In the past 6 months every time I upload a new version/build to the Apple App Store through Xcode / Application Loader, it takes between 20-40 minutes for even the smallest app. The uploader is always stuck at the beginning and when if finishes after a huge amount of time, the progress bar just jumps to the end.
Also, and the most annoying, it totally hogs my internet connection (and anyone who is connected to the network aside from me). It’s not usable at all.. it’s really frustrating to upload a build to the App Store for so much time while it totally kills my internet connection -> it happens on any internet connection I try to upload from: Home, office, friends houses, public networks at the mall / restaurants.
When I upload APKs to the Google Play Store, everything works crazy fast (5-10min tops!) and my internet connection is working fine while doing it.
I also tried opening a bug report ticket to Apple, but because it’s Apple, they didn’t even take the time to answer it for almost a month now.
Does this happen to anyone here? Is there a way around it?
Thank you very much :)
It is apple algorithm to validate first then accept application.
Sometime it uploads in 10-12 minutes sometime takes 30 minutes. It depends on internet speed, server load while uploading...
Developers working outside Apple have to keep patience, No Other way
Best is try to upload with Application loader.
I had the same issue and it was completely fixed upon updating itmstransporter.
cd ~
mv .itmstransporter/ .old_itmstransporter/
"/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Application Loader.app/Contents/itms/bin/iTMSTransporter"
Please refer to https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/76803 (look at KumobiusIvan's answer)
First Export the ipa with export functionality of xcode and the upload it with Application loader
You can use this tool provided by xcode it self,
I think sometime the internet connection works well, few ports in your connection internet setting needs to be open.
This might because of the Firewall issue.
We had similar kinds of issue in our organisation but then the link below was helpful for a work around.
itunesconnect using application loader behind a firewall
I have the same problem. fastlane deliver worked for me. Still very slow, but at least it works and does not hog internet.
Here the docs
I have also faced this issue while uploading build through Xcode. There was no indication or progress update while uploading build. So I tried uploading build through Application Loader.
While uploading build to App Store apple performed few checks like
1. It first checks the valid profile for build on iTunes Connect. If there is any valid profile then we can upload build.
2. First thing happens while uploading build is verification of assets and also build validation by iTunes; this is the stage which consumes maximum time of build upload process.
(In my case it took 20 minutes avg. while doing it through Application Loader)
3. Once verification and validation succeed build uploading starts. We can see the upload progress in Application Loader.
As suggested in this SO answer use the Application Loader and uncheck the Aspera and Firmante options in preferences/advanced.
Probably is just enough deactivating the Firmante option.
Also check that you have enough ram for the app delivery. I recommend you to shut down Xcode and any other RAM intensive application.
My situation is very similar to the OP.
None of the above suggestions work for me. Likely the real cause is physical and related how Application Loader is using the internet. I have ADSL2 connection with a Netgear modem/router assigning each device at home a fixed IP address according to the mac address of the network interface of each device. I had noticed that when Application Loader is uploading, my Windows PC could not connect to the internet. However, if in Mac mini I use Safari doing various things like watching video, my Windows PC can access internet.
Even stranger, when Application Loader is uploading, the modem/router could easily lost connection to the internet, as I could see from the LED lights of the modem. The connection is lost randomly at any progress of uploading the 20 MB file.
So I had turned off Windows PCs, iPads, iPhones and Android device at home, so Mac mini is the only device using the Internet, the Application Loading has finally been able to upload the app successfully in one go.
My guess is, my home phone line has some noise, and Application Loader is using the internet aggressively particularly the up link, so stressing out the modem, then causing other devices like my Windows PC lost connection, not even able to resolve host. When Safari is uploading video to App Store, no problem.
