My client trying to install app using TestFlight it is showing Couldn't Load App (TestFlight couldn't connect to itunes to itunes connect. Try again later.)
I have read lots of blogs and post regarding this issue. And tried many things like :
remove build and upload build again.
remove TestFlight testers and add them again.
un-install TestFlight and re-install again.
Restarting the iPad. And Resetting all settings on the iPad (factory defaults).
But issue was still there. Then finally I have asked to my client, What is iOS version in his iPad? Actually he was use 11.2.6. Then I have told him to update iOS in iPad to 11.3 because I have set 11.3 in project's Deployment Target.
And finally issue have been resolved.
I hope this will help to others.
When I tried to update to Xcode 8.3, the following happened in App Store (it has been like this for over an hour):
So it just says "loading" and nothing happens.
What I already tried:
Mac restart
Logoff and Login to the App Store
Any ideas?
btw: My Apple membership expires in 5 days - could this be a problem?
Xcode 8.3 requires macOs Sierra
release notes Xcode 8
I was facing the same issue with macOs El Capitan
Just sign in on developer.apple.com, and go to https://developer.apple.com/download/more/, you can find Xcode8.3 there and download. Good luck!
Well, there's a challenging way to modify and run it if you get it from the Developers portal. :) Not as your primary Xcode instance, but experiments are possible. :))
I upgraded my mid-2012 mac book pro to Sierra. But still was stuck with spinner.
This helped solve it. - (link to the apple discussion forum)
"Going to Applications in Finder and moving Xcode to the trash bin fixed the problem for me. As soon as I entered in my password to confirm moving Xcode to the trash, the App Store prompted me on whether or not I wanted to cancel the update or delete the app. I opted to delete Xcode, and the App Store immediately began downloading the update."
If you have an Apple Developer account, download the latest xcode directly from here: http://adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/Xcode_8.3/Xcode_8.3.xip.
Note: if you are unable to install the latest OS, at this time: OSSierra, then you will not be able to be able to install Xcode 8.3 to my knowledge (I was not able to. I had to get a new computer, which I had to do).
wait for 8-10 minutes without pressing pause or cancel or so.
just wait. and it will start while you eating popcorn.
even though it not started to update and stuck at 0kb, the term you have to focus is "patience".
Just go to App Store and click on Store -> Check for Unfinished Downloads.
I downloaded Xcode 7.1 from the App Store today after working from 7.1 beta downloads from developer.apple.com and have a new iOS app build to upload. So I did:
Product > Archive
Upload to App Store (or Validate)
But the response was:
You are not authorised to use this service
Intriguingly, when I 'Export' the build to the Desktop and then use Application Loader 3, it uploads without error.
Is this an iTunes Connect bug? Or is there a new Xcode checkbox I've missed?
Note: I've also tried removing and re-adding my AppleID as suggested here, and restarted my Mac for good measure (which actually allowed the validation to work once), but still no luck uploading directly from Xcode > Organiser.
I met the same issue today and I think it is a bug of Xcode 7.1
Finally I managed to submit my app via Application Loader. There were warnings but it did work.
Here are the basic steps:
Archive
Export
Xcode menu --> Xcode --> Open Developer Tool -->
Application Loader
Double click "Deliver Your App" and choose the
file exported in step #2
click next and follow the instructions until
the end
Here's the quick solution:
Don't use Xcode beta versions to submit apps for release — it's beta for a reason and shouldn't be used with production code.
Submitting Apps
Apps that are created using beta versions of Xcode or that are built
for beta versions of operating systems will not be accepted on the App
Store and Mac App Store. Apps that you submit should be developed
using the latest version of Xcode from the Mac App Store and should be
built for publicly available versions of iOS, OS X, and watchOS —
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, OS X, or watchOS become available, build your app for these
versions.

Having the same problems as all of you, just thought I'd share that I found a way to Validate successfully, you have to disable the "Include bitcode" checkbox before moving forward. As for the actual upload to App Store, no work around for that one other than use the Application Loader...
Also I've been seeing this too since XCode 6.4, but it seems once the current version has a couple of months after it's originally released it starts working again... fingers crossed that it starts working again soon, because uploading straight from Organizer is so much better. (I saw the Beta Version post, when I say after a couple of months for current version I'm not talking about Beta versions, just in case ;) )
Same problem here.
Downloaded Xcode 7.1 from the App Store and it refuses to upload a new version.
Happily Application Loader worked ;)
Hopefully this gets fixed quickly.
One possible reason for the issue could be multiple development accounts under one name (personal and company). I've read elsewhere (apple radar) that that caused earlier problems of this kind.
Happens here if the dev account is only admin. I had to use the central account for uploading our apps. I think this problem startet sometime with XCode 6. Didnt investigate further though since Application Loader works in cases when I dont have access to the central account.
I also have the same problem today.
Finally, I used the application loader to upload successfully,too.
Theres a few solutions I have come across to solve this issue.
Most common being to remove and re-add your developer account.
This won't work on its own though, you need to also 'view details' on your account and have Xcode download your provisioning profiles again.
The other alternative is to upload your build using application loader. The disadvantage to using this solution is that should you be trying to upload using a beta build of Xcode or OSX you won't be able to change your apps .plist in the archive folder to trick iTunes connect into accepting it. In this instance all you have access to is your ipa.
Disable the "Include bitcode" checkbox worked for me.
I have a WatchKit app that runs fine in the Simulator. But when I try to run it on an actual device it never finishes installing and never provides any error message or feedback.
The iOS app installs and runs fine. I bring up the Apple Watch app on the iPhone and it lists the app and shows the correct icon. Selecting that, the "Show App on Apple Watch" switch is on. Underneath it it says, "Installing...". And it stays there.
