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.
I have successfully uploaded my iOS build on App Store today. Its been more then 5 hours now and the build is still not shown in Activities. I am using Xcode 10.1 to upload build and uploaded build using Xcode update build option. What needs to be done. I have tried to upload the same build again, but got "Redundant binary upload" error.
I had a similar issue. I upload a version with build number 2 and it was totally disappeared, I didn't find it anywhere and I can not re-upload it. I upload another build with number 3.
My app was approved and everything is okay. Today I received an email from Apple which said that I already have a build with a bigger version and I have to upload a new build bigger than 3.
I think somehow the service just hanged for a while(at least 2 days). But it hangs only the specific upload of build and it is not affecting the app.
You have several options:
Just wait
Create a new build with a bigger build number
Create a new version.
I did the second option and it was okay
Change the version of the app for example if it was 1.0 -> change it to 1.0.1 or 1.1
But you don't have to change the build if the app is not published to the App Store yet. Also make sure the build has been changed inside the .plist, that happens sometimes.
when you upload through Xcode to iTunesConnect it's can take a lot of time to process your build so just wait and it'll be finished eventually.
My connection was dropped while I am uploading the archive to the apps store.. and it showed Uploaded successfully with big green tick..
And also it goes to the app store and wait forever in the processing state. So I just uploaded it with the new build number and it's processed within less than 10 minutes.
but troubles are not over :(
then I couldn't select my latest build for test it still showed that stuck one..
What can I do for this ?
====================================================================
This has happened to me a few times already i.e. when a binary doesn't finish processing due to connection drop or other issues (on apple side).
Just upload a new build and use that build for release or test flight. Don't worry about the build that never finishes. Just ignore it and move on.
If you are still seeing build 2 as the latest under testfligth section, then logout, clear your browser cache, log back in and see. Clearly your build 3 is the latest one. itunesconnect is super flaky.
Use apple support as a last resort. They will take days to solve something as simple as this.
In my experience when the build stays greyed out and (processing) for longer than a few minutes it will stay forever like that. Best to just re-upload and wait for the new build to process. It does take a bit of time to show up for testing though.
These are the steps which I did to got build to the testflight internal testers
to show Export Compliance add below line
to info.plist
<key>ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption</key><false/>
change version no to different one (not the build no)
create archive and upload it without upload bitcode enable tick
I'm trying to use Apple's new TestFlight beta testing program and I am getting hung up on adding a second build.
I began the whole process by creating a new app version for submission (1.4). It now sits in the Prepare For Submission state.
My first prerelease build, uploaded through xcode, was version 1.4. I was able to add testers and distribute without any problems. Cool.
Now I am trying to add a second beta - When I first tried, I was denied because of a 'redundant binary upload' -- I was using the same bundle version number. So I incremented it to 1.4.1 and added that build.
Now that the build is added, however, I am unable to add any testers to this second upload. I keep seeing this:
However, when I go to the builds page, I see the testers I've already added!
Why can i not distribute this second version???
You have to change the "Bundle Version" (aka the Build version) in your info.plist. Alternatively, you can go to your project Target, select the General tab, and update the "Build" there. Updating either location will update both locations.
Then the steps are the same as when you uploaded your first build for beta. I just went through this process and it went off without a hitch.
I rejected a binary i had which was 1.0 (1.0).
The status went into Rejected by developer.
I went to upload a new binary and ran into this issue, i then saw that i needed to increment my build.
I increased both the app version and build to 1.1, this was a mistake.
I got some error about the app version not matching, understood.
Then i tried app version 1.0 and many different build numbers.
1.1, 1.0.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.0.3..nothing works.
I keep getting this error. There is only one build listed on itunes connect (1.0)
I tried submitting with no binary and it says i need one.
I even tried changing the app version to 1.1 in itunes connected and then uploading
1.1 (1.0) and that fails as well with the same duplicate issue.
Anyone ever have this issue?
The workaround of changing the build number is working for me, with the following context:
the app version status is "Prepare for submission"
the new version number is well saved in iTunesConnect (pressing the save button on version page in iTunesConnect)
the CFBundleShortVersionString is matching the version number in iTunesConnect (e.g. "1.2")
the CFBundleVersion in the Info.plist is incremented (e.g. 1.2.1)
In this way, several build are associated to the iTunesConnect version.