So my working solution is to make Mac be the only device using the Internet, given that the internet connection is already in poor condition with noise, near the edge of losing connection.
you need to use Transporter app
you can download it from here https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=10152019a

I want to upload an app to the app store but the organizer takes forever to upload and most of the time it takes no further action, just stuck on "Uploading package to the app store"
I have uploaded several apps before and never encounter this issue...but this is the second app to face this issue with and it really drives me crazy
After a lot of searching someone suggested to disable firewall but it was disabled already on my case so I enabled it, and guess what,It worked...what is more confusing is that I had to reupload the version and the same issue appeared again so I disabled the firewall and it worked agin...so, in conclusion, try to change your firewall setting and see whether it will work correctly or not
I'm trying to upload my iPhone .ipa file to iTunesconnect. I've done that many times successfully using Application Loader, but lately it takes more and more time.
This night & morning I'm stuck at max 15% being uploaded, then my home network completely or partially crashes, and I have to start from the beginning, usually with resetting router first.
Some potentially useful data:
I'm using Application Loader for updating ipa
Application loader uses port 443 for https
.ipa file is about 50MB big
I've updated java as suggested on one stack overflow thread
Firewall is turned off
I have faces a similar problem some time back with Xcode 6, and it was not due to Application Loader, but either my mac or the network. How I resolved the problem was that I used a friend's Mac on a different network and it uploaded smoothly and without any problems. However while trying to fix my problem I came across multiple solutions that may work for you:
Use the default Xcode Build submission tool (The one that you get after validating your .ipa file and it says submit to the App Store)
Use Application Loader (this only works if you were trying with the Xcode uploader in the first place, however I'm assuming you weren't)
Upload from a different network (This seemed to have helped a lot of people.)
Use a different mac. Sometimes the issue could be with your machine. (You can try restarting it, but using a second mac if available would be much better.)
Use the last stable release of Xcode. When using one of the Beta's, try to use the last official release. (And also make sure you aren't using any pre-release technologies, however this should only stop you at a later stage)
You can try any of the above points, as for me a combination of 3 and 4 worked.
Hope that helps, Julian
When I try to achrvie the Xcode showing the message " Fetching list of teams from the Developer portal " . It always timed out. Can't fetch the team.
I Accounts it Showing Apple Id not having any Development Teams. I have added the Apple Id
I have just tried to make same and it's working properly for me. So, problem is not from Apple Side.
Please check your internet connection properly and try again.
Apple is facing some big problems for last two weeks and due to iTunesConnect Outage they are facing some problem in uploading the new application on AppStore. But here you can also check if your internet connection is good and make sure it is not low internet connectivity.
Here there is also some issue with Xcode 6.2 so better you delete the team and add them again and try to upload the application via Xcode.
In case you are still facing the same issue then better export the .ipa file and upload with "Application Loader" software from Apple.
It's because of low internet connectivity. If your internet connection is not proper then you cannot get an apple account through which you can make an IPA.
July 2015
I'm using XCode 6.4, and today, its been happily building Ad-Hoc .ipas for me all day, but now, on the same MacBook Pro, it's timing out every time on this same "Fetching list of teams from the developer portal" message.
Sometimes, it (eventually) returns a "The request timed out" message, sometimes I just get this...
And no, this isn't an internet problem...
This issue has been reported on several StackOverflow threads over the past few months. Usually it works, but sometimes it doesn't, and, in usual Xcode fashion, it gives no hint as to the cause/solution.
(How can the same company produce such a fantastic OS and hardware, yet their development environment is so consistantly bad, year after year...?)
Update
Sigh.
Out of desperation, I rebooted my MacBook, and now, it happily manages to load the list of teams.
(Just closing all Xcode instances wasn't enough to fix the issue.)
Welcome to the 1990s, folks.
I've tried everything that been said. Nothing works, what I do is try and cancel every moment that you know it will fail. Like a traffic that cant continue because of load of request.
I request your help with this as I have been fighting with this since last night. I have googled for hours and I can't seem to find a solution to this so I am starting to fall for desperation.
Basically, I submitted an app last week. It got rejected because of a small mistake of my part. I want to resubmit it now, but the app won't upload. I need to note I have reconfigured my network since then but I'm sure all ports are open and that nothing should be getting on the way of my app being submitted.
Most of the fixes I have attempted to do come from other SO questions. Since nothing works, I am starting to think it's an issue with Apple, but at the same time I doubt they would leave this error unnoticed for over 15 hours now.
