New Itunes connect : Submitting app for review


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?


Solution

  • Okay So I was able to submit my app for review. I guess you cannot wait for too long 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
