ERROR ITMS - 90167 No. app bundles found in the package

Question

Before I start writing about the error, I\'m running on macOS Sierra and using Xcode 7.3.1.

So I\'m creating an Archive from my App, I validate the App and it passes

Answer 1

If you are uploading from Xcode7(less than Xcode8) and macOS Sierra(V10.12), So this issue "ERROR ITMS-90167: "No .app bundles found in the package"" will come and will not allow to upload build to AppStore.

So use "Application Loader V3.6" or "Xcode8" to upload the build.

Answer 2

After chatting with folks at WWDC in both the Xcode lab and the App Store lab, they were able to dig up information that this is a known issue in the current Sierra seed that is fixed in the next release. You can either revert, or wait. Not the most satisfying answer, I admit.

Answer 3

I had to provide missing application name in order to fix this problem.

Answer 4

I have also experienced the same. This is the simple way to solve your problem. Archive your app using Xcode 7.3.1 and export the ipa file of your app into a directory by selecting the option Save for iOS App Store deployment.

After that open Xcode 8.0 and open Application Loader from Xcode -> Developer Tools. Sign in to your team, and upload the ipa file using Xcode 8.0.

I have uploaded two apps to iTunesConnect, it will work for sure.

Answer 5

I submit an app built using LibGDX and had the same issue after upgrading to Sierra. I solved it by:

• Upgrading Xcode (8.x), as explained above
• Use the latest version of appLoader (3.6). To do that, use the AppLoader available within Xcode. I was using a standalone version of the appLoader: that's incorrect. Open Xcode and go to Xcode->Open Developer Tool->Application Loader

Answer 6

Try open App Loader from Xcode8. Xcode > Open Developer Tools > Application Loader

Then you can upload app to TestFlight without the error.
