An email from apple to its developers said that you could start submitting apps to them for iOS 7. O I have Xcode 5 DPS Version 5.0 (5A11365x) And it says that the version bundle is to old to accept apps for approval. How will this work now because apple said it all would be possible?
You use developer preview version which does not allow to submit app to app store.
Update your XCode to official 5.0 version. (From Mac App Store).
Hope my answer may help..
Its not must actually even you can still submit your apps with iOS6.x version build with your Xcode 4.6.3.
What they trying to convey in that mail is, they are just letting you know that you can now start submitting iOS7 app because there is whole lot of new thing out there with iOS 7.0 sdk.
When I try to convert my iO6.x version to 7.0 with Xcode 5 i didnt face any problem on building or submitting the app.
In order to submit apps to the App Store, you will need Xcode 5.
Submission to the App Store for iOS 7 requires Xcode (build 5A1413 and above).
If you are using any of the Xcode 5 Betas (including the GM Seed), upgrading is necessary. You can either upgrade through the App Store, or download the .dmg through the Apple Developer Portal at developer.apple.com
Do you have the latest version of Xcode 5, which is now the fully released version on the store?

I have developed a app using Xcode7.3.1 with swift 2.2.
Is it possible to launch my app to Appstore else i want to upgrade my Xcode and swift syntax to latest version?
Itunes connect says
Submit your builds using Xcode 6 or later, or Application Loader 3.0
or later.
So it is safe to say that you can definitely go with Xcode 7.x and Swift 2.2
You can submit your app developed on Xcode 7.x without upgrading xcode. Its not compulsory to use Swift 3.0 - You can submit app even if its developed with 2.x. At the end your ipa will have binary code after compilation.
But keep in mind few things:
There are few APIs which are deprecated. You will have to remove these in future version anyhow.
Your app must be compatible with 64 bit.
So Its not compulsory, but advisable to upgrade to latest xcode. But if you are in hurry, you can push current version on appstore and take time to make app working with latest Xcode.
Given that iOS9 & XCode7 are officially released, is it possible to submit an app for Apple review using a previous version of XCode (eg. XCode 6.1)?
If the answer is affirmative, will the app submitted through XCode 6.1 be able to be downloaded by iOS9 device (provided that the deployment target set to 5.1.1)?
Platform in use:
iMac 21.5-inch, Late 2009
Mac OSX 10.9.5
XCode version 6.1
Apple hasn't asked developers to refrain from submitting apps from old versions of Xcode yet. So, you will be able to submit you app from Xcode 6.1. And it will run in iOS 9 devices. But, it's not the ideal way to handle the app submission. There could be some bugs when the app is run in iOS 9 devices. It is advisable to verify the app in the latest Xcode version and submit from there.
At the moment App Store Team requires that to publish your application must be compliant with iOS8 and 64bit architecture (so Xcode6.x better last Xcode 6.4). The deadline for iOS9 would be probably February for new app and July for updates.
I am using OS X El Capitan 10.11 and Xcode 6.4 6E35b, when i click the button submit for review in iTunesConnect it says this error "Apps and app updates submitted to app store must be built with Xcode 5.1.1 or later, and iOS 7 SDK".
I have no idea why this is happening, Xcode 6.4 is not a beta version, i downloaded it from AppStore, it's a public release. If anyone know about this help me out here.
When i tried through application loader :
INFO ITMS-90111: "Your app is built with a beta version of Xcode or iOS SDK. Only apps distributed for beta testing may be built with beta software. To submit an app for distribution on the App Store, you will need to build the app with release versions of Xcode and iOS SDK."
Another solution - use Application Loader:
Export your app as IPA, signed with provision profile for App Store
Open Application Loader (open Xcode, menu Xcode->Open Developer Tools->Application Loader
Sign in with your iTunes Connect credentials in Application Loader
Upload your app
PS: This way is also useful, when you have multiple iTunes Connect accounts for different clients, and you need often upload different apps for them
We're having the same problem. It seems that Apple have just changed the definition of being 'built with beta software' to not just mean a beta version of XCode, but also a current version of XCode on a beta version of the Mac OS.
See a long thread of upset app developers on the Apple Developer Forums here:

Yeah, used to have the same problem for tvOS applications with last Xcode 7.2.1 from App Store. Downgrade the Xcode to 7.2 version had solved my problem.
Check This in your Code:
Go to Project -> Info -> iOS Deployment Target
Make sure it will be not below -> 5.1.1
Set it with 6.0
Clean project & try again
Hope it will work for you.
As you know, Apple has just made available the Xcode 6 GM seed and announced that we can now submit iOS 8 apps (Submit Your iOS 8 Apps Today). However, I have a question: does it mean that, starting today, is it required to submit app updates with the new Xcode 6? Can I still use Xcode 5.1.1 (Base SDK iOS 7.1)? If not, could I keep submitting apps with Base SDK targeting iOS 7.1 with Xcode 6?
Thanks
I'm in the midst of submitting an update right now and iTunesConnect states that builds can be submitted with Xcode 5.1.1 or later, or Application Loader 2.9.1 or later.
According to Apple, you can still use Xcode 5.1.1 to update your apps.
Xcode 5.1.1 is the latest version on the App Store !
You should use the latest version of Xcode available on the Mac App
Store to submit your apps. (Xcode Support)
Hope this can help you ;)
At the time of writing (September 12th 2014) you can submit apps with both Xcode 5.1.1 and Xcode 6 GM seed. So both SDKs are allowed. As soon as iOS 8 comes out, the App Store version of Xcode will show an update to Xcode 6.0.
Going by past experiences, at that point you will still be able to download Xcode 5.1.1 from the developer portal and still be able to submit apps with it for a few more weeks/months until Apple will officially announce that the new iOS 8 SDK is required for app submission.
Watch that newsfeed at https://developer.apple.com/news/
After seeing this cocos2d topic I became confused. Do I need to install Xcode 4.5 to submit my app to iOS App Store?
As the comments imply if your deployment target is ios5.1 or older you can use older Xcodes to do this. I just did this last night. That said, if some library you want to include was built against the new ios6 SDK, then you will probably not get your app to link. In this case you will have to update Xcode to 4.5.
Currently, if your app does not require any iOS 6 APIs or features, you do not need to install Xcode 4.5 to submit apps to the App store.
Apple may change this requirement at some unknown point in the future. For instance, when the SDK for iOS 4.0 was publicly released, Apple stopped allowing the submission of apps developed with the, over 1 year older, 2.x SDKs.
