6

NOTE: This will look like a dupe of this question, but none of the solutions in that question have solved it. I am almost certain this is an elcap beta 5 issue, as it was not happening on beta 4.

The problem: When I attempt to upload a fresh build to iTunes connect from the organizer window, xCode crashes.

Details: It is xCode 6.4, the App Store version, not beta. The 'Submit to App Store', 'Validate', and 'Export' buttons all cause crashes. When I click each of these, the dialog for choosing a development team appears, and when I click 'choose', xCode crashes. The build number is higher than the last submission, and there are no build errors, etc.

I have attempted closing all windows except the organizer, I have tried a reboot, and I have tried the beta version of 6.4 from the dev portal; none of these things work. I have not tried xCode 7 beta, but that would be useless to me as I need to submit the build to Test Flight.

My app's release is time-sensitive, so if anyone could help me find a workaround, that would be very helpful :)

  • Are you sure developers can submit app through Beta OS X? – rohan-patel Jul 30 '15 at 04:53
  • @rohan-patel I'm not sure I understand your question. Am I allowed to submit iOS apps while using a beta version of OS X? Yes. I have been doing that for weeks. Am I allowed to submit iOS apps using a beta version of Xcode? Yes, but that build will not be eligible for test flight or the App Store. – Connor Hicks Jul 30 '15 at 04:55
  • "Am I allowed to submit iOS apps while using a beta version of OS X?" I was wondering about that. Thanks. I was under impression that under Beta OS X you can't submit apps. – rohan-patel Jul 30 '15 at 04:58
  • And anyway, it's a beta version of OS X, so anything can happen. Including crashes in applications. There's a big warning about that. – gnasher729 Jul 30 '15 at 08:20
  • You can *submit* an app using xCode 7; however, you can't *compile* it (for submission) using a beta version. This workaround also lets you test Swift 1.2 code on iOS 9. – Francis Jervis Jul 31 '15 at 07:14
  • @FrancisJervis even when compiling with Xcode6 and submitting with xcode7 triggers "Apps and app updates submitted to the App Store must be built with Xcode 5.1.1 or later, and iOS 7 SDK." on Submit for review. – Ryan Romanchuk Aug 03 '15 at 02:07

Archive it with Xcode 6 and then open up Xcode 7 and submit the archive from there.

Works for me

It appears to be an Xcode bug, lots of people reporting it here: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/12602

UPDATE: Apple have now disabled submission to the App Store from builds later than Beta 6.

I've had intermittent crashes in the past when uploading from a developer account set up for me by the client. In desperation they sent me the main account details and that worked (ridiculous I know)

Upload it with Application Loader:

from top bar menu > Xcode > Open Developer Tool > Application Loader

  • This allows you to upload the IPA. Quite a few steps missing, especially since the OP and others cannot export from the organizer. – Ryan Romanchuk Aug 03 '15 at 02:09
