Xcode 5 - “No application records were found” when trying to Validate an Archive

Question

Hi Folks: Just a person (not a company) trying to submit an app, developed with Xcode 5 to the App Store.

Developer.apple.com > IOS Dev Center > iTunes Connect

Answer 1

As you already mentioned and as per the documentation - App Distribution Guide

Important: You can’t validate your app unless the app record in iTunes Connect is in the “Waiting for Upload” or later state

After you add a new app in iTunes connect there will be an amber light along with its status. It will most likely read "Prepare For Upload". To get it to the "Waiting For Upload" state click view details for the app and in the top right there should be a blue button that says "Ready to Upload Binary". Click this and follow the given directions.