Here is how it looks like in iTunesConnect (1.2 is the short version number, 1.2 and 1.2.1 are the bundle versions):
I was trying for hours with no luck, after waiting a few more hours i got a reply from apple support asking for more info.
When i went to replicate the issue again for screenshots i decided to use a build number of 2.0, i was hoping maybe it wanted the major version to be higher.
This worked!
Everywhere online that i read said that 1.0 to 1.1 would work fine...or 1.0.0 to 1.0.1.
I, for some reason, had to go from 1.0 to 2.0.
Or there is always the possibility that waiting a few more hours did something.
Solved this issue by incrementing build version by 1 instead of sub-version. i.e. 1.0 to 2.0 instead of 1.0 to 1.1
I experienced this also, just increase the build number fixed it for me. I changed the build version to 1.0.1 and it worked. This can be found in the 'General' Tab in Xcode. Make sure you archive and validate again before submitting to App Store.
You need not to change the version number ,just change the Build number. But you should know that the Build number must be higher than last version you had uploaded. For example, your version number is 2.6.8 and Build number is 2.6.8 then you can change the Build number to 2.6.9. If you change the Build number to 2.6.8.0 it will occur a error say that the Build number(2.6.8.0) must be higher than the exist one(2.6.8) . So the key point is Build number.

Tried many different build numbers myself. The only option that worked for me was to give a 4 figures build number : 1.1.0.1 (1.1 being my app version number on iTunes Connect).
Hope it helps!
I guess, since Apple has integrated test flight into itunesconnect, there is a difference between version and Build (which is the wording they use in project-settings->target->generalScreen) and in info.plist its equivalent is "Bundle Version String short" and "Bundle Version". Here the wording has never made real sense to me.
I have gotten the error with version 2.2 and build 2.2. I changed it to version 2.2 and build 1 (because it was my first upload) and it worked.
For certain reason, Apple provided the build field on the General Tab in Xcode.
I have also encountered this issue and as much as you do, I am getting the same error over and over again even if I was changing the version numbers.
What is suppose to be done here is to update the build number only even using the same version number.
In my case, I have an App version 0.0.1, every time I upload a binary I need to change the build number eg:
Upload build 0.0.0 - Reject Binary and
Upload build 0.0.1 - Reject Binary and
Upload build 0.0.2
I tried ApplicationLoader 2.9.1, it's working for me.
ApplicationLoader 2.9.1 can download from itunes connect.
I've had this problem before and have solved it like you have, by upping my build number every time. It has always worked.
Now however, I am completely stuck. I have just added the Today Extension to my app, and now when I try to upload it always comes back with a 4238, no matter what version / build combination I put in. It's crazy, been at it for 2 hours now.
I'm wondering if there is any way certain build settings could make the uploader think there are 2 binaries?
I have a separate distribution profile for the main app and the extension, I also have 'Build Active Architectures Only' set to NO. That is all I can think of that would mess this up.
Any thoughts?
My issue was that the build number that I was updating in the General tab of Xcode wasn't changing the bundle version in the app's plist - so the uploader thought I was uploading the same build every time no matter what build number I was using. Once I changed the bundle version in the plist, everything worked fine.
I solved same problem...I uploaded a version 1.01 and build 1.1 then I decided to reject this compilation. I Changed on i-tunes version to 1.1 and tried to upload new version 1.1 build 1.1 and I got error. Then I change on xcode to build 1.2 and upload ok.
In my case I had to make build numer higher that last build number I uploaded. I had on iTunes Connect app with build number 3, then rewrote app from scratch and tried to upload new app with build number 1 I got same error, after changing to build number 4 it worked fine.
Check if you have used the run script:
if the answer is yes, then you have to submit your changes to your git server, then the script will increase your build version number automatically!
Solved this problem by Modifying the Build Number under General -> Identity in the Target build of the Xcode project. Afterwards go to the Product menu, select Clean and Build your app.
From Build : 1
To Build : 1.2
Finally, repeat the app submission process by running Product -> Archive and follow the screen prompts.
I have uploaded the app, but for missing screenshots for 3.5", I got the same error.
And could not upload again from xcode.
(So I make an ipa file, in xcode organizer and export as ipa).
But when I press the upload build in the itunesconnect then it take the old uploaded file (give me an option to choose).
And then after saving this, I got the option for submit for review.
(If you go to the pre release tab in itunesconnect, you can see the previously uploaded app.)
