itunes store operation failed in xcode 6

Question

iTunes store operation failed

No eligible software found. Make sure this software is owned by your developer organization.

I get above error while validating app from xcode 6. I don't understand this error why it is coming. Can anyone help me to solve this error?

Thank you

Answer 1

I was able to upload by using Application Loader as suggested in iTunesConnect.

• Archive your app with the distribution provisioning profile
• Export the archive for distribution to somewhere you can find it again.
• Download Application Loader 3.0 from iTunesConnect, if it isn't already installed.
• Open Application Loader
• In AppLoader, Log into the iTunesConnect account you want to release the app from
• In AppLoader, Upload the archive

Not exactly painless, but it does allow you to build with an iTunes developer account and release from a different iTunesConnect ID.

Answer 2

I got this error while validating my app. The problem was that the developer account of which I was using the Provisioning Profile was different from that of the account that I was using to validate my app. In simple words: They were two different APPLE IDs.

You need to add the APPLE ID from which you are using the provisioning profile.

Follow the following steps to get rid of this error and add the APPLE ID:

1. After clicking on "Validate button" ---> Click on "View Accounts".

2. The following window will open. In this window click on + button as shown below.

3. A pop-over showing three option will be opened as shown below. Select "Add Apple ID".

4. A new window will be opened asking you to enter your Apple ID and password as shown below. Enter your Apple ID and password of the developer account from which you have used the provisioning profile. Then press "Add":

5. You will see a new Apple ID added in the list of the Apple IDs.

6. Close the Organizer window. ----> Archive the product again and Validate the app choosing the newly added Apple ID.

This happened to me because I had a different developer and itunesconnect accounts. Make sure you build app with your developer account and submit validation with your itunesconnect account. That worked for me.

Answer 4

As noted by a few others, I was able to resolve this problem by using the Application Loader rather than xCode to send the iPA file to app store. In my case, both xCode and Application loader were using the correct iTunesConnect account, but for some reason, xCode was failing on submitting this app. I could submit other apps without incident, which led me on a wild goose chase thinking the problem was app specific.

Steps to Resolution were:

1. Download to Application Loader from iTunesConnect Website (as of 2/18/15, it's under the Resources and Help button).
2. Install App Loader
3. From xCode, Build/Archive to create distribution package
4. From xCode Organizer, Export the package to a location
5. From App Loader, select the Exported Package IPA file and upload to App Store.

Glad to be past this one!
