App Store Connect Operation Error when Validating App with Xcode 12.5

The server returned an invalid response. This may indicate that a network is interfering with comminication, or that Apple servers are haveing issues. Please try your request again later 

I am using Xcode 12.5 to validate my flutter app after running

flutter build ipa

I have double confirmed that no proxy is in my networking setting

Hey @sienchoo,

Thanks for posting this! This is a very common error that we see on our account as we are uploading hundreds of IPA files to Apple on a monthly basis.

This will happen even when all of the Apple System Status shows green on their monitoring site. This is indicative of a problem on the Apple side and we have not been able to find anything to help resolve the issue as it is intermittent.

When interacting with Apple, we use the command line and we have actually wrapped our upload command into a while loop and will retry to upload an application up to 5 times if we get this error and while we still encounter it, that is enough tries to get the application to go through for this specific error.

Hopefully this helps!

Did you file a bug about this? If so, what was the bug number?

You’re talking altool here, right? If so, it has a --verbose flag and, if you file a bug report, the output from that would be super helpful.
