I am uploading iPhone application using latest xCode 8. I have good internet connection and all the relevant settings set up at iTunes connect. My distribution profiles are also
I have a different solution. I had "Enable Bitcode" set as false in my target settings but had "Include bitcode" checked as true for the validation. For obvious reasons, the validation would fail every time if I had include bitcode checked. I unchecked include bitcode and it worked just fine after cleaning my project.
I had this same issue, but it turned out I used a different profile in the Xcode project, then when I tried to validate the app. It wasn't noticeable since at my company we use multiple Apple id's under the same businessname. Maybe checking this helps?
In my case the problem was the virus protection software I am using. I turned it off before attempting validation and everything went fine.
Did you set the device to Generic iOS Device before you archived the build? That appears to have fixed it for me on a couple of different occasions.
it is quite easy, quit and reopen the Xcode project clean the project change the build number and build an archive.it will work
So this has what worked for me:
Preface: 4 days of debugging, recreated certificates numerous times, nothing worked, every time i try to validate/upload via Xcode it says same error "iTunes software service authentication error domain error 434"
