Unable to process lookupSoftwareForBundleId request at this time due to a general error [closed]

Question

I keep getting this error message when trying to validate my app archive (tried multiple apps, multiple archives, etc) in Xcode. What is going on? I've tried everything including rebooting my computer, checking internet connection, rebuilding the archives, trying older archives that worked before, trying different apps all together ... is something wrong on Apple's side?

Edit Added similar screenshot of the same error message from Application Loader

Update Apple must have fixed something because everything started working again a couple hours ago. I assume since it hasn't fixed everyone's situation all at once it must be its something they are fixing in batches for different accounts? I have no solution to offer other than time to wait - I did nothing different and it just started working (I kept trying every hour it seems for over 2 days) until it worked.

Answer 1

This is an Apple problem. Sit on it for a couple hours and try it again.

Why do I say this? I'm having the problem now and by the time I did a Google search on it, there are 2 people in the last 30min commenting on the question saying "I've got this problem too" but before that, the question hasn't been active for a month.

Answer 2

Try to archive and export your App manually and upload via Application Loader. This workaround worked for me.

Answer 3

This error occurs if you don't have created app on itunes.

To successfully upload your mac app from Application Loader you must have to create your app at https://developer.apple.com/ and https://itunesconnect.apple.com/ with same application identifier and application name
