Answer 1

I faced same issue, but it was due to permission issue.

App need Audio Recording permission, which were missing in info.plist. Please check your info.plist and all required permission.

After that app is successfully submitted and displayed on iTuneConnets.

Answer 2

I encounter the same problem. I tried with different builds but it failed, Finally i checked my plist it have permission key but no description. I was using addressbook framework to fetch contacts but later on move to CNContact, Key in plist without description was working fine but after adding CNContact App is removed from Activity view of itunes after uploading.

Please check every permission key have description or not, Apple can remove your app from Activity/Testflight when you upload.

I also faced same issue. After adding missing privacy-sensitive key data usage in apps Info.plist the problem is fixed.

1. Check and add the missing keys in your Info.plist file. Refer the link https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/CocoaKeys.html for more info.

2. Some keys might be used by the 3rd party pods included in your application. Find them and include in your Info.plist file.(You can get them easily from App Store email sent to you)

3.Following are the keys which fixed my issue, add,NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription,NSCalendarsUsageDescription,NSContactsUsageDescription,NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription,NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription.

Answer 4

Had the same issue. Build gone after a few minutes. No email, no error...

I finally added a second user to my account, with another apple ID. That user could then receive an email explaining that some privacy settings (bluetooth usage) were missing...

Apple I just hate you as a developer. Bad tools, bad architecture, bad support.

This happened to me also last week. Nothing changed with my old app, just want to release a new version with minor changes. I uploaded my IPA to server, after some processing, the build was disappeared from the Activity page. I also didn't received any email from Apple describing the error.

I opened a ticket to Apple at Friday. At Tuesday, suddenly all my builds finished processing and be available on the Activity page. I think some triggering was done by Apple. Then I sent my last build to review and they replied my ticket with saying that since my build was in queue for review, is there anything else they can help.

May be someone else can use this information and hope Apple will update their system so that we can see the errors on the web page if any, not wait for an email.

I had the same issue with a Cordova-based App build.

The problem seemed to be that the app was still using UIWebView. I was able to solve the problem by adding <preference name="WKWebViewOnly" value="true" /> to config.xml.
