Xcode validate can't find app in iTunes Connect

Question

I've added a new app in iTunes Connect whose status is "Prepare for upload" and created the archive for it in Xcode with a distribution provisioning profile that specifies "App Store" as a distribution method. When I try to validate it, I get:

No application records were found.

Applications must be ready for upload on iTunes Connect before they can be validated or submitted from within Xcode.

I've checked the CFBundleIdentifier in the archive's Info.plist to make sure it matches the one I used in the iTunes Connect record, which it does. Is there anything else besides the bundle identifier that the validation process uses to match the app entry in iTunes Connect?

Answer 1

It's because your App is on 'Prepare for Upload' state. You have to change its state to 'Ready to Upload Binary' by clicking the following button on your app page, on itunesconnect. It's on the right corner.

And then try again.
