Answer 1

Go find the cause of error, you have to find xml file. Click View Log and get full path.

Path usually starts as var\folders\0s\... To find var folder, open Finder > Go to folder, Enter /var. After navigating to .itmsp file, right click on and select Show Package Contents.

Open metadata.xml using any text editor except TextEdit or xcode, since they won't ahow any special character present in the file. They usually escape it. I used Sublime Text. It showed me a special unicode being attached to app version anonymously, which was causing xml to be invalid.

Hope it helps!
