Got a new email from Apple after uploading my app (hadn't received this kind of email before today, at least not recently):
We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app, "MyApp" 1.2.3 (45). Please correct the following issues, then upload again.
ITMS-90725: SDK Version Issue - This app was built with the iOS SDK. All iOS apps submitted to the App Store must be built with the iOS 13 SDK or later, included in Xcode 11 or later. Further, starting April 26, 2021 iOS apps submitted to the App Store must be built with the iOS 14 SDK or later, included in Xcode 12 or later.
It's strange because the message doesn't actually specify which version of the SDK is the problem. I thought we were using the latest.
In the project file, we don't have a specific version under "Base SDK"
And there doesn't seem to be any clear way to specify an SDK version. If I click the dropdown I see:
If I click "Other" I see:
I checked another more recently created Xcode project and it also doesn't specify any version in Base SDK.
How do I appease this Apple SDK version issue?
macOS 11.2.3 and Xcode 12.4
Deleting the DerivedData folder and re-archiving and submitting seems to have resolved the issue (as suggested in the Apple developer forum post shared by Samse in the comments).
Typical location for your reference:
~/myusername/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
I searched iphoneos and saw one of my framework plist file has DTSDKName iphoneos13.1 I set it to 14.4 as shown in the picture and it worked!
This question already has answers here:
Xcode 9.2 Upload to App Store fails with description length and invalid toolchain errors
(8 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
As soon as I updated xcode to 9.2 , I cannot validate my archived builds. I get this error message every time:
Invalid Toolchain. New apps and app updates must be built with the public (GM) versions of Xcode 6 or later, macOS, and iOS SDK or later. Don't submit apps built with beta software including beta macOS builds.
Is this something wrong with Apple's new relase of xcode? Otherwise, I didn't change anything that would make this project using "Beta software".
I have faced this too. Apple has just released the Xcode 9.2 update and might not have updated iTunes connect to accept builds from it yet. It might be resolved soon in a couple of hours or days.
Download Xcode 9.1 from https://developer.apple.com/download/more/
After extracting the .xip, rename it as Xcode-9.1.app (or whatever you want), then drag it into your Applications folder. Xcode.app and Xcode-9.1.app can co-exist in the same folder, and can both run at the same time if you want.
Build your app with Xcode 9.1 and continue to do regular development with Xcode 9.2. At some point, iTunesConnect will start accepting builds made with Xcode 9.2, at which time you can delete Xcode-9.1.app.
Edit: Seems like Apple resolved the issue! I just uploaded a build with 9.2.
I'm having the same issue. Changing the toolchain setting did not help.
Downloading Xcode 9.1 now but I'm not happy with that solution. Not sure how differently the app would be behave after testing it with 9.2.
From Xcode -> Go to Organizer -> Under Archives, select the build and right click to Show in finder -> Select the Project and right click to -> Show Package Contents -> Double click on Info.plist and add a row. The key is BuildMachineOSBuild and the Type is String and the Value is 16G29 (Value is based on your Mac OS Version. Please follow the below given link)
https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT201260 .....Check the version number for your Mac OS version and set the value in the Info.plist
For example if your Mac OS version is 10.12.6 then add this to your plist
<key>BuildMachineOSBuild</key>
<string>16G29</string>
You are ready to send your build to iTunes Connect

I found this error during upload IPA to account.
If you're looking at this in November 2019, there's an obscure error in Xcode 11.2, which prevents uploading from that version to the App Store. You'll have to upgrade to Xcode 11.2.1, which is currently not available on the Mac App Store yet, but must be downloaded from the Developer Portal here: https://developer.apple.com/download/
The Xcode 11.2 Archive error log even states:
Edit:
Xcode 11.2.1 is now available on the AppStore:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12
I was having the same issue with Xcode 8.3 public version. I reinstall the Xcode and check it, but didn't work ...
Finally I found the issue , I have mistakenly selected Xcode 3.2-compatible in project format under project document. I changed it to Xcode 8.0-compatible and build & archived it. I could upload it without any errors. Check the screen shot attached ..
Xcode 11.2 is deprecated by Apple on November 5, 2019
Always working workaround (Manual download)
Download the xip file from here
Also:
Latest Release version (Xcode 11.2.1)
or
Latest Beta version (Xcode 11.3 Beta)
or
Any version you need. And all other downloadable contents
Then extract and move it where you like.
