error uploading app for iTunes connect - ios

Question

I get an error when I try to submit app to app store ,the error ocurrs on the last step ( app is being uploaded )
Error : "an error occurred while uploading to the app store"
I doubled checked my certificated and profile and my app configuration on both XCode and iTunes connect.
I tried using the Application Loader but I'm getting the same error
I also tried changing the Java version from 1.7 to 1.6 as many answers suggesting but it didn't work
I'm on Xcode 4.6.2 , OSX 10.8.3 and on java version "1.6.0_45"
Note that when I choose Validate instead of Distribute after archiving the app I get no errors. the error only appears when I try to submit to the app store
EDIT
I restored the Java version to 1.7.0_21 since it seems that the problem is not caused by Java ,
the application loader shows the following two errors in the error log
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Application Loader.app/Contents/MacOS/itms/bin/iTMSTransporter: line 14: awk: command not found
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Application Loader.app/Contents/MacOS/itms/bin/iTMSTransporter: line 18: ../share/iTMSTransporter.woa/iTMSTransporter: No such file or directory
I reinstalled Xcode as a desperate attempt to solve this issue but with no luck

Answer 1

I had exactly the same issue and was able to fix it by slightly adapting the file
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Application Loader.app/Contents/MacOS/itms/bin/iTMSTransporter
change the path to the awk to absolute (and i also uncommented the echo of the script path, which probably isn't necessary). Here my changed file:
#!/bin/sh
# if the user has the run script in their PATH
# then we can get the path to the script from
# 'which'. otherwise, we have to get the path
# from $0
if [ "$0" = "iTMSTransporter" ] ; then
SCRIPT_PATH=`which iTMSTransporter`
else
SCRIPT_PATH=$0
fi
# get the script's directory
SCRIPT_DIR=`echo $SCRIPT_PATH | /usr/bin/awk -F"/" '{print substr($0,1,length($0)-length($NF))}'`
# call the transporter relative to the script's directory
echo Calling: ${SCRIPT_DIR}../share/iTMSTransporter.woa/iTMSTransporter "$#"
"${SCRIPT_DIR}../share/iTMSTransporter.woa/iTMSTransporter" "$#"
I guess this behavior is caused by inproper classpath setup which I wasn't able to resolve though.
After fixing the script, I managed to upload my app through the XCode Organiser.

Answer 2

I was facing the same problem.
I tried many solutions listed on a lots of forums but none of them worked for me.
Here's what I did:
I found Application Loader at /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Application Loader.app/Contents/MacOS
But before that I accidentally ran iTMSTransporter from terminal by using:
"open /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Application\ Loader.app/Contents/MacOS/itms/bin/iTMSTransporter"
and it updated by it self. I'm sure whether this was necessary.
Started Application Loader, logged in and selected the ipa file that I had created using Xcode. I started the upload process and it was success.
Now the app is in review. :)
I hope this helps.
Edit: To load Application Loader from terminal use this: "open /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Application\ Loader.app/Contents/MacOS/Application\ Loader"

Answer 3

I have tried many methods that were suggested in apple forums and on stackoverflow but non of them worked for me. so I decided to backup my OSx lion and re-install the system all over again.
I know that this might be too radical solution but I had to do it because nothing else worked.
