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

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 :)

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.

I was having the same issue with Xcode 8.3 public version. I reinstall the Xcode and check it, but didn't work ...

Finally I found the issue , I have mistakenly selected Xcode 3.2-compatible in project format under project document. I changed it to Xcode 8.0-compatible and build & archived it. I could upload it without any errors. Check the screen shot attached ..

Answer 5

Right-Click on the archive file (.xcarchive) > Show Package Contents > Products > Applications > Right-Click on the app file > Show Package Contents > Double-Click on Info.plist to edit it

Remove b from the end of the value for DTXcodeBuild (for example change from 9C40b to 9C40)

Re-submit and it will work

Apparently it was a deployment problem in Apple Servers. I tried after 3 hours and magically disappeared.