You can find all workaround histry of the issue here.
The same issue occurs with me today (13 July 2017).
As I was using XCode 9 beta 2, till date. Everything was working fine.
The last build which I uploaded was on 9th of July 2017, using XCode 9 beta 2.
After trying a lot of changes, finally the fix was:
Upgrading to the latest beta of XCode, which was XCode 9 beta 3 (released on 10th July 2017).
BOTTOMLINE:
If you are using any beta version of XCode, and if it is outdated. Apple will reject your build from that version causing the error asked by questioner. As long as the version is stable you don't need to worry.
It is recommended to check your current version is latest or not. If not, then download the latest XCode and push a new build achieved using the latest XCode beta
Why I didn't use a stable version of XCode instead?
The stable version at this time is XCode 8.3.3, and the language used is Swift 3.
Though there is minimum code breaking change from Swift 3 to 4, but my latest code base was Swift 4. Plus, you might be having Pods in your project which also has to be downgraded to the latest stable version. Until a stable version of XCode 9 is out. So, I opt to download the latest version of XCode beta
I ran into this issue today with the App Store version of Xcode 9.2.
It's definitely not a beta release, I'm guessing there's some delay between when the software is released and iTunes connect gets updated to expect the new version.
I've tried all the suggestions above, and none worked... but here's what (although pretty sketchy) did for work me:
in organizer, right-click your archive and show in finder
show package contents
find Products/Applications/yourApp.app
show package contents
edit Info.plist
change the value for DTXcodeBuild to a previous version (9.2 is 9C40b, 9.1 is 9C40)
save and try again
This worked for me...
For anyone trying with Xcode 11, check the Xcode version. If it's Version 11.0 (11A419c) you cannot submit a build to the app store with this version. Get Xcode Version 11.0 (11A420a).
Apps built with Xcode 11 GM seed (11A419c) can no longer be uploaded to App Store Connect. You can now submit apps built with Xcode 11 GM seed 2 (11A420a) using the iOS 13 SDK and watchOS 6 SDK to the App Store.
An error message it self says, Use stable (not beta) version of Xcode
to create a build.
Your mac OS should also be stable (not beta)
Use latest stable version of Xcode Tool (Xcode 9) to create your build and upload using Application Uploader.
Ensure following points, while creating your build:
Xcode version (Latest stable version of Xcode Tool - Current Xcode 9)
Mac OS version (Latest stable MacOS version - High Sierra 10.12.7)
Xcode Project (Document) Format version (Xcode 8.0-compatible)
Right-Click on the archive file (.xcarchive) > Show Package Contents > Products > Applications > Right-Click on the app file > Show Package Contents > Double-Click on Info.plist to edit it
Remove b from the end of the value for DTXcodeBuild (for example change from 9C40b to 9C40)
Re-submit and it will work
A new beta or Golden Master version of Xcode is about to be released, just look for it a few hours later.
Follow this to resolve this issue:
Quit Xcode and any Simulators if they are opened.
Go to this link to download Xcode 11.2.1 GM seed under Applications. Its about 7GB: https://developer.apple.com/download/
After downloading, click the Xcode_11.2.1_GM_Seed.xip file to extract the Archive.
After extracting, move the Xcode file from Downloads to the Application folder.
Replace existing Xcode application.
Enter login password when prompted.
Wait for the Moving to complete.
When finished, launch Xcode and checkout About Xcode to confirm the latest version.
Build your App, increment your build number and submit to App Store.
UPDATE: Version 11.2.1 is now available from App Store itself since Nov 13.
Archive you application using the stable Xcode version and upload it using Xcode beta. This solved the problem for me.
Every thing was updated Xcode 8.3.3, OS Serra 10.12.6 but I was still getting the issue. what I did and the issue got resolved is:
Open app store
searched xcode
Open Xcode from app store
it prompted me to install some missing features.
I followed the instructions and completed the wizard
Re-open Xcode and Archived my app and then started uploaded and it went successfully.
Hope it may help someone.
Cheers!
I was finally able to resolve this issue by downloading XCode 8.2.1 from the App Store.
Re-archiving the project and submitting as usual.
For XCode 9.2
Problem mostly in Command Line Tools version.
