xcode 6 upload app with error: iTunes Store operation failed Error Description not available - ios

When I try to upload my app to iTC, after validate my app, I begin to submit it .
But there is an Error that said "iTunes Store operation failed
Error Description not available"
When I upload with Application Loader 3.0, same error happened.

I had this error once, too. Then I realized the provisioning profile (Project Targets -> Code Signing) was set to 'Ad-Hoc' profile instead of 'Production' profile. Setting it back to 'Production' did the trick for me.

I've got the Answer,
just upload the ipa with Application Loader 2.9.1, even thought the apple tell you that you should upload the ipa with xcode 5.1.1 or Application Load 3.0.0, but , my solution works well
download Application Loader 2.9.1 or here

The "Error description not available" sub-error message recently became "You are not authorized to use this service".
Removing the Apple ID from XCode preferences and re-adding it fixed the problem.

I'm a Chinese user and meet the same issue, I tried all these and fail:
Regenerate provisioning profile manually or via Xcode.
Use Application Loader (I didn't use 2.9.1 because I think it's a workaround).
Make sure your developer account are the same as iTunes Connect account.
Make sure bundle ID, version and build string in iTunes Connect and Xcode and the same.
Finally I googled and someone said it depends on network, so I opened VPN, and it success! I guess China's special firewall block something?
If you're in China and you've tried all the steps above, you can try to connect a VPN and upload your app. Wish it helps.

As the error says, There is problem in uploading to iTunes Store and not in code signing. Code signing step is prior to uploading to iTunes Store. Once the ipa is created successfully it should be uploaded to iTunes Store.
I faced the problem and without changing anything It successfully uploaded after some time. I guess if we are doing some operation on iTunes Connect, in my case I was removing the build which was set for TestFlight beta testing. After I perform some changes there the issue occurred.
Not the definite solution.

I had this error, and I found that it was because of the version number in my app. It had too many revision levels. You're allowed a maximum of 2. For example, 1.2.3 will pass validation, but 1.2.3.4 will generate the above error in Xcode 6.

I was getting the same error and I tried for like 15-20 times but was out of luck. Then suddenly it stuck with me what if the network is causing this. Since I was on WiFi, I sat next to the router and it worked in the first go itself. Since there is no proper message by the Apple I tried even this and it worked.
Note: If the size of the binary is quiet large then probably good internet connection is required too.

If you are in china use vpn. I fixed by use a vpn! The gfw block the upload api. you can check this.

This is also workaround but you could upload app with Xcode 5.1.1, if you still have one. Generated with Xcode 6.1 *.xcarchive files are available from older Xcode so there is no need to generate *.ipa file.

Just a tip:
Before you start to change and installing things, try to:
set the Provision profile to another one
update your Provision profiles in your account
close Xcode
open Xcode
set the Provision profile to the right one
Archive again
it worked for me!

In my case i user a wrong account with wrong password !
when i relogin, i fixed the problem, holp it will help you!

I have got this error when I tried to validate a build.
It seems just a few minutes ago I could at least validate and got a different error (with version number, I must increase it to 3.4.1 since 3.4.0 is already approved).
But it may be because I had a Pending Developer Release (v 3.4.0) . May be I have to release that version or cancel the binary. Otherwise I cannot validate the current archive.
I shall come back if that is the reason.

In my case what helped was... to wait. I had just deleted a version of the app and while itunes-connect appeared as I could upload another versione it takes some times to the servers to actually acknolegde this.
Waited until I got an email saying "App changed status to Ready for upload"

This always works for me:
Download the correct profile and certificate from member center;
Quit XCode (Not just close the project);
Try archive and validate again.

I usually get over this with a simple workaround.I get this error when I try to upload archive from Xcode 7.So I archive my project with Xcode 7 but I handle upload process from Organizer of Xcode 6.3.Xcode keep organizer content same across different versions of Xcode.

