Having problems with “Validate application” in XCode?
If you’ve recently rejected your own binary from the App Store, and are trying to either run “Validate application” or “Submit application to iTunes connect” on your replacement binary, you might find nothing happens. To fix this, head into iTunes Connect, find your application, click “Replace binary” and go through the steps until you’re prompted for the new image. Then click “Upload binary later”, and save. You app will reenter the “Waiting for upload” state, and the uploader in XCode will magically start working.
Of course, XCode gives absolutely no feedback about the problem – it just does nothing, silently failing. Ironically, the application upload feature of XCode would be rejected during App Review for poor UI feedback and lack of error messages.
