My new app build is in iTunes Connect with status Processing

Question

Maybe I have a stupid question, but after the update to Xcode 7, I sent a new version of my app to the App Store (via standard: Archives - Organizer - Upload to App Store). But now it is my build in iTunes Connect in tab Prerelease with status Processing (btw more than 12 hours), and I do not know why. Why is my build in Prereleasse tab? Previously, I uploaded new build the same way and I could have it for a few minutes to submit for review. Thx for help.

Update: After more than 48 hours, I can finally submit my new build for review! ;-)

Answer 1

The issue seems to be related specifically to Xcode 7. Some people have mentioned these work arounds to get it to go:

1) Use Application Loader and not Xcode to submit to iTunes.

2) Re-submit with new Xcode 7.1 beta.

3) Re-submit with old Xcode 6.4.

Your milage may vary.

Edit: Problem seems to be solved now, it appears to have been related to that exploited Xcode issue in China which caused significant iTunes Connect delays.