In some cases it might be a notwork/firewall issue. Make sure your the needed ports are open.
Also iTunes Connect must be working. Currently it is showing "iTunes Connect is unavailable until December 29"....
Here is a blog post about it.
On week were no one will be able to update apps. Greate...

Xcode 8.3.3 "No accounts with iTunes Connect access"

When trying to upload an App to iTunes connect in Xcode 8.3.3, I get the error:
iTunes Connect access for "Team-Name" is required. Add an account in the Accounts preference plane.
The account already exists and (in some cases) has been working without incident previously.
How do I get around this issue with Xcode so that I can upload my app to the AppStore?
Had the same problem,
First had to export the .ipa to disk using XCode and then upload to the AppStore with Application Loader tool.
It worked.
I suspect that Apple has broken something with the IOS 11, etc upgrades going on. It was all working fine over the last few months, including yesterday, and suddenly today its broken.
As a temporary solution, I had to use export to local disk (from Archive), then select: XCode/Open Developer Tool/Application Loader.
Had the same stupid problem.
Ultimately exported the .ipa to disk (via Xcode itself) and used altool command line tool to upload the ipa. It worked!!
altool --upload-app -f YourIpa.ipa -u <username>
Apple should really spend some $$$ on improving Xcode and the overall Developer experience. Its painful.
I again went back to Xcode to try and upload but met with the same error, so command line was indeed helpful.
A restart to Xcode did the job for me
I just spoke with an Apple rep, and he said I had to update to Xcode 9 GM and rebuild. After doing that, I was able to upload builds again.
On Xcode 9.3.3, a simple restart of Xcode fixed the issue for me.
This goes along with the other answers, eventually I had to export it and deliver the ipa with Application Loader.
However, Application Loader didn't initially work for me. I had to go into my apple id account (appleid.apple.com) and add an application specific password. Then I signed out of Application Loader and signed back in with the application specific password.
As far as I know, xCode doesn't let you sign in with an application specific password. My guess is that Apple broke authentication via regular passwords on their backend, but didn't break application specific ones.
It works for me to follow the steps:
Archive the app with Xcode 8.3.3.
Upload to iTunes Connect with Xcode 9 GM.
I started to panic this morning too, but then I remembered something like this happens every time a new iOS is released. Use Application Loader. Don't start changing certs/provisioning profiles. I'm sure Apple will fix soon. Plus Application Loader is super-easy to use. Good luck!
When nothing works. Just restart your computer and try again! Nonsense but works like magic.
Edit: This worked for me in Xcode 9 GM. I don't know if it will be an issue in the final version
What worked for me is that I changed my regular AppleID email, with the equivalent #icloud.com alias.
For example, I didn't use myemail#gmail.com, I used myemail#icloud.com and it worked.
(Which I really don't prefer, I prefer using my personal email, but if it works, it works)
Same answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/46225187/4772647
I did as some of you suggested, I used the Export function in Archive/Organizer to export an .ipa, then go to the Xcode application, use the Show Contents, then nav to "Application" and "Application Loader" and uploaded my app using Loader and that all worked perfectly!
This happened to me when my app was rejected when uploading on AppStore (not sure if this could be connected).
I tried to remove and readd the Developer's account in XCode but that didn't help.
Then it started working after I replied to the Binary Rejected message on App Store Connect and restarted XCode.
Not sure if that could be connected but it started working again instantly after those steps.
In My case none of the above solutions worked,
I have an access for both Developer account and iTunes Connect account, but I faced the same Issue.
The only option worked for me is updating my MAC OS before it was 10.13.4, after update to 10.13.6 the problem was resolved. Hope this will help to someone.

