Error while trying to validate an iOS application before uploading it to the AppStore [duplicate]

Question

When I try to validate an archive with an application using Organizer, before uploading it to the App Store, I get the following error: "Unable to process lookupPurpleSoftwareVersions request at this time due to a general error". Have anyone ever get this message? Is it due to an Apple developer portal problem?

Thank you,

Answer 1

Quit and relaunch Xcode. Archive the application again, now try to validate the app, it may work. (This scenario worked in my case :))

Answer 2

There's an issue with the Apple servers. If I keep submitting, I sometimes see this error:

"The server returned an invalid response. This may indicate that a network proxy is interfering with communication, or that Apple servers are having issues. Please try your request again later."
