Xcode 15.0 crashes when uploading apps to App Store Connect

I'm trying to upload an app to AppStoreConnect but Xcode (15.0 release not beta) crashes while creating the IPA - I think it's at this step, as it happens very fast. The agreements are all accepted, I don't know what else should I do ??

Here's the log:

I have also created the IPA manually and tried to upload it using Transporter app, but I got the following error. I did try to upload several times, and each time I get a different value in the error, so it looks like it's not because of the IPA itself.

The provided entity includes an attribute with an invalid value (409) n/a (ID: a6e0572b-f67d-4add-bfae-dc9bde052be6)

Hi!

I've had a similar issue the last few days and found that changes to the Developer License Agreement of our account had to be accepted. After accepting them, everything worked again. Hopefully this also solves your issue!

Cheers, Dom

I have the same problem, I haven't been able to solve it for a day now.

  • Check the version string, for me if was a misplaced dot "2..1.1", but I read other posts getting the same error for non numeric chars, like for "1.1-2". (Assuming that you have accepted the agreements, which can also cause an error if not.)

In my case the issue was in release version naming (1.5.0-de1) which could not be parsed to three dot separated integers.

Seems like xCode 15.0 can not handle any error while uploading.

My solution was to

  1. download xCode 14.3.1 from https://developer.apple.com/download/all/
  2. Extract it and replace xCode in Applications folder with the downloaded one
  3. Open xCode and retry my archive upload
  4. Read the error from the screen

  1. Fix the error and upload it again.

"Don't update to new major versions immediately" learnt the hard way.

Thanks, I forgot to mention that I accepted the agreement prior to having this error.

Same issue here with the version format. It has to be three integers separated by dots—otherwise, Xcode crashes.

As stated in another comment, the version string did the trick for me, going directly with numbers should fix the problem E.g. 1.7.9

As stated in another comment, and on the documentation the version string did the trick for me, going directly with numbers should fix the problem E.g. 1.7.9

Version Number(required)

The version number of the app you’re adding. This is the version number that will display on the App Store for customers. Numbering should follow typical software versioning conventions (for example, 1.0 , 1.0.1 , 1.1 ).

When you create a new app or platform the version number will always default to 1.0, but this can be changed before you submit the app for review.

Important: Make sure this App Store version number matches the version number set in the bundle. If these don’t match, upload errors for later updates might occur.

  • same thing for me. "1.16.6a" is not a valid version number. this is wild to me that xcode just crashes instead of just checking the version string and giving a error message

I can upload with 15.0.1, but I'm not able to send it to apple for checking as it is mentioned as beta...

How can it be? Perhaps Apple should check their own products...
