Re: Getting "Invalid toolchain" when doing "Validate App"

I'm in the same boat today.  I'm using the same version of Xcode, macOS, and iOS SDKs as above and getting the same error message.  Any light that can be shed would be greatly appreciated.

Was that app also opened in Xcode 11.2.1 GM or any previous beta?

Same here!

But I can also see a message that it was deprecated and that we should download 11.2.1

The problem is that I cannot see that version on the app store ?

Apple decided to deprecate Xcode 11.2 on Nov 5th due to building buggy UITextView code and advises building with 11.2.1. (which is officially not out yet).
You can see this message if you try to Distribute app from the Organizer (Valide app doesn't show it).

same here. I managed to upload with 11.2 and it failed when submitting it to review. Apple should have sent a heads up. This is totally unprofessional

Why 11.2.1 is not available on appstore?

Same here. What a day.

[Edit: 11.2.1 (11B53) seems to be fine.]

When are scheduled to release the new version of Xcode?

Downloaded Xcode 11.1 from https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ to fix the "Validate App" Invalid Toolchain issue.

I'm with same problem...

I'm same problem, yesterday all was ok, but today impossible.

Always the same with 11.2.1 gm it did not solve anything to transfer with application loader.

My programmer and I are having the same exact problem. He has been using Xcode 11.2 without issue to this point and we successfully uploaded to TestFlight last night. When we try to upload the same exact binary to iTunes we get Invalid Binary errors. Apple wanted to charge us a support ticket to bring errors with Xcode to their attention! The people you call into and speak with have no clue what you are talking about, in my opinion they need better training.

We are now getting this warning msg:

App Store Connect Operation Warning

WARNING ITMS-90703: "Deprecated Xcode Build. Due to resolved app archive issues, we have deprecated Xcode 11.2 on November 5, 2019. Download Xcode 11.2.1 or newer, rebuild your app and resubmit."

I googled this and found out much more information than Apple's own developer department knew.  They should know this!

Apple has just released an emergency Xcode 11.2.1 update for developers — the tool used to create iOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS apps. ... According to the company, today's update fixes a critical issue that could cause apps using UITextView to crash when run on previous versions of iOS, iPadOS, or tvOS.

Xcode 11.2.1 is working for me now.

I'm with same problem...

I have Version 11.2 (11B52). It let me upload my project successfully and I pushed app to the market two days ago. today, I have same XCode, same project, but now, it gives this error. I dont know what is difference between today and 2 days ago. but it is not definetely project (excep version updating) and xcode.

worse part, I think 11.2 has something which causes crash on the application. becuase I submit my app with previous version XCode 1 week ago, and it works perfectly fine. I submit another app 2 days ago with Dark mode change (I added UIUserInterfaceStyle Light to info.plist). we get numerous crash now, and xcode doesnt let us to update our app. just before big market days. it is costing too much for us. crap!!

Me nothing to do does not work with the 11.2.1, I emptied cache xcode, defines in Preference / Locations / Line Tools command version 11.2.1 but always refused with loader.Il is there anything else for that this is taken into account if I download the 11.1 it could solve my problem? Thank you.

Same problem here. I downloaded Xcode 11.2.1 GM seed from https://developer.apple.com/download/ but unfortunately the file would not open, it's corrupted.

Why does anyone accept this b ulls hit? We downloaded seven gigabytes a few days ago, only to get an error that those seven gigabytes are now outdated and we need to download another seven gigabytes to be able to build apps again, which then corrupt our projects?

Seriously, Apple, get a grip on your internal processes and quality control again! This is ridiculous!

Have you noticed the App signing process also changed since Nov 7, 2019 and it has gotten more complicated?

in additional to posting here, have ou considered posting here?

Hey! Any news? Still can't download v11.2.1 from App Store. How about you guys?

Someone knows how to solve it, it is not possible for anyone to send without them taking steps to solve it.

Just adding another data point - same error here. Waiting for official 11.2.1 release before I can validate & distribute my release candidate build.

The validation message stating Xcode 10.1 is required should be treated as a bug and corrected, it's misleading.

Same here. App built with VS 2019, Xamarin.iOS

Fixed!!! Updating XCode to 11.2.1 helped!

Looks like it's possible to download the GM seed version directly through the website https://developer.apple.com/download/

Going to give it a try now and come back with the veredict!

I am in the same boat (wow Apple really has been botching things lately). XCode 11.2.1 does not show up in the app store unless you update to the very latest version of Mojave first. If you try to download it from the appstore by using the link in the developer portal, it will give you an error that there is not enough disk space to install the update (no matter how much disk space you free up, I had 160 something GB). The only remedy was to update Mojave to the latest, then install the new XCode.

Heads up: If you have an Apple Watch App, you may want to check it on the new WatchOS6.1 as well, it completely broke some of our UI for the version that was already released.

The new update from the App Store (11.2.1) solved this issue and I was able to upload a new build without any issues. Even in the Xcode release notes they point out that the UITextView issue has been fixed, seems like this entire issue is now resolved.
