New Itunes connect : Submitting app for review [cl

Question

I am trying to submit a new version of my existing app in itunes connect but I am having difficulties. So I uploaded my build like usual and upload done. I went into pre-release and saw the status processing. This was 12 hours ago, now though it has changed from processing to inactive. I ignored that and went and chose the build anyways and clicked on "Submit for Review"

I get an error saying You must submit your builds using Xcode 5.1.1 or later, or Application Loader 2.9.1 or later. After you’ve submitted a build, select it in the Builds section below.

But I did submit a build using Xcode 6 seed version. I also tried to upload the build again but I get an error saying that a buid already exists. I figured I will try to delete the build, from the pre-release tab and try to upload a new build but I cant find a way to do this.

Makes me think it has something to do with the inactive status of the build. Is anybody else having this issue?

Answer 1

I was having the same issue. I followed the guy above's advice. Here's exactly what I did to get it to work:

1. In iTunes Connect, remove the current build.
2. In Xcode, change the build (not version) number to something else. I just picked "3".
3. In Xcode, go to Product -> Archive Note: If this is greyed out, ensure that you select "iOS Device" instead of a different simulator or connected hardware for testing
4. In the Organizer - Archives window, click Validate, then click Distribute
5. In the Organizer - Archives window, delete your previously submitted archive
6. Go back to iTunes Connect, refresh, and select the new build with the updated version number

Answer 2

Okay So I was able to submit my app for review. I guess you cannot wait too much after you submit your build. I have no proof of this but I think if your build is inactive, you cannot use that build to submit an app. Here is what I did to solve my issue

1. In xcode I changed the build version, not the app version,
2. Archive and validate
3. Submit
4. While the build was still "Processing", I went back to my apps new version page on iTunes Connect
5. Choose the new build and submit for review.

Dont let the build become inactive.

Good luck