Strange Errors on Archive Validation

I've had an iOS project in fairly stable condition up until Xcode 8's public release. After a bit of confusion with the Migrator, I finally convinced the compiler that I did not want to go Swift 3 yet, and that my code was indeed valid Swift 2.3. Not sure if this at all relates to what the Organizer does in validating my long-awaited archive with some long-overdue fixes for iOS 10, but we'll see...
Anyway, I got Xcode to archive my latest build (which runs fine on my iPhone 5s by the way). I tell Organizer to "Validate..." in preparation for an upload to iTunes Connect. After a good deal of doing its thing, it finally spits this at me:
Been at this for three days now. Application Loader gives me something similar, but not much more helpful:
Following the suggestions in this answer, I find that every single one of my compiled assets read as sRGB, not 16-bit, or P3. Aside: When does an API analysis file get "too large"? I mean, sure I use Apple's APIs a lot, but I can't be alone in that. That's what they're for, right?
I've tried (almost) everything I can think of. I've redone my code signing a dozen different ways, read and recombobulated the build settings wherever I thought could be relevant, and tried every combination of bitcode and symbol inclusion available to me. Just about everything I could come up with short of migrating to Swift 3! Could that really be my solution? It's a rather big jump, and with the time I have, I'd prefer to get this working build out to my users before I'm slammed too hard to shore up the updated codebase.
I can't seem to find anything on "ITunesSoftwareServiceAuthenticationErrorDomain", or this mysterious "error 434". The only reference I've found so far leads to a dead StackOverflow question. Really wish the author hadn't removed it... Wonder if he found his answer?
So my question is as follows: What am I doing wrong to get these errors, and how can I fix them? I'd rather not have to upload without symbols or bitcode, so if that's the workaround, I'd like to know why, so I'm not limiting myself for something dumb.
Cheers!
I had the same problem with Xcode 8.2 while submitting my application:
ITunesSoftwareServiceAuthenticationErrorDomain error 434.
Solution: I switched to different network and it worked for me.
Bump the build number and validate again.
Had the exact same problem. I tried upgrading to Sierra which seemed to update bits of Xcode etc. The new error message was formatted differently, so I could not see the "434"
(With 1 success in 15 attempts (I had to tweak a version number in a string in the app, so didn't choose to upload after that brief moment of joy), i just uploaded the archive anyway, and after 2 hours of processing, it was accepted. I will update when my new app version is live to verify this error can be safely ignored, at least in some cases (e.g. I checked all my graphics' color profiles, etc.).
Do the below steps :-
1. Analyze the project. (From Product Menu)
2. Click on Archive. (From Product Menu)
3. Select the development team for provisioning.
4. From summary window unselect "Include bitcode" and click on Validate button.
Now, It will working fine.
I solved it by uploading my app through Application Loader.
Archive app Export ipa iOS Deployment
Xcode-> open developer tool -> Application loader
I had the same problem while I was trying to submit the app to client's iTunesConnect account. I've signed in with new apple id, downloaded the certificates and provisionin profiles but still got this error:
(ITunesSoftwareServiceAuthenticationErrorDomain error 434.)
How to fix this error?
Try to remove Provisioning Profiles files at ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/
Make new Build and Archive the app. Xcode will create new Provisioning Profiles and submit the app to iTunesConnect.
Just to share this.
Quit xcode and re-login as suggested by members does not work for me. I solved it by using "Application Loader"
Steps: 1) change the version and build in your App 2) archive again for new file submission and export file to desktop 3) goto top menu: Open Developer Tool > Application Loader (if you don't have this , search, download and install this plug init) 4) upload the new version archived file. Done
You will find them in iTune Connect. From here process to My Apps > choose the rejected app > change the version and click on the new uploaded archive file, file will be processing..
5) time to resubmit :) cheers
Clicked Valid until it succeeded, 3rd time.
Since there seem to be many solutions to this problem, it may just be an issue not related to anything developers have control over and the "solutions" seem to be "solutions" because after some action was taken, it succeeded. The action I took was the non-action... and it was successful.
Hope this helps, as this is a stressful problem to have when you cannot upload your app and muddling around in Xcode to fix it you might break something else.
I fixed it by upload using Application Loader.
Besides, after upload the app i receive the warning about Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description and Privacy - Camera Usage Description, so that, please make sure you have them in your info
Hope it help!
I had the same problem. In my case it was caused by following. I had a lot of png-files in assets.xcassets and some of them had AdobeRGB Color profile. I changed the profiles to sRGB and xcode validated the archive with no error.
Frankly speaking, when I changed the profiles some other strange errors occured, but they dissapeared by themselves when I tried to re-validate the acrchive several hours later (I did nothing just waited).
If this occurred randomly, try to delete that archive and make sure you have "Generic iOS Device" selected as target when you run Product > Archive again. This solved it for me.
I Got the same issues when i try first time.Next time it Validated successfully. Please check network once before trying second time.
1.Cmd+Shift+K
2.Close Xcode
3.Open Xcode
4.Cmd+B
5.Product->Archive
Just Clear all file in Path ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles
Go to Xcode Select Provisioning profile again and then it auto-generate again.
So It will be working fine.
In my case it was the following:
my account had been logged out and I had to enter the password again
Xcode v8.0 had to be updated to 9.x to be able to publish to the App Store (as of July 2018)
I fixed this problem by updating Xcode from 8.2 to 9.
Apparently there was a compatibility issue with an SDK used internally. Xcode was not helping with it's error message. I discovered it by using the Application Loader to upload the archive. Application Loader's error message made some sense.

