Xcode stuck at “Your application is being uploaded

Question

I am facing an issue while submitting my app from Xcode to the App Store. I have done everything regarding my project, and its running fine on my iPhone and iPad. But when I submit my project I am facing a huge problem.

First after archive I have done the validate. Now my archive file in Organizer is showing status pass validation as well. So I believe I am at the final step of submitting the app.

1. I have clicked on distribute and selected submit app to app store.

2. After login I have selected provisioning files as well.

3. I am stuck here. You can see in the screenshot below. And I have never seen any
   progress bar where I can see the submission progress or something like that.

Only screen I can see is:

Edited:

It was near about 1.30 hours. And internet connection is working. My ipa file is only 3.5 MB.

And last when I tried Application loader to upload the same I received the following screen as well for a long time in Authenticating with the iTunes Store... ..

What should I do now?

Answer 1

I had similar issue while uploading iOS apps through application loader.Then once after i opened iTunes parallel all of the sudden uploading apps was faster.Not sure if iTunes has any dependency with application loader.

Answer 2

I had the same issue. Trying all these answers may work sometimes, but usually it takes much time and may not work at the end like in my case.

I figured out a solution which will probably work for all.

• Create your .ipa file by: Product -> Arcive -> Disribute(Save for Enterprise or ...) -> Next and save .ipa at target

• Xcode -> Open Developer Tool -> Application Loader -> Deliver your app -> Pick your .ipa file

Withing few minutes your app will submit to iTunes. Good luck

Answer 3

All i did was duplicate my Application Loader.app in /Applications and ran both Application loaders at the same time.

Answer 4

For me, just logging out from ituneconnect website and developer.apple.com does work.And just using xcode to upload. No need to restart

Answer 5

To be honest, this may not be an answer but it really worked for me.

I launched Application Loader and started submitting. While sumbitting was going on, I launched Organiser and select Distribution over archiver in Xcode as well and started uploading concurrent. They worked together and 2nd one completed the submission.

Just my experience.

Answer 6

None of the answers worked for me and my upload was hanging for days without any error. (my build was generated using Expo). Here's what I did to make this work:

1. In the apple's guideline, it says one way to upload the build is to use the Transporter.
2. Using the Transporter, it was able to detect and output the error.
3. It turns out the root cause for me was the XCode version was 9 but it has to be 10.

I hope this helps others who are struggling on this issue.
