recently I am facing problem uploading my archive to test flight/ app store using XCode 13.2. Now I am using the latest version but for 13.1 version also I faced the same issue (App Store Connect Operation Error at last stage).
Firstly I thought this could be my internet, but even after changing WiFi I am not able to upload it.
Other solution is to use the Transporter app. There also it's same. But there it does not throw any error, rather it will be stuck in the "delivering app to the app store" stage for ever. Even after 2 hours it's not able to upload the app, needless to say that I am using 150mbps connection.
What can be the possible reason for this? And how can I solve this?
This is happening 10/10 times, it's not random error anymore.
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.
I'm trying to submit an app to the app store and I am constantly running in this error:
"The sessions status is FAILED and the error description is : Client unable to connect to server. Check UDD and Firewall(15)"
I tried everything I found here on stack exchange from restarting my computer, through using Xcode and Application loader. Nothing helped and I am constantly getting this error.
Guys. I tried restarting Xcode and the machine....
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I solved the problem by uploading from another Mac with application loader, however also on a different Network. Then it worked smoothly.
I restarted my router and the submission went through!
It was odd because I had uploaded 2 similar apps successfully just before the issue occurred.
Read System and Network Requirements in this DOC
https://itunesconnect.apple.com/docs/UsingApplicationLoader.pdf other wise try to submit in another MAC.
When I try to upload my app to iTC, after validate my app, I begin to submit it .
But there is an Error that said "iTunes Store operation failed
Error Description not available"
When I upload with Application Loader 3.0, same error happened.
I had this error once, too. Then I realized the provisioning profile (Project Targets -> Code Signing) was set to 'Ad-Hoc' profile instead of 'Production' profile. Setting it back to 'Production' did the trick for me.
I've got the Answer,
just upload the ipa with Application Loader 2.9.1, even thought the apple tell you that you should upload the ipa with xcode 5.1.1 or Application Load 3.0.0, but , my solution works well
download Application Loader 2.9.1 or here
The "Error description not available" sub-error message recently became "You are not authorized to use this service".
Removing the Apple ID from XCode preferences and re-adding it fixed the problem.
I'm a Chinese user and meet the same issue, I tried all these and fail:
Regenerate provisioning profile manually or via Xcode.
Use Application Loader (I didn't use 2.9.1 because I think it's a workaround).
Make sure your developer account are the same as iTunes Connect account.
Make sure bundle ID, version and build string in iTunes Connect and Xcode and the same.
Finally I googled and someone said it depends on network, so I opened VPN, and it success! I guess China's special firewall block something?
If you're in China and you've tried all the steps above, you can try to connect a VPN and upload your app. Wish it helps.
As the error says, There is problem in uploading to iTunes Store and not in code signing. Code signing step is prior to uploading to iTunes Store. Once the ipa is created successfully it should be uploaded to iTunes Store.
I faced the problem and without changing anything It successfully uploaded after some time. I guess if we are doing some operation on iTunes Connect, in my case I was removing the build which was set for TestFlight beta testing. After I perform some changes there the issue occurred.
Not the definite solution.
I had this error, and I found that it was because of the version number in my app. It had too many revision levels. You're allowed a maximum of 2. For example, 1.2.3 will pass validation, but 1.2.3.4 will generate the above error in Xcode 6.
I was getting the same error and I tried for like 15-20 times but was out of luck. Then suddenly it stuck with me what if the network is causing this. Since I was on WiFi, I sat next to the router and it worked in the first go itself. Since there is no proper message by the Apple I tried even this and it worked.
Note: If the size of the binary is quiet large then probably good internet connection is required too.
If you are in china use vpn. I fixed by use a vpn! The gfw block the upload api. you can check this.
This is also workaround but you could upload app with Xcode 5.1.1, if you still have one. Generated with Xcode 6.1 *.xcarchive files are available from older Xcode so there is no need to generate *.ipa file.
Just a tip:
Before you start to change and installing things, try to:
set the Provision profile to another one
update your Provision profiles in your account
close Xcode
open Xcode
set the Provision profile to the right one
Archive again
it worked for me!
In my case i user a wrong account with wrong password !
when i relogin, i fixed the problem, holp it will help you!
I have got this error when I tried to validate a build.
It seems just a few minutes ago I could at least validate and got a different error (with version number, I must increase it to 3.4.1 since 3.4.0 is already approved).
But it may be because I had a Pending Developer Release (v 3.4.0) . May be I have to release that version or cancel the binary. Otherwise I cannot validate the current archive.
I shall come back if that is the reason.
In my case what helped was... to wait. I had just deleted a version of the app and while itunes-connect appeared as I could upload another versione it takes some times to the servers to actually acknolegde this.
Waited until I got an email saying "App changed status to Ready for upload"
This always works for me:
Download the correct profile and certificate from member center;
Quit XCode (Not just close the project);
Try archive and validate again.
I usually get over this with a simple workaround.I get this error when I try to upload archive from Xcode 7.So I archive my project with Xcode 7 but I handle upload process from Organizer of Xcode 6.3.Xcode keep organizer content same across different versions of Xcode.
In some cases it might be a notwork/firewall issue. Make sure your the needed ports are open.
Also iTunes Connect must be working. Currently it is showing "iTunes Connect is unavailable until December 29"....
Here is a blog post about it.
On week were no one will be able to update apps. Greate...
I am trying to submit an app to the apple store via Xcode 4's in-built application loader. I created an archive, then went to itunes connect and made sure the app status is ready to upload. Then when I come to xcode and do 'Validate' or 'Submit', I just get the following message:
An error occurred talking to the iTunes Store
No details are given. Any ideas?
Update: I used the classic Application loader and submitted my app. No idea what the real issue was.
My mbp now run Xcode4.2(4D199) on Lion, I installed the latest java for Lion. And finally I sovled this issue.
Many guys said, he can used the old Application Loader app to upload the apps. so I guess the problem is the latest Application Loader app(2.4.1 (190)), and the fact told me I am right
Okie, in short words:
Here is the solution:
I hope you guys do not delete the old Xcode(4.1). We Should pick up the old version Application Loader app.
cd /Contents/Resources/Packages
cp ApplicationLoader.pkg ~/Desktop/
Now, you get the ApplicationLoader package.
Install the old one.
Tips: you can remove the latest Application Loader app in path: /Developer/Applications/Utilities/ or just remane it.
That's All.
Hope this way can help you and enjoy the new Xcode4.2. Also hope apple developer can saw this problem and test the latest Application Loader app more.
If your target has any spaces or special characters, remove them as they can sometimes cause this error.
It sounds like a connectivity or temporary network issue. I would check your network connection and try a bit later.
