I found this error during upload IPA to account.

Answer 1

I was finally able to resolve this issue by downloading XCode 8.2.1 from the App Store.

Re-archiving the project and submitting as usual.

Answer 2

From Xcode -> Go to Organizer -> Under Archives, select the build and right click to Show in finder -> Select the Project and right click to -> Show Package Contents -> Double click on Info.plist and add a row. The key is BuildMachineOSBuild and the Type is String and the Value is 16G29 (Value is based on your Mac OS Version. Please follow the below given link)

https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT201260 .....Check the version number for your Mac OS version and set the value in the Info.plist

For example if your Mac OS version is 10.12.6 then add this to your plist

<key>BuildMachineOSBuild</key>
<string>16G29</string>

You are ready to send your build to iTunes Connect

Answer 3

For anyone trying with Xcode 11, check the Xcode version. If it's Version 11.0 (11A419c) you cannot submit a build to the app store with this version. Get Xcode Version 11.0 (11A420a).

Apps built with Xcode 11 GM seed (11A419c) can no longer be uploaded to App Store Connect. You can now submit apps built with Xcode 11 GM seed 2 (11A420a) using the iOS 13 SDK and watchOS 6 SDK to the App Store.

Answer 4

If you're looking at this in November 2019, there's an obscure error in Xcode 11.2, which prevents uploading from that version to the App Store. You'll have to upgrade to Xcode 11.2.1, which is currently not available on the Mac App Store yet, but must be downloaded from the Developer Portal here: https://developer.apple.com/download/

The Xcode 11.2 Archive error log even states:

Edit:

Xcode 11.2.1 is now available on the AppStore:

Answer 5

Here is what I did after going through the internet.

1. Download the latest Xcode from https://xcodereleases.com/ (You can download without signing in).

2. You might get an error "Data is corrupted" when you extract above-downloaded file ending with .xip

3. To solve this unzip it using Archive Utility.app rather than The Unarchiver.app

Answer 6

November 2019 with Xcode 12.1?

2 days ago Apple released a 11.2.1 version which you can download/update from App Store. Fixing this problem as of today is as easy as installing/updating Xcode 12.2.1 from the official App Store.

Checked it on my app and was able to successfully deploy after this update, just make sure to upload the app build with the new Xcode (12.2.1), otherwise you'll see an error Invalid Toolchain. Your app was built with an unsupported version of Xcode or SDK. If you plan to submit....

You should see again the green, positive confirmation :)
