA) sometimes, without genuine reason and it's frequently occurring issue, with Xcode Organizer, that apple could not resolve permanently.
Solution for error code: 22421
Apple app upload server is not working properly (not in
connection or lost connection during file upload). Just wait and try
again later (may be after a day).
Fluctuation in your network
connection, during file upload.
You may not have added privacy
statements in your info.plist file.
Cocoa Keys: Here, is list of keys that you should consider to add in your info.plist file, if you have used that service in your application.
Nowadays, you may also face, this error code: 90186 (with app loader)
Outdated application loader can be reason of this error. Use latest Xcode tool and use application loader from Xcode Tool.
Incorrect/invalid provisioning profile, associated with your build. Ensure, your have used correct provisioning profile (A provisioning
profile with Distribution/Production mode is require. A Development mode provisioning profile won't allow your to upload app on store.)
You can find latest Application Loader Tool from latest Xcode Tool: Xcode -> Open Developer Tool -> Application Loader

Xcode: Problems with getting my App to the AppStore

I am trying to upload my app to the AppStore with Application Loader
I tried to archive my project in order to generate the "ipa" file for Application Loader and the archive process got stuck at "Compiling swift sources" for almost 5hrs; I took to the response I read from - Xcode 6.0 taking forever to archive my project and I successfully generated the .ipa file with iTunes but while trying to upload with Application Loader, I get the error:
ERROR ITMS-90161: "Invalid Provisioning Profile. The provisioning
profile included in the bundle com.youngbobby.MyAppName
[Payload/MyAppName.app] is invalid. [Missing code-signing
certificate]. A Distribution Provisioning profile should be used when
submitting apps to the App Store. For more information, visit the iOS
Developer Portal."
I have generated my keychain certificate and my distribution provisioning profile and I still get that error during submission. Do you think the error is related to the method I used? Do I have to maintain the traditional "archive" method? If yes, what would be the fastest way to archive and generate my .ipa file? I have tried enabling Whole Module Optimisation as suggested here all to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT
I did a quick check on why my archive process was stuck at "Compiling swift sources" using "cmd + 8" and I noticed that my local Data store swift file which is a long Dictionary of type [[String:Anyobject]] was the cause of the problem. I can't really explain why it is so but I want to maintain the traditional method of archive and send because it seems using iTunes to generate my ipa file does not agree with my provisioning profile.
When you are building the project, it is still building for debugging, hence it is using the development provisioning profile.
Before you do the build to create the .app, go to the Scheme (just to the right of the stop button, to the left of the device on which you are running).
Click that and choose "Edit Scheme..."
Under the Run section, there is a setting for Build Configuration.
Change that from Debug to Release (if you are using the standard build config and you have configured the Release config to use your distribution profile and signing identity).
Close that window, then change your device to the generic "iOS Device option (make sure you don't have any devices plugged into your Mac).
Once you've done that, run your build again and the ipa created should be built with your release configuration and signed correctly.
You are probably using a Development Provisioning profile.
Go to your dev center.
Create a new provisioning profile, select App Store and select your bundle ID. create that and download it.
Control drag that provisioning profile to Xcode, Change build settings in target and project to the one you downloaded now and as Distribution.
Compile and build your app. Archive it and start uploading it to App store.
That should do it.
P.S do select your team correctly before you configure your build settings.
EDIT
If you already have done these steps just revoke the old one and create a new Provisioning profile and check.
Finally got my problem solved.
It seems all I needed to do while my app was compiling swift sources was to WAIT
I reduced the amount of Data in my Datastore file and the Archive process took less than 10 seconds to archive.
Pity, Xcode does not show a Timer to calculate how long it would take to archive a project and looking at the progress bar does not really guarantee that the process is working as in my case was a relatively huge one. So, maintaining the huge data I had, I simply had a 6hr nap and by the time I was up, my project was successfully archived and all other processes worked seamlessly :)
If you find your project 'stuck at compiling swift sources' during Archive Process, all you need to do is Wait.

Cannot upload new build file XCode 6.3.2

I have XCode 6.3.2. I have build\t a swift project, compiled it and archived it. I cannot seem to validate it because when I run validate it just hangs/spins forever. When I try to upload app to the app store, it crashes. I thought it might have something to do with the fact that I have a new iPhone 6, so I regenerated all my provisioning profiles. I then manually selected these profiles in my XCode profject and tried again. This time it didn't crash but gave me an error that the upload failed because I am not authorized to perform that operation. I believe this is because my apple ID on itunes connect (where I am authorized) is different from my apple ID I use for the IOS developer program. So I tried exporting the build to an IPA file. Howevere, if I use Application Loader, this IPA file is grayed out regardless of which apple ID I choose.
How do I fix this?
i have this issue too. And this is how I solved it.
Xcode -> Window -> Organizer -> Select Archive -> Export -> Save for iOS App Store Deployment
To Upload:
Open 'Application Loader' and follow the steps
Notes:
-Apple Developer Program ID must be the same as the iTunes Connect account ID
-In Xcode, use the iTunes connect ID to login and upload app

Testflight doesn't show "Update Profile" Option anymore

I often had to change the provisioning profiles for my ios builds due to new testers/udids.
I had no problems following this guide Adding more testers to a build?
I updated my profile in the devcenter and made the upload, everything works perfect. But from today on I miss this option completely, the Update Profile Button and the complete row is just gone.
I googled changes regarding testflight but couldn't find anything.
Someone has a clue?
iOS 8 doesn't support installing provisioning profiles individually any longer. So this doesn't work on iOS 8 devices any more and you have to create a new build using the updated profile to add new devices.
I emailed TestFlight about that this morning and this was their response. Looks like it's for iOS8 as others have pointed out :
"Due to the changes in iOS 8, it's no longer possible for testers to install provisioning profiles from the iOS Settings app. App developers will now need to rebuild their Ad Hoc beta apps to update the embedded provisioning profile in the app's IPA file. If you need any help with this process, please let us know.
You can also find more information about updating provisioning profiles from the link below:
http://help.testflightapp.com/customer/portal/articles/829818"
I was able to change a particular build's embedded provisioning profile manually. Here's how I did it.
Download the build's IPA file from the testflightapp website. You can download it by accessing the build's share address in your browser. That's the https://www.testflightapp.com/install/BUILD_ID link that's shown on the Build Permission page.
Change the ipa file's extension to zip and unzip the archive.
Right-click and Show Package Contents on the single file inside the Payload folder.
Replace the embedded.mobileprovision file with your updated provisioning profile.
Recreate the zip archive and change its extension to ipa.
Upload that ipa file to test flight.
The option has dissappeared for me as well. I was also using the option frequently.
However, I did notice problems and the feature was no longer working once the iOS 8 GM was released on iOS 8 devices.
Even though I updated the profile, the build failed to install every time. (And now that you asked I noticed it's gone).
I also browsed through all the settings/permissions/etc, but it seems they removed the feature.
Since Apple acquired TestFlight, they changed the whole process for iOS 8:
No more provisionning profiles, only Apple ID's email.
1,000 beta testers and 25 internal testers per application.
https://itunesconnect.apple.com/ is the new testflightapp.com/dashboard/
I have successfully replaced my old process following this one: http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/ios-8-beta-testing-with-testflight--cms-22224
