Submitting the app with Xcode 7.0.1

Question

First off, I've uploaded the build to AppStore using Xcode 7 beta and only after pressing the "Submit for review" it has shown me the following error:

Invalid Toolchain. New apps and app updates must be built with the public (GM) versions of Xcode 6 or later, and iOS 8 SDK or later. Don't submit apps built with beta software.

So I've updated to recent 7.0.1 version, archived the build, uploaded it to App Store.

And guess what? It shows the same error.

Browsed the forum, tried opening the plist file of the archived build, but the "BuildMachineOSBuild" line already contains "14F27" (that worked for other guys on the forum).

Apple forums are filled with cases of this error and nobody has a clue.

NB: The issue was solved by Apple about an hour ago. They reacted pretty fast.

Answer 1

It's a bug, and you're not alone: See https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/20467. Since it's Apple's bug, not yours, there's nothing you can do at this point except file a bug report and wait.

EDIT The OP now reports that Apple has fixed the bug.

Answer 2

You can try to change info.plist of your application.

1. In XCode Archives go to archive's folder (right-click -> Show in Finder)
2. Open Products/Applications/<your app name> -> Show package contents
3. Open info.plist in application package with XCode

4. Significant fields is

   • DTXcode - 0700 (XCode 7.0)
   • DTXcodeBuild - 7A220 (XCode 7.0)
   • DTXcodeBuild - 13A344 (iOS 9 SDK)
   • DTSDKBuild - 13A344 (iOS 9 SDK)

Optionally, you can change BuildMachineOSBuild to 14F27 (Yosemite 10.10.5)

P.S. In most cases, Invalid Toolchain is an iTC bug, that will be fixed sooner or later. This receipt can help you to submit your application, but application itself can become invalid, so, review team can reject it.