Can't upload archive to app store since yesterday

2 days before I successfully uploaded the archive for my application and my application is on app store, but yesterday and today when I upload the archive I see "Uploading the archive" message (with subtitle "Sending api usage to itunes connect") at the beggining, but then I see "iTunes Store operation failed. This action couldn't be completed. Try again later" :
When I try to upload the archive for another application, everything is OK, it's very strange, because since 2 days ago I only changed the minimum age in the application from 17 to 18 (so I didn't change everything important in the application settings).
May be in happen because we use iAd network and apple notified that this network will be unavailable since July ?
just upload the ipa with Application Loader 2.9.1, even thought the apple tell you that you should upload the ipa with xcode 7.2 or Application Load 3.0.0, but , my solution works well
download Application Loader 2.9.1
Try this
Xcode -> Open Developer Tool -> Application Loader -> Login with AppleID -> Choose your app IPA
may this help you
Another solution that might help is disabling bitcode when submitting the IPA through XCode. Not sure why but this worked for my colleague when he had the same issue. If you want to keep bitcode then Application Loader will work, as pradip kikani pointed out.
I saw this exact problem TWICE yesterday (14th April 2016) using Xcode 7.2.
I'd get either a
"This action couldn't be completed. Try again later"
or a
"This action couldn't be completed. Try again. (-22421)"
which one appeared to be random. I just kept trying and trying and eventually the upload succeeded in both cases. Apple are obviously being a bit ****.
Not the most technical useful answer but thought it worth mentioning.
I ran into the same issue today when I wanted to validate my app in Xcode 7.3.1. In my case, my provisiong profiles had all expired on May 01, 2016 as I found out in the Xcode "Preferences > Accounts > View Details". I clicked on "Download All" and got renewed profiles with an updated expiry date.
I tried restarting my mac and all that but nothing helped.
What actually worked for me :
Logged out from my developer account in Xcode preferences.
Turn off bitCode from build settings.
Changed the provisioning profile.
But im not sure which one of the methods worked cause i did them all at ones.
good luck.
Got Same issue today!! I found there is no "arm64" in my valid Architectures.instead there was one "arm6".
Updated Valid Architecture list resolved my problem.
While facing such issue you should take care of some points listed below:
Make sure you have added correct bundle ID & provisioning in to App
If it is correct than might be after updating it on developer account it was not updated on Xcode. So in that case go to Xcode > Preferences > remove Account & Add it again. Clean Xcode set provisioning in targets & Projects both
Once you done with above steps clean project & Prepare New Archive again & try to submit it
Important Notes:
Do not try to submit Build files from Beta Xcode versions
If you are using Application loader than make sure its version is greater than or equals to 3.0
Hope it will help you.
I solved a similar issue by changing the build number from 1.0 to 1.1.

