Unable to upload apps to iTunes Connect - ios

I'm currently unable to upload apps up to iTunes. I have tried to use Xcode to to validate but this returns an error 434 but doesn't really give any information with regards to what the issue may be. I then try to use App Loader which goes through successfully and uploads but then I get an automated email from Apple with the following:
Invalid Swift Support - The SwiftSupport folder is missing. Rebuild your app using the current public (GM) version of Xcode and resubmit it.
I've trawled through google for the best part of today trying various fixes, recreated my provisioning profiles and I seem to have gotten nowhere. I've even gone so far as to create a brand new app and add my code in case it was a dodgy build setting but again, I still get the same result.

This should probably be put as a work around but I've managed to fix it.
On my google travels a couple of posts suggested exporting as Ad-Hoc, this is what caused the issue with application loader and Apple rejecting the binary. I've exported as iOS App Store Development and the submission went through successfully and I'm now able to select the binary in iTunes Connect.
However, this has not resolved my issue with Xcode validation and uploading so for now I'll continue to use the application loader but if anyone has any input with regards to what this issue may be, I'd appreciate it.

App Build is not appearing on App Store Connect submission Dashboard

I have a Flutter developed App that I want to upload for App Store Review.
The App has been successfully uploaded through Xcode as you can see here— https://prntscr.com/26m7w94

Sadly, the Build doesn’t appear in my App Connect Build section as you can see here— https://prnt.sc/26no755

When I try to re-upload, it let’s me know that the Build is already uploaded to App Store Connect as you can see here— https://prnt.sc/26no84v

I have written to Apple and I don’t understand the answers they are giving me. They are just talking off-point.
Now I have waited for 8 days for this build to appear, but this uploaded build is not appearing.
Without this Build appearing, I cannot Submit to App Store Review.
Everything in the App Store Connect Form has been completely filled. Only Build remains to be added as you can see here— https://prntscr.com/26no94s
I can’t figure out what to do next, and this is 8(eight) wasted days gone by, with me not knowing what next to do.
Has anyone here faced this kind of problem before? How did you solve it?
Regards
Check in the TestFlight section. There might be a yellow triangle next to your build. You may need to answer some additional questions such as encryption usage etc. Just click on the triangle to answer and your build should be available afterwards.
Sometimes the answer to this issue is that there is actually a problem with App Store Connect (like right now).
You can check for issues on the Apple Developer System Status page.
For me changing the version from X.X.X to X.X.X+1 (2.2.2 -> 2.2.3) fixed the issue.
Sometimes it happens and I have also faced this problem .I successfully uploaded my bundle from Xcode but not found in connect.
I waited 30 minutes and refreshed .Then my bundle came in App Store connect.
Solution 1 : wait for some time & Refresh ,
Solution 2 : Create another Bundle and push to connect using Transporter (You can download transporter from appStore)
If the build doesn't show up on App Store Connect. You may want to check your email (the one you used as your Apple Id when uploading the build).
In my case Apple sent me an automatic email telling me that my build had some issues. Xcode didn't complain about anything and neither App Store Connect.
UPDATE: This might have boiled down to timing. After changing the version number to 1.0.0, that build showed up immediately. Half an hour later, the 0.0.1 build appeared out of the blue as well.
If you've set your version number to 0.0.1+X because you thought that makes sense while the app is still under development, change that back to 1.0.0+X. The upload will succeed, but app store connect won't list the build without a leading "1." in the version number.
Make sure no webviews are used in your app. It will not show builds in App Store Connect and neither XCode nor Apple will say that anything is wrong.

iOS app doesn't show on iTunes Connect when trying to deploy on testflight

I've read a lot of tutorials and stackoverflow questions similar but I'm unable to figure out what's happening.
So I an an iPad application that I can successfully build in Xcode and on iTunes connect see the app version processing...
After a certain amount of time, it just disappears from the menu. As in it's no longer visible.
I've been following guides similar to: https://www.raywenderlich.com/133121/testflight-tutorial-ios-beta-testing
But the screenshots on internal testing show's a Select Version To Test option which I don't see:
Does anyone have any idea on how to debug this or what's going on? Because the Archive bundle looks like it's deploying it to the app store, I can see it on the iOS Builds activity but after processing I can't find it anywhere.
Recently we faced this issue couple of times. In iOS Builds section it shows Processing and after some time it disappears.
Reason is due to some errors/ issues with the ipa submitted to iTunesConnect.
Apple sends the error messages to people added in the Users and Roles section of iTunesConnect. You can check the people added in the the Users & Roles section and see the mails sent from Apple for any errors related to the app
Please add this key in info.plist
<key>ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption</key><false/>
Paste it before
</dict></plist>
This value means that the app uses no encryption, or only exempt encryption. If your app uses encryption and is not exempt, you must set this value to YES/true. Mine is not using encryption so I've set it to false.
It worked for me.
Apple is not going to any send any emails to any user regarding this issue.