Best solution:
Reinstall XCode or Command Line Tools
Set Project Format in your project to Xcode 8.3-compatible
Possible solution:
Open XCode.app (Show Package Contents)
Find and open version.plist
Change ProductBuildVersion from 9C40b to 9C40
Set Project Format in your project to Xcode 8.3-compatible
Enjoy!
Apparently it was a deployment problem in Apple Servers. I tried after 3 hours and magically disappeared.

I received this error having archived our app from the command line using fastlane gym. When I archived the app manually using Xcode I did NOT receive the error.
I guess there's something wrong with the arguments/config I am passing to fastlane gym. If I work out what this is I will report back.
You cannot upload app to App Store through beta Version of Xcode. Make sure you're using stable version to push app to App Store
I just want to add what is says at the bottom of the Using Apple Beta Software page (https://developer.apple.com/support/beta-software/)
IF you are using a BETA version of XCode and try to submit it will fail every time UNLESS you are on a GM_seed (Golden Master release, aka the release before the release to production)
Since I do not have enough "reputation" to comment #Chuck Smith. I created this.
Hope this helps.
Today is 11/8/2019 and I downloaded and submitted my app with success.
Submitting Apps
Apps that are created using beta versions of Xcode or that are built for beta versions of an OS will not be accepted on the App Store. Apps that you submit should be developed using the most up-to-date version of Xcode from the Mac App Store and should be built for publicly available versions of iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS — except when GM seeds are available. When a GM Seed of Xcode becomes available, use it to develop your app for submission. When GM seeds of iOS, macOS, watchOS, or tvOS become available, build your app for these versions.
Here is what I did after going through the internet.
Download the latest Xcode from https://xcodereleases.com/ (You can download without signing in).
You might get an error "Data is corrupted" when you extract above-downloaded file ending with .xip
To solve this unzip it using Archive Utility.app rather than The Unarchiver.app
I was getting same error while i was uploading for apple review using Xcode 11.2.
Fixes steps:
Apple decided to deprecate Xcode 11.2 on November 5th 2019.
Xcode 11.2 has UITextView Building buggy code. So, Apple suggested to use Xcode 11.2.1 GM seed.
You can download from link https://developer.apple.com/download/
Message From Apple:
This update fixes a critical issue that could cause apps using UITextView to crash when run on previous versions of iOS, iPadOS, or tvOS. Please see the release notes
You can build and release app using Xcode 11.2.1 GM seed. Hoping this will help some people.
November 2019 with Xcode 12.1?
2 days ago Apple released a 11.2.1 version which you can download/update from App Store. Fixing this problem as of today is as easy as installing/updating Xcode 12.2.1 from the official App Store.
Checked it on my app and was able to successfully deploy after this update, just make sure to upload the app build with the new Xcode (12.2.1), otherwise you'll see an error Invalid Toolchain. Your app was built with an unsupported version of Xcode or SDK. If you plan to submit....
You should see again the green, positive confirmation :)
Before I am using Xcode 12 beta version and the reason is that only.
I have downloaded the stable version of Xcode 12 and IPA got validated successfully.
You can download latest version from here: https://developer.apple.com/download/
Thank you.
You need to get the archive with the latest stable(not beta) version of Xcode.
Trying to upload a binary, which includes a watch app. The error I'm getting (which I wasn't getting a couple days ago) is the value provided for LC_VERSION_MIN_IPHONEOS for the watchkit extension is 8.2 which is greater than the maximum allowed value of 10.3... apparently 8.2 > 10.3?
I'm updated to the latest XCode, 8.3, that didn't fix the problem. Tried changing the iOS deployment target for the watch app and extension, no apparent effect on the message.
Update: it's fixed!
I have submitted a bug to Apple. They have replied that they are aware of the problem and have people looking into it. They will contact me when they have resolved the issue. I'll post an update here when they do.
This is not related to Xcode 8.3, the error is in the Apple validation process. I had an app in review (no problems in uploading it) that got rejected because the user provided for login had expired. I made no changes to the app, just activated the user and submitted. I have the error now.
Edit: I can also confirm that if Watch support is removed everything goes well.
EDIT: This is problem on Apple side and nothing to do with Xcode. This is only effecting apps with WatchKit.