I can also see the app icon on the Apple Watch. Selecting it just shows the spinning wheel indicator as if it is trying to load.
Things I've tried based on other suggestions I've found here, on the Apple Developer forums, and around the web:
Verified that all app bundle IDs are correct and match.
Verified that the deployment target is iOS 8.2.
Verified that the WatchKit App runs in the simulator.
Verified that my provisioning profile includes my Apple Watch's UDID.
Verified that my Apple Watch shows up as a "Paired Watch" in Devices.
Deleted the app from my phone, and then rebooted my phone, watch, and Macbook before reinstalling.
None of the above work. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

A friend who works on the USA Today iOS team, including the Apple Watch app, suggested I go to the project settings for the WatchKit App target and set "Skip Install" to NO. Sure enough, after doing this, I was able to install.
I've found it very useful for reading the iPhone console log. (Not to be confused with crash logs).
Use Xcode --> Window --> Devices -- select your plugged in iPhone, and make sure the log screen lower left arrow is down.
In my case, I had invalid provisioning profile entitlements, which were corrected via the Apple Dev portal, and re-downloading the profiles -- after making sure the entitlements were correctly being set in the WatchKit App Capabilities.
Check Info.plist file. In my experience if there is something added there that is not supposed to be there, it will cause this behavior. I added NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription and it caused this same issue.
I have found a similar problem due to my storyboard referencing an image which I later deleted (I no longer actually used it anymore). This gave the symptom of running ok on simulator but not deploying fully on hardware as you are seeing. To exclude this potential problem go through each image view on your apple watch storyboard and look out for the exclamation mark against image view entries.
I had the same problem but for me it actually turned out that the Apple Watch was running a WatchOS version lower than what what I had in XCode. I could not see a runtime warning about this (it just silently failed), but when selecting WatchKit scheme in XCode with device connected there was a small warning about version requirement.
You can also try deleting the watch app on the watch by long tapping on the icon and then you should get the giggle UI with a X on 3rd party apps. You can then delete the watch app and retry the install.
I was getting this error too, and I got it to install, after creating a new project from scratch in the non-beta Xcode, and copying my assets and code into the new project. I had the same problem, and tried everything that people suggested on other posts, without any success, including everything that you listed above.
Apparently, there was something incompatible with the way the project was stored in the beta Xcode, that I had created for the WatchKit app.
Here's what works for me with iOS 8.3 and Watch OS 1.0.1:
Make sure your app is finished installing on your iPhone.
Restart the iPhone by holding down the Home button and Wake/Sleep buttons.
Launch the TestFlight app on your iPhone.
Staying in TestFlight, go to your app's detail page and toggle the Install on Apple Watch to the On position.
Press the Home button on your iPhone to exit the TestFlight app.
Press the digital crown on the Watch to get to the Home screen. An icon for your Watch app should appear and begin installing.
make sure your app support 64Bit, otherwise it cannot run on Watch,just spinning there.
Did you add a custom entry to the of your Info.plist of the WatchKit App
This isn't allowed and it will fail validation and will just sit on Install...
Checkout the device console log for information on it
Yeah, had that problem too.
I deleted the Xcode Beta (and the .dmg) downloaded it again and installed it.
Don't have that problem anymore.
In my case, I disconnect the iPhone and the Mac, reconnect them via data line. Then something appear on my watch, a choice, agree or disagree, agree it. After that, Xcode begin to install symbols for watchOS 2.1:
When this is done, you can check it in Library->Developer->Xcode->watchOS DeviceSupport->Watch1,1 2.1 (13S661)->Symbols
Then I disconnect the watch and iPhone, reconnect it. Now I can install WatchKit App on my watch.
I have followed the answer by #hunterleebrown to see the log and found that the WatchOS version is not updated (i.e. Watch OS version is lower than the required version).
Here is the screenshot [ The log says (4th line): The system version is lower than the minimum OS version specified for bundle at ... ...]:
Then I went to the iPhone's watch app's-->general settings-->Software Update and found the watch OS is not updated (which is obvious). Then I downloaded the update and installed it. Then it worked!
Note: I also tried quitting XCode, restarting iPhone and Watch but didn't work for me.
Press "Trust this device on Apple Watch"
I had the same endless installation issue ending with a Time Out error and I finally fixed it thanks to this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/61636074/2854405
I had to:
Unpair my iPhone (from the "Devices and Simulators" screen),
Exit Xcode
Replug my iPhone
Trust the iPhone again when it was prompted
Start Xcode
Rebuild
I also had the same issue.
#SwampThingTom suggestion is good, but it changes the archive format as well size increases too.
In my case, the issue was DER entitlements not working only watch app, mobile app was fine.
Make the changes as per the comment over here This Code Signature is no longer supported when building app on iPhone 12
Upgrade to Xcode 13.1
In my case I resolved this problem when selecting the WatchApp target to creating AdHoc.
So, for example, there is three targets in project:
Demo;
Demo WatchKit App;
Demo WatchKit Extension;
If create AdHoc with Demo target, you will get infinite installation.
If create AdHoc with Demo WatchKit App target, the problem goes away.
See title. Client is seeing "This build is not available for this platform (iOS required)." Install button is greyed out.
iPad 2 version 6.1.3
My same model has installed and an iPad 3 has installed.
Any idea what causes this?
Have you tried reinstalling on your device? I had weird things happen today with TestFlight that cleared up later on. This just might be a "Try again" situation.
This sounds like a problem on Testflight's end. Seems like they are unable to recognize your client's device. For now, fall back to the original way to do it, or wait for Testflight to fix the issue.
