I want to upload the iOS App to Apple Store. And I have upload my code by Xcode 7.
But in the iTunes connect. I can not select my uplaod version because I did not see the "add" button of "build version". Like the following picture.
Did I missing something ? Thanks in advance.
Give it some time, there's definitely a delay. I've experienced delays of up to one hour before I saw the button appear to select a build. If Xcode 7 indicated that the application was successfully submitted, it sounds like you've done everything correct. Just wait a little bit.
We haven't been able to submit the app for review cause Apple's upload process is broken since about 3pm PDT Thursday. I got it to upload but can't release through Testflight or directly to Apple for App store review. Sadly, there isnt much we can do. We're in wait and wait mode.

This is what their broken controls webpage looks like :-(

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.
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 ;)!!!
I uploaded my application to App Store yesterday. I was waiting for a long time as I couldn't find my binary file in Pre-Release option. I thought it may take some time. But on the sudden the UI of iTunes Connect has been changed today and there is no Build still in the app store. Still the status is Prepare for Submission. What am I supposed to do. Kindly suggest me guys.
In my case I had to resubmit my binary file to app store again. May be due to the change in UI. I was uploading last night. I guess after that only the UI might have been changed from Apple.
Tap on Activity tab check that your build.
I just uploaded a binary to itunes from Xcode. But when I checked
the iTunes page it says waiting for upload. I do not know why. This
problem happens only after the new UI changes on iTunes side.
Any help that might be appreciated
It may be still processing. Somewhere in the iTunes Connect documentation it says this might take some time. If after 24 hours nothing has changed, I'd recommend you contact their support.
This happened to me and I just uploaded the binary again. Third time it showed up. It takes about 10 min. of processing before you can select the binary for Submitting.
In the iTunes Connect App Management interface -- how do I edit the screenshots for my localized (approved and live) iPhone app?
Unfortunately, the web upload form had a bug which actually required the screenshots to be provided in reverse order (I provided them in the correct order, which meant that Apple reversed them and now they ended up wrong). Also mentioned here at StackOverflow. I only managed to edit the 4 screenshots in the US version, but not my localized version, and that was in the old interface.
The current standing on this has changed to:
Beginning January 9 [2013], app screenshots will be locked in iTunes Connect once your app has been approved. New screenshots may be uploaded when you submit a binary for an update to an existing app or a new app.
Apple support now got back with the (somehow not too satisfactory) answer:
If your app is currently for sale on
the App Store, you will need to submit
an update in order to change your app
screenshots.
If you have any further questions
regarding this, please let us know.
I was able to change my screenshots after my app was ready for sale, just click on "View Details" in iTunes Connect, delete the old screenshots and replace them, then "Done". The change is not instant so wait a bit. Then you will see your new screenshots on AppStore ;)
As of today, it appears you can't edit screenshots after you submit a new version. I tried everything but couldn't delete the draft screenshots until I finally removed my app from submission.
I usually use the time after submission to edit and improve the screenshots, but now have to be doing it before submission. This is a horrible change. Here is the email from support.
Being unable to now edit screenshots while an app is in "Waiting for
Review" status, is expected behavior.
Developer-facing documentation currently lists "Waiting for Review" as
a state where locked metadata can be edited. Screenshots should be the
only locked metadata that cannot be edited while an app is in the
"Waiting for Review" status.
We are currently updating the developer resources and documentation to
clarify
From the updated manual :
(*)
If you have new application screenshots for a version of your application, it is best to wait until this new version of your app is approved before updating your screenshots in iTunes Connect. Updating these before a version approval will change the screenshots for the currently-live application version. This best practice also applies to application metadata changes that you wish to coordinate for a specific version.
On the other hand, in the table in Appendix A it is stated that the screenshots are Locked, Version-level (page 153).
Version-level is:
If the item is marked on the Version, then the item information will relate to a specific version and may vary between versions.
Locked is:
If the item is marked as Locked, it can only be edited in an Editable State.
And a list of Editable states is:
Prepare For Upload, Waiting For Upload, Waiting For Review, Waiting For Export Compliance, Upload Received, Rejected, Developer Rejected, Invalid Binary, Missing Screenshot.
None of these states can be reached once the app is Ready For Sale by using any button in the iTunes Connect. The only reasonable thing that I can think of is submitting another minor version binary to Apple and looking for the possibility of changing the screenshots during the submission process.
The problem is (*):
If you have new application screenshots for a version of your application, it is best to wait until this new version of your app is approved before updating your screenshots in iTunes Connect.
So how do I do it correctly????????
I thought the same exact thing a couple of days ago. Then I uploaded it again in reverse order but instead it was random. They need to make a better UI for this. One where we dont even need to re-upload them, but arrows to move it up/down.
The official answer I received from Apple is:
Your app screenshots cannot be edited once your app has been approved. You can edit them in all other editable states.
Please note, when updating your app currently, you will be able to provide new screenshots and the new screenshots will not go live until the update is approved.
If you have any further questions regarding this, please let us know.
There's been some back and forth on the possibility of changing screenshots of an app that is in "Ready for Sale" state, without having to upload new binary.
At one point it was possible, but as of January 9th 2013 it requires a new binary:
Beginning January 9, app screenshots will be locked in iTunes Connect
once your app has been approved. New screenshots may be uploaded when
you submit a binary for an update to an existing app or a new app. For
more information on capturing and using screenshots, read the Xcode
User Guide.

Images CAN be edited after an app is available for sale. This was changed at end of 2010. If you already have 5 images - the upload link will not work until you delete one. No need to worry - if you delete one and have any issues on the DPI or RGB of what you are trying to upload (get an error or it is rejected) you can always click 'cancel' rather than 'save' and your original images will remain.
You dont need to add new version. Just wait about 1hr and your changes at screenshot gallery will appear at AppStore.
Solution for me was to use Safari. The controls would not show in Google Chrome. Using Safari I could modify the metadata.
