I'm trying to upload my iPhone .ipa file to iTunesconnect. I've done that many times successfully using Application Loader, but lately it takes more and more time.
This night & morning I'm stuck at max 15% being uploaded, then my home network completely or partially crashes, and I have to start from the beginning, usually with resetting router first.
Some potentially useful data:
- I'm using Application Loader for updating ipa
- Application loader uses port 443 for https
- .ipa file is about 50MB big
- I've updated java as suggested on one stack overflow thread
- Firewall is turned off
I have faces a similar problem some time back with Xcode 6, and it was not due to Application Loader, but either my mac or the network. How I resolved the problem was that I used a friend's Mac on a different network and it uploaded smoothly and without any problems. However while trying to fix my problem I came across multiple solutions that may work for you:
- Use the default Xcode Build submission tool (The one that you get after validating your .ipa file and it says submit to the App Store)
- Use Application Loader (this only works if you were trying with the Xcode uploader in the first place, however I'm assuming you weren't)
- Upload from a different network (This seemed to have helped a lot of people.)
- Use a different mac. Sometimes the issue could be with your machine. (You can try restarting it, but using a second mac if available would be much better.)
- Use the last stable release of Xcode. When using one of the Beta's, try to use the last official release. (And also make sure you aren't using any pre-release technologies, however this should only stop you at a later stage)
You can try any of the above points, as for me a combination of 3 and 4 worked.
Hope that helps, Julian
