I'm having problems submitting to the App Store. Both Xcode 6.1 and 5.1.1 crash when I attempt to export an .ipa or use the submit feature after the app has been archived. Here are the steps to reproduce:

Build -> Archive -> Organizer -> Export -> Save for iOS App Store Deployment

The "Fetching list of teams..." dialogue appears briefly and then Xcode crashes. This also occurs when clicking the Submit button on the Organizer window. This also occurs for Ad Hoc exports. This is odd as I was able to create an ad hoc distribution a few days ago without issue.

I am also unable to select the Team attribute for the target in the project files general settings (General -> Identity -> Team).

The crash report for all of the issues above are similar. I have double checked the developer center to ensure that I have an App Store provisioning profile for this app. I have also read of people having a similar issue if they had not agreed to the latest developer center terms. As far as I can tell, I don't have any outstanding agreements that require action. I've tried removing my account from Xcode and reinstalling. I'm guessing this is an account issue but I'm not sure what I can do to fix it.

It was crashing for me in XCode 9.3 and the reason was I have not accepted the latest agreement at https://developer.apple.com/. Right after accepting the latest agreement it just worked.

Right after crashing OS will provide you with a pop-up with logs. Just go through the log and see whether you can make up what exactly happened. Sometimes this is how you can figure out the issue.

    I had the same behavior, also with Xcode 9.3 (Version 9.3 (9E145)). On every crash i saw the following log entry in " /var/log/system.log": com.apple.dt.SKAgent[6470]: BUG in libdispatch client: kevent[mach_recv] monitored resource vanished before the source cancel handler was invoked – Eddie Apr 18 '18 at 09:20

    I had to accept a new agreement too, but additional, after that, I need to archive a new build and re-add the dev-account in xcode's prefs. Then it worked. – Max Power Jun 20 '18 at 11:01

    Still crashing in Xcode 9.4.1, when exporting a build at the step "communicating with Apple". After accepting the new developer agreement, it exported fine. – xirix Jun 30 '18 at 06:41

It turns out the Apple Membership is expired in my case. Check Membership Center if there is anything worth noticing.

In my case the problem was that there was a new user agreement waiting approval in my dev account so the solution was to login to my account here https://developer.apple.com/ and then agreeing to the user agreement they had.

I had the same problem starting from yesterday, 11/13/2014.

Whenever tried to communicate with server it crashed

  • Preferences -> Apple ID -> View Details
  • Organizer -> Validate
  • Organizer -> Export -> Save for Ad Hoc Deployment

View Details works today, but Validate and Export are still crashing.

[Edited] Reference to this thread: Xcode crashing when fetching team list

In case you want to export an ipa:

xcodebuild archive -project $projectname.xcodeproj -scheme $schemename -archivePath projectname.xcarchive
xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath $projectname.xcarchive -exportPath $projectname -exportFormat ipa -exportProvisioningProfile “Provisioning Profile Name”

    The started for me on 11/13/2014 as well. My last successful export (ad hoc for TestFlight) was on 11/11/2014. It is still crashing when I refresh from View Details. – Hurshai Nov 14 '14 at 23:41

Export an .ipa from Organizer and use the Application Loader to upload your app to iTunesConnect.

    Read Question carefully.. Its about export issue itself. How will he upload IPA via App Loader – Mrug Dec 26 '16 at 05:25

If the data at the developer center looks good, open Xcode Prefs, click Accounts, click "View Details", click the refresh button. Then quit and relaunch Xcode for good measure, and see if uploading now works. This voodoo has always worked for me in the past.

[Addition] In the release notes for Xcode 6.1.1 Apple suggests trying this if you crash during App Store submission: App Store Submission • Using the distribution workflow after deleting an account from Xcode's preferences may lead to a crash. (18964743) Workaround: Delete all files ending with ".db" in ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/.

  • Thanks for the reply. I tried refreshing from that context and it crashed. The crash report is exactly what I have been seeing when attempting the export/submit. Seems like theres a problem when Xcode tries to communicate with dev center. – Hurshai Nov 14 '14 at 21:41

I was getting a crash in 6.3.2. Then I tried closing Xcode before submitting and realized that I was using the same build number as my rejected version of the app. I updated the build number and it submitted without having to close Xcode.
