Answer 1

In my case, I revoked the "IOS development" and "IOS distribution" profiles, and re-create them inside Xcode -> Preferences -> Accounts -> View Details

Answer 2

Had the fabric desktop app open. Closing that caused it to work right away.

Answer 3

I have the same problem when I trying upload from my corporate network, but I just share mobile internet and use it, everything loading fast and without problem.

Answer 4

I got this error, but surprisingly I got an email later that said processing was finished for the version I was attempting to upload so apparently it was a false alarm.

Answer 5

This issue is predominantly on enterprise networks. There are a number of solutions please note that some of these are mere repetition of the above.

1. Make sure no pending contracts are waiting to be signed/accepted

Go to member center and make sure all contracts are signed, pending contracts will be highlighted in a big yellow/red banner at the top of the page

2.Change networks

Get off your enterprise network and tether to your cell phone (slower but works). Your home network should also work if you've not fiddled with your router

3. Get off your proxy

Change or preferably switch off your proxy. If Charles or similar apps are running, switch them off as well.

4. Use the standalone Application Loader app

This is only a walk around as it allows you to toggle the protocols. Removing Signiant & Aspera protocols works for me even in office network.

Application loader can be found under Xcode -> Open Deleveloper Tool -> Application Loader

5. Automate it!

Use FastLane tools, but remember to set ENV["DELIVER_ITMSTRANSPORTER_ADDITIONAL_UPLOAD_PARAMETERS"] = "-t DAV" within your configuration file.

This is a lot more work than the other steps above, but provides a lasting solution. Fastlane is also really cool if you configure it correctly.

6. Cry

Because developers have bad days too.

I found this to be an issue when using free Wi-Fi from a retailer. i.e Starbucks. I was in an area where I could 6 different networks from local stores and the all hung at this stage from both Application Loader and xCode.

Don't waste your time! Join either your own network or one where you can speak with the admin. Retail Wi-Fi's lead to the dark side.