Cannot verify client 3000

I am using xcode 7.1 and trying to upload my app to the app store directly through xcode. While uploading I am getting a weird error:-
cannot verify client 3000
Note:- I recently made changes in the accounts (xcode preference section). Is this related to my error?
I also restart the xcode but issue still there?
I already checked this question on SO, but they say restart your xcode. But this does not solve my problem.
For my case,I got this error after selecting "Generic iOS Device" when archiving, however i plugged in my iPhone and selected it, then archived, I got no errors this time.(I also cleaned both Shift+cmd+k and Shift+alt+cmd+k before archiving)
I encountered the same issue the first time I tried to submit to app store with the target on my device.
What worked for me:
I retried a couple of minutes later without changing a thing and everything went smooth.
This is temporary apple server bug. Try it again OR Retry after some time it will fix the problem.
Thanks
There is no need to reinstall Xcode. Just wait a few minutes and try again and it will work.
I tried :
waiting days,
restarting,
deleting the developer account in
preferences,
submitting archives from a connected device,
submitting
archives from a iOS generic device.
Nothing worked.
I needed to:
create an archive (it was from a connected device),
in the organiser window select the export button (on the right hand side underneath the "Upload to App Store" button.
Select that the export is for app store distribution.
Wait.
Take a note of the location the .ipa file is saved to.
Go back to Xcode, then select the menu item Xcode > Open Developer Tool > Application Loader.
Select Deliver Your App, and select choose.
Navigate to your .ipa file noted above.
Select next, wait, next, check for any error message, send.
Hope this helps someone.
I got this error while uploading my distribution archive to App Store with selecting Distribution provisioning profile scheme -> Product -> Archive -> Upload to App Store. The error is based on I chose my real iphone device in Xcode by mistake. You need to choose "Generic iOS Device" and repeat same steps as I mentioned before.
You have to plug in your iPhone to your Mac and try to upload to AppStore again.
For some reason, validating the archive before uploading fixed the issue for me.
With Xcode 7.1, I could only make a successful build without bitcode. Try it out if everything else fails.
I resolved this by exporting ("export" in xcode archive organizer -> "to iOS App Store") and using the Application Loader instead of xcode to submit.
It is recurring. Seems to me like an internal error with apples identification service or so.
My definite solution:
Get yourself a cup of tea and try it again.
You can, of course, do some voodoo or change the target device or something, but re-trying after a while will do.
I have the same issue.
I did the below steps:
Step 1: Select Code Signing Identity for "Release"
Step 2 : Select Distribution profile
I tried to use Application Loader instead and it worked well. Maybe that helps
I've been having this problem since Xcode 7.1 (for more than a month). I did everything I could trying to solve this: restart Xcode, clean project, clean build folder, build with a device connected, reinstall Xcode multiple times, even formatting the whole disk and starting from scratch. None of this worked.
During this time my colleague was always able to upload the very same builds to App Store without any problem.
Curiously, what solved this problem for me was disconnecting my non-Apple wireless mouse.
I found this out when I tried to submit an app from my home computer and got the same error. I disconnected the mouse dongle, tried again and it went through.
I've verified this three times both on my home (MacBook Pro 2013) and work computer (Mac Mini 2014).
This leads me to believe that during the app submission process Apple may check if your environment is purely made by Apple or not, and may block your submission based on that. This would explain the "Cannot verify client" message.
This one worked for me:
Delete the Archive that failed during upload.
Clean the solution.
Rebuild the solution.
Archive the it.
Go to Xcode's Organizer, then Validate (this should be 'Successful').
Upload the build.
