Strange Errors on Archive Validation

Question

I\'ve had an iOS project in fairly stable condition up until Xcode 8\'s public release. After a bit of confusion with the Migrator, I finally convinced the compiler that I d

Answer 1

If this occurred randomly, try to delete that archive and make sure you have "Generic iOS Device" selected as target when you run Product > Archive again. This solved it for me.

Answer 2

I fixed this problem by updating Xcode from 8.2 to 9.

Apparently there was a compatibility issue with an SDK used internally. Xcode was not helping with it's error message. I discovered it by using the Application Loader to upload the archive. Application Loader's error message made some sense.

Answer 3

Just to share this.

Quit xcode and re-login as suggested by members does not work for me. I solved it by using "Application Loader"

Steps: 1) change the version and build in your App 2) archive again for new file submission and export file to desktop 3) goto top menu: Open Developer Tool > Application Loader (if you don't have this , search, download and install this plug init) 4) upload the new version archived file. Done

You will find them in iTune Connect. From here process to My Apps > choose the rejected app > change the version and click on the new uploaded archive file, file will be processing..

5) time to resubmit :) cheers

Answer 4

Had the exact same problem. I tried upgrading to Sierra which seemed to update bits of Xcode etc. The new error message was formatted differently, so I could not see the "434" (With 1 success in 15 attempts (I had to tweak a version number in a string in the app, so didn't choose to upload after that brief moment of joy), i just uploaded the archive anyway, and after 2 hours of processing, it was accepted. I will update when my new app version is live to verify this error can be safely ignored, at least in some cases (e.g. I checked all my graphics' color profiles, etc.).

Answer 5

Answer 6

I had the same problem while I was trying to submit the app to client's iTunesConnect account. I've signed in with new apple id, downloaded the certificates and provisionin profiles but still got this error:

(ITunesSoftwareServiceAuthenticationErrorDomain error 434.)

How to fix this error?

1. Try to remove Provisioning Profiles files at ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/
2. Make new Build and Archive the app. Xcode will create new Provisioning Profiles and submit the app to iTunesConnect.
