Is anyone else having issues uploading an archive to App Store Connect? I went to validate an archive of my app, and seems to hang during validation. I've tried just validating the app, and tried Transporter as well. It hangs on the analyzing app. How to troubleshoot?
issue with Xcode 27 RC uploading to App Store Connect
I'm running into the same problem. Did you figure anything out?
I haven’t yet. Just heard back from developer support who sent me to ai generated answers, which would be useful if I was using Xcode 15 instead of Xcode 27.
i put detailed comments plus logs and diagnostics in the feedback system, but I’m doubtful I’ll hear anything from that.
Update — September 13, 2026
I’ve now completed an additional diagnostic test using Xcode Cloud, which significantly narrows down the issue.
I configured Xcode Cloud to use:
- Xcode 27 Release Candidate (27A266a)
- macOS Golden Gate 27 beta 8 (26A5425a)
- The same Git repository and Xcode project
- The same application and committed Package.resolved
The workflow performed:
- Archive – iOS
- TestFlight Internal Testing – iOS
Both completed successfully, and the resulting build is now visible in App Store Connect/TestFlight.
This is important because my local Xcode 27 installation still hangs during the ContentDelivery / swinfo validation stage after successfully creating and packaging the archive.
So far the comparison is:
Local Xcode 27: Archive ✅ → IPA/package preparation ✅ → ContentDelivery/swinfo validation ❌ hangs
Xcode Cloud with Xcode 27: Archive ✅ → TestFlight distribution ✅ → Build appears in App Store Connect ✅
This makes an application/project problem much less likely and points increasingly toward an issue with the local Xcode 27 ContentDelivery/swinfo validation path.
I’ve also submitted the additional evidence to Apple Developer Support and updated the Feedback Assistant report. The relevant local Xcode logs and swinfo diagnostic have already been attached to the feedback report.
I’m posting this update in case anyone else experiencing the same Xcode 27 validation hang can compare their results with this Xcode Cloud test.
I had the same issue on macOS 27 with Xcode 27: app validation/upload would hang, and running xcrun swinfo directly also failed.
Deleting the old ~/.itmstransporter folder fixed it for me. After that, retry validation/upload. My folder contained old Transporter files dating back to 2018–2019.
Having the same problem. No .itmstransporter folder either.
