Answer 1

What worked for me was:

1. Check your pods, if they have the last version (pod update). Apple will silently reject sometimes because of this.
2. Make sure all targets have the same devices checked (had a diff there)
3. Also compare your plist with the visual config in XCode. Sometimes there are discrepancies, XCode doesn't properly update the info.plist tags, if so, align both.
4. All the above with the privacy keys.

I can't believe that "silently reject/ remove" is a thing for Apple, but well...

You have to wait like 5 - 20 mins and you will find the app in Activity tab (left side).

If you are in admin position for that developer account, you will receive an email about the state of the build you submitted.

Answer 3

I was able to submit the build to app store after adding all privacy keys required to be added in info.plist.Make sure to go through the list from below link to check services we are accessing in our app require privacy keys to be added for ios10 support https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/CocoaKeys.html

I was missing NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription privacy key in info.plist & after adding this key to info.plist I was able to upload to itunesconnect successfully.

Build disappeared. Wondered why, but did nothing. 12 hours later, was notified that it has completed processing and I was able to deploy it to TestFlight testers.

Thought perhaps it was because I accidentally uploaded an archive of my previous .ipa first via the Application Loader, rather than the newly exported one. But this may be just random circumstances. Either way, I did nothing, and it reappeared—albeit 12 hours later when often processing has been completing in about 20-30 minutes recently.

In my case, the issue was a missing BitCode flag. I don't remember why I had disabled bitcode, but I have been successfully uploading with bitcode disabled for a month or so.

Suddenly the uploaded builds started disappearing shortly after they had begun processing, but when I enabled bitcode, the upload was again correctly recognized in the appstoreconnect console.

Now I finally get the mails of completed processing, and I can access the uploaded build as normal.

EDIT: The non-bitcode uploads did eventually appear after 4 days, while the one with bitcode took 30 min.

Answer 6

In my case I had

<key>ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption</key>
<false/>

in my Info.plist but not in the Info.plist of some of my app extensions, and App Store connect was silently deleting the builds after processing. I made them all match and it worked. Lame that there's no error message!