I just uploaded one my apps today that has a watchkit extension. Try this, it may or may not help.
Xcode -> Product Clean
Xcode -> Quit
In a console terminal do > rm -rf /Users/your_mac_user/library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/*
Relaunch Xcode and project
Go to your Xcode -> Build Settings for your iPhone app and make sure its set to 8.0 for debug and release
Now go to both your watch and watch extensions and make sure the Build setting is set to 8.2
Archive and upload again.
EDIT: Although successfully uploaded to iTunes Connect, when trying to submit a Testflight beta build, still got rejected by the same message
Invalid sdk value. The value provided for the sdk portion of
LC_VERSION_MIN_IPHONEOS in XXX.app/PlugIns/XXX WatchKit
Extension.appex/XXX WatchKit App.app/XXX WatchKit App is 8.2
which is greater than the maximum allowed value of 10.3.
Guess Apple's still working on it...
I am having this issue earlier, also with a watchOS1 target in my project.
I've tried to upload the binary again few minutes ago, no more warning shows, and passed the processing of iTunes Connect.
Everybody having this issue should give it a try!
I was submitting with an old Xcode version, I thought that was the problem, so went to the latest and it gives me the same message, that I am submitting for 8.2 which is higher than 10.3.
Now, here is where it gets really crazy. I said, OK, maybe there is an issue with 8.2, so I switched my minimum target to 8.3, cleaned, archived, submitted. I STILL GET THE MESSAGE ABOUT 8.2!!!
I exported the package I am uploading:
otool -l MyApp.app/MyApp |fgrep --after-context=3 LC_VERSION_MIN_IPHONEOS
cmd LC_VERSION_MIN_IPHONEOS
cmdsize 16
version 8.3
sdk 10.2
--
cmd LC_VERSION_MIN_IPHONEOS
cmdsize 16
version 8.3
sdk 10.2
I grepped both the package and my project directory, there is no friggin' "8.2" string anywhere. The same app without the watch extension validates fine. It seems they have broken the watch submissions (at least WatchOS1), which is something they should have noticed, yet I emailed support 2 days ago with screenshots and they were unimpressed, telling me to send them a video if I want my ticket to be processed! Take 1 minute to look at the upload log, I gave you app ID and timestamp, how hard is that?
Edit: It seems I installed the previous version of xcode, there is one newer out, but it also doesn't fix the issue, the problem appears to be on the Apple side...
Edit 2: The binary that has not been going through since the day before yesterday, just got uploaded. Maybe it is fixed?
Edit 3: But then you get the message in itunes connect when you try to submit the app. So it seems they are working on it, not completely resolved yet.
Edit 4: SUCCESS! Successfully submitted, waiting for review!
Apple fixed this bug yesterday. You can use the same binary. There's no need to make any changes.
I deleted the watch-related targets, and uploaded successfully.
If you download a new version of Xcode, make sure to switch to it:
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode_11.6.app/Contents/Developer
sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch
Ecuador's answer about using otool is a great tip to make sure the SDK is correct before you submit.
I too had the same issue. Removed the watch app and did the upload. It has been accepted for review. So looks like the issue is with the validation of the watchkit extension. Will submit the app again with the watch app once this issue has been taken care of by Apple.
I built and uploaded my app to itunes connect using the release version of Xcode 6.3 last night but it was rejected as "invalid binary". The email from App Review said I was using an invalid or beta version of Swift.
I would really appreciate any help or ideas about how to work around this problem.
I originally created the app in a release version of Xcode (6.1 I think) but then worked on it in the beta versions of 6.3 over the last month or so. Could this be causing the "invalid binary" rejection, even though I built and uploaded the archive in the release version of 6.3? If so, what can I do about it?
I have tried deleting derived data, revoking my certificates, and editing each of the app's source code files in the release version of 6.3 to see if that would help (it didn't).
You are likely using an old version of swift. Inside Xcode there should be a menu option to "upgrade to latest version of swift"
This error can also occur if you are using a beta version of swift that is ahead of the app store.
If you are using a beta version of Xcode, open your project in the latest release version and try to build again. - You cannot submit apps compiled in beta to the app store.
If you are using old swift - try to figure out which menu option lets you upgrade.
Ah its this:
"click the Edit menu, then choose Convert > To Swift 1.2."