Above is an screenshot of what I get when I try upload an app using the Application Loader. The same error shows up from Organizer if I leave it running long enough. When I use XCode, I get a Connection Timed Out error.
Amongst the solutions I have tried:
Restart Xcode.
Restart my Mac.
Restart my router and modem.
Gone Xcode > Contents > Applications > Application Loader > Contents > MacOS > itms > java > lib - Opened net.properties with TextEdit and changed the line # https.proxyPort=443 to https.proxyPort=80
Went to preferences and left only DAV checked.
Built my app with a different certificate and provision profile.
Finally, I am using an iMac, so answers in the lines of "go to your nearest library and use their Wi-Fi" are not really feasable.
I am open to new ideas to try.
It looks like it is a trial and error kind of thing with me. For starters, my iMac never succeeds sending my app to iTunes. But my MacBook Pro does. With Application loader.
If the process is stuck in "Sending iTunes Usage to iTunes Connect" for over 15 Minutes, I force-quit Application Loader and open it again. It takes around 10 minutes for me to get past that stage.
Then comes the "authenticating with iTunes Connect" step, which takes around 10 minutes as well. If it goes for over 15 minutes in that step, then I have to force-quit.
These tips may not help everybody but it seems to be my case...
I have the same! I have tried with other network sources, but negative result. But i solved this with Force Quit Aplication Loader when it shows you issue. I hope it helps to U.
The moment you see this error.Just Hold CMD key and press Q. Then try again. You don't have to switch your network sources. It looks like App is spawning multiple threads to upload your IPA.
In Xcode i have have created an archive of the app. Verified it no problem. then when i click Distribute i get as far as "Your application is being uploaded" and shows the progress bar.
The bar never moves and after a few minutes my internet breaks. i need to restart my router to get the internet back.
one of the times i received this error "SSL error occured and a secure connection to the server cannot be made"
Anyone ever experienced this or have an idea of whats happening?
Thanks
I also faced this problem: "your application is being uploaded stuck"
My ANSWER IS:
Either just delete your derived data from organizer or Instead of uploading via Xcode, try via it using Application Loader.
I choosed via Appplication Loader and Steps to do that are:
Step1: Make .ipa file via Ad-Hoc Deployment by click Distribution button.
Step2: Find from menu bar of Xcode -> Open Developer Tool -> Application Loader.
Step3: Then upload it that .ipa file in Application Loader.
**
OR ANOTHER SOLUTION
**
For uploading it via XCode:
Step1: Firstly Validate your archive file by clicking on validation button of Organiser.
Step2: Then Upload it to App Store via Oraganiser.This way you can also solve this problem as well
THIS IS MY ANSWER . HAPPY TO HELP :):)
apple uses java ?
my mac does not have problem for internet.any application can download/upload.
except xcode's organizer's distribute or application loader blocks whole internet and modem stops working for a temporal time.
it is obvious not a mac problem. but apple's uploading system strategy seems not good.
they gotto fix this.
I've heard of some users having issues if they're running old versions of Java. If you can't update, or if updating doesn't fix it, you can try:
sudo ln -s CurrentJDK /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5
sudo ln -s CurrentJDK /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0
(other similar workarounds here.)
It could also be an Internet connectivity issue.
Either way, you can also try uploading your app using Application Loader.
I updated my old Java version (from 21 to 51). Is still freezing my Internet.
I validated my archive with Organizer. Is still freezing my Internet.
I tried to upload an IPA with Application Loader. Is still freezing my Internet.
I deleted all my old archives in Organizer. Is still freezing my Internet.
Finally I connected my Mac to Internet through my iPhone's Internet. In resume I connected my Mac to Internet with another provider. This solved my problem
Sounds like my land ADSL provider have some problem with the AppStore.
It will be to do with your firewall on your mac, it may be blocking java all together. Go to settings, security and privacy and then firewall. Once on there go to fire wall options and then there should be an option to allow java to pass through the firewall.
Hope that helps, did with me :)

It's very old issue, but in case any of you is still looking for a solution, I stopped using Xcode to upload my apps to the app store. Instead I'm using Transporter (by Apple) and it seems to fix the freezing