iOS app built from xcode but not showing build in iTunes Connect

I have built an iOS app and trying to update the version and upload it to AppStore. Its getting uploaded from Xcode and am getting the success message. But i could not find the build in itunesconnect. For a while its shown in activity tab with processing status but while refreshing it gets disappeared.
Sometime, its will takes time to appeared on ITC.
Still it not seen on ITC, then please upload one more time using Application Loader but change the build version.
Lets try it
Make sure your Info.plist has all the keys that you're trying to access.
I had the same issue on Friday. Submission was successful, but then I was waiting for hours, tried Application Loader, changing version number, all with no luck.
A day later got email from Apple:
Dear developer,
We have discovered one or more issues with your recent delivery for "MyAppName". To process your delivery, the following issues must be corrected:
This app attempts to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSAppleMusicUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.
Once these issues have been corrected, you can then redeliver the corrected binary.
Regards,
The App Store team
In case (like me) you're using Appcelerator, there was a bug in 5.5.1 resolved in 6.0.0. Find out more about it here
‌I had exactly the same problem. On the 3rd rebuild after a version number change while it was uploading I watched the iTunes Connect ->Activity->All Builds page. It appeared there 'processing' for 2 minutes. It then disappeared. However I then got an email from Apple telling me that it had been rejected because it uses the camera and photo library. iOS 10 has stricter control of privacy issues. It only requires a string against the correct key in the .plist to resolve - the keys are of the type 'NSPhotoLibraryUseageDescription' (or 'Privacy - Photo Library Useage Description' depending on how the plist is viewed).
It is extremely frustrating that the first two uploads did not result in any message from Apple - why cant they keep the build on the Activity page with some info about the reason it failed? Why do they not send an email every time they reject a build? I have wasted an entire day on this!
If you are suffering from this issue, have a think about what you are accessing and see if there is an appropriate privacy useage description string you can add to your plist. I see from various forums that some frameworks ask for a whole raft of permissions that you may not think your app needs - try adding every privacy useage description temporarily to see if that resolves the problem
Actually my app had watch extensions which was not removed properly. So once i removed them from "Build Phases" -> "Embed Watch Content", it got solved.

Upload ionic app itunes connect

I'm trying to upload my application to connect itunes but I could not get. Valid from XCODE application without any problem, it also raises and spends the whole process normally. But over 1-2 minutes since connect receive an error, error that appears in iTunes do not understand.
ITC.apps.preReleaseBuild.errors.processingFailed
This message appears next to the binary version of iTunes Connect a red alert icon.
I'm working with this application IONIC, it had already risen above versions without any problem to store.
I cleaned the project, it has made new applications in my environment itunes but nothing works for me. I'm not receiving any specific error. As I said earlier binary is validated from xcode.
This problem is mainly due to a plugin in particular, it was the PushNotification plug, take it away and I could upload my application without any problem. Now, there was never notice from Apple, nor stand that there was a problem with this. It was a matter of luck remove this plugin and it work.

My new app build is in iTunes Connect with status Processing

Maybe I have a stupid question, but after the update to Xcode 7, I sent a new version of my app to the App Store (via standard: Archives - Organizer - Upload to App Store). But now it is my build in iTunes Connect in tab Prerelease with status Processing (btw more than 12 hours), and I do not know why. Why is my build in Prereleasse tab? Previously, I uploaded new build the same way and I could have it for a few minutes to submit for review. Thx for help.
Update: After more than 48 hours, I can finally submit my new build for review! ;-)
The issue seems to be related specifically to Xcode 7. Some people have mentioned these work arounds to get it to go:
1) Use Application Loader and not Xcode to submit to iTunes.
2) Re-submit with new Xcode 7.1 beta.
3) Re-submit with old Xcode 6.4.
Your milage may vary.
Edit: Problem seems to be solved now, it appears to have been related to that exploited Xcode issue in China which caused significant iTunes Connect delays.
It's not the feature of Xcode, instead it's actually a feature of iTunes connect by itself.
All your uploaded archives go directly to "Prerelease" tab and lets you the privilege to distribute those to some specific users for beta testing, through TestFlight(optional), before you actually set it for production.
This process lets you debug your app performance and lets you actually maintain a build log, without actually releasing the app for public. When you are all set, you pick the best from Prerelease builds and release that to actual production environment, for public.
More documentation from Apple is available here
And by the way, I think your Processing issue should be automatically resolved if you give it some time (possibly 24 hours or so) or you might need to remove your app and upload that once more. You might know, Apple is too much busy to maintain it's App Store's security, right now ;)!!!
