Hell everyone,
I have validated and submitted my build via Xcode to iTunes Connect. However, it seems iTunes doesn't recognize my new builds, so I couldn't use them to submit for review. As you can see that iTunes recognized version 1.0 and 1.0.1 which I had used Xcode 5.1 to submit, for version 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 I had used Xcode 6 and got the issue. I haven't seen this problem before, what's wrong with my build? Does I have to use Xcode 5 to submit app again? Please help
I met the same problem just now,and I solved it.
Perhaps it was caused by new itunesconnect and it takes time before your build become available for review.
After waiting for about 1 hour,my build become Inactive and can be added for review.
It's really stupid.

I uploaded a new build to AppStoreConnect. I was able to test it through TestFlight.
I sent the build to review, it was approved. Then when I tried to open the test app on my device and got the above error:
The status on TestFlight seems to be "Ready for Submit, expires in 86 days".
I tried to remove the app, and reinstall it from TestFlight. Then I got this:
Restarting the phone, or trying to install it from a different device leads to the same problem.
Why does that happen? Is it an Apple-side bug?
What is the workaround for this issue?
It seems to be a bug in TestFlight and/or iOS.
It happens when you upload a new version with automatic updates. Installing the app manually seems to be just fine.
Consider downgrading to a previous build and then manually updating it or uploading and installing a new build. Both options should solve this issue.
It started to happen in late October 2022, and it is still happening to our builds as of November 2022.
You need to upload a new version onto test flight or add a new app directly with your mac so that it does not use testflight at all.
I have recently uploaded a build in AppStore(TestFlight) and got the following mail from AppStore,
Dear developer,
We have discovered one or more issues with your recent delivery for
"MY APP". Your delivery was successful, but you may wish to correct
the following issues in your next delivery:
Deprecated Xcode Build - Due to resolved app archives issues, we will
be deprecating Xcode 8.3 on May 10, 2017, at which time app archives
built with 8.3 will no longer be accepted by the App Store. Download
Xcode 8.3.2 or newer, rebuild your app and resubmit.
After you’ve corrected the issues, you can use Xcode or Application
Loader to upload a new binary to iTunes Connect.
Regards,
The App Store team
Will there be any problem on releasing the current build for review ?
Or
Do I want to download the latest Xcode version as mentioned in the mail and upload an another build ?

If you submit your app for review and will be reviewed successfully before the May 10, 2017, than you do not need to do anything with you current build.
Do I want to download the latest Xcode version as mentioned in the mail and upload an another build ?
You should be updating to the latest Xcode anyway, at least for the sake of having all the latest tools and API's available. If you would like to submit a new build after the May 10, 2017, you have to update Xcode, rebuild the app and submit a different binary for Apple to review.
Overall, i would recommend to update now, and submit a different build, because you will have to do it anyway in the near future, and your app will not be rejected because of the Deprecated Xcode Build issue for sure.
EDIT:
Xcode 8.3.2 is available in the App Store.
I am trying to submit a project to the app store. I accidently opened it in the latest Xcode Beta - but did not save or change anything.
I submitted the app with Xcode 7.3.1 and when I attempt to submit the app for review I get the message: "New apps and app updates must be built with the public (GM) versions of Xcode 6 or later, macOS, and iOS SDK. Don't submit apps built with beta software including beta macOS builds."
If I check the Info.plist of the archive it also mentions me using the public version of Xcode
<key>DefaultToolchainInfo</key>
<dict>
<key>DisplayName</key>
<string>Xcode 7.3.1 Default</string>
<key>Identifier</key>
<string>com.apple.dt.toolchain.XcodeDefault</string>
</dict>
The Xcode beta version was not open when submitting and I also tried restarting and then resubmitting. Btw I am running El Cap 10.11.6
What can I do to fix this?
Thanks
Did you install yesterday's Security Update? I have a theory, that this update altered the internal version number from 10.11.6 (15G31) to 10.11.6 (15G1004), and they have not added this version number to the list of allowed stable OS builds on iTunes Connect.
Fairly certain it's the Security Update.
I tried the known hack of altering the OS build to 15G31 in SystemVersion.plist, but this no longer seems to work.
Reinstalling Xcode 7.3.1 was also a waste of time.
Luckily I had a machine that I had not yet done Security Update 2016-001 on. Moved the code over there, archived and uploaded, and this went fine.
I got same issue and the issue just got fixed - I have submitted my app for review successfully 5 minutes ago!
It was because iTunes team did not synchronise with latest macOS version security update yet and they finished synchronisation just now!
Please go ahead and try re-submitting your app!
I am seeing this also, there was a recent security update to El Cap that might be related, or Apple is in the process of making changes for iOS10 Xcode 8 and have messed up something.
If you need to submit, I would go ahead and submit and if you get a rejection, explain it to Apple then.
I have uploaded my iOS binary installing El Capitan on a virtual machine, disabling system updates, installing Xcode, importing my developer profile, and building my App there.
I just spent like 2-3 hours downloading the base El Capitan (10.11.6) from the App Store and setting up VMware Fusion to build our project in... including manually regenerating and switching all of the certificates and provisioning profiles twice (to there and back to the host machine).
I can conclude that this does solve the issue because the App Store El Capitan installer does not (yet) include the Security Update, which bumps the macOS build number to one that is NOT whitelisted on iTunes Connect, as some have suggested.
Super frustrating, but at least a solution is available for now. 😖
Check out the Xcode Release Notes and see if your version of Xcode has: "Support for app archives depreciated", like mine did.
I currently have an app with version 1.0 that just got approved for the ios store.
The approval time was a little more then two weeks and during that time I fixed a major issue on my app. to test this version out on TestFlight with my testers I gave it a version 1.1 . Now I wanted to submit my 1.1 version app to the app store. In order to do that I clicked the add version but on my app and added the version 1.1. Now when I attempt to upload my project using XCODE I get the following error
Any suggestions on how I can fix this ?
If you have already posted the correct 1.1 build to TestFlight then you don't need to upload it again. You can submit it using iTunes Connect without uploading again.
If you want to submit a revised 1.1 build to the App Store, then you need to change the build number.
I'm updating my existing app to include support for Apple Watch (at this stage just handling of notifications), however when I archive my app and try to submit it to the app store for review I continually get this error.
I've tried playing around with the build settings and I've also tried googling the error, however I can't figure out what the issue is.
Does anyone have any ideas or has anyone come across this issue too?
You cannot submit an app for review using a beta version of Xcode.
Following today's Apple Watch official release, Apple updated Xcode to version 6.2 which in theory should allow submitting apps that contain Watch extensions. However I just tried to submit my app that includes support for Watch using the new Xcode, and got the same error. I hope this will be fixed sometime soon on the ItunesConnect site.
