iOS Question signiant upload error

[Markos]

Hi All,

I have been using the b4i upload to itunes connect successfully for months until today. It is saying signiant error or invalid port. Has anyone else been getting this with any newly created IPA's?

I tried it on different Internet providers so it may be some new requirment or update by apple causing this?

Any thoughts on what it might be?

Thanks

Mark

Have you used a store certificate and provision profile?

 

[Markos]

Hi Erel,

Yes Store c cert and prov file is being used it worked up until Wed (since Jan 2016) this week and just Thur morning I was getting this error out of the blue. Most confusing.

I tried 3 different ISP's so I know its not a firewall issue either. What do you think it may be?

The store Cert and Prov file are valid until 2017

 

[Markos]

Hi I revoked the old certs and prov and created new ones and the error still persists.
One side question, as I created new certs and prov files would I need to reupload all my apps that are currently on the appstore using the new cert/prov files? or they are good without having to do that?

I'm attaching the full upload report for your kind vet

Hi All,

Whilst the necessary research is happening I'm trying to analyse the root cause to assist. The last possible causes 'may' be attributed to:

1) Changes implemented in the host builder Wed 22nd June
2) Apple implemented new requirements in their parser for itunes connect on Wed 22nd
3) An Apple bug from a recent patch
4) A conspiracy to give me a good migrane

Has anyone attempted to post an app on itunes connect within the last 24hrs using a build from host builder and used b4i application loader??

If so please state if you were successful or had error msg's.

Thanks

Mark

I yesterday created a new verison and uploaded it without any problem. And 2 days ago created another one and uploaded without problem

Are you Using both Host Builder and b4i Application loader? my last successful uploads was all of Wed, only Thur started with these error prompts.

Thanks for replying. Not hearing anything from other experts so I don't know if it's being researched or I'm in limbo on this one. I asked Apple but I know that's gonna take a bit unless it's an issue for many peeps.

I wonder if b4i loader is corrupted and I should reinstall. But it produces good IPA build files at least for the developer provisioning I test on the iphone6

 

[tufanv]

Yes hosted and b4i uploader.

Don't Worry , Erel would look into this and help you somehow. I uploaded last ipa and sent to store successful exactly around 14.00 gmt Thursday. I did not try any other upload since then FYI.

Good Man,

Thank goodness not an isolated madness. Now we'll see if it's an Apple patch problem or a new standard they need to share with IDE supporters to comply with.

Any luck? I'm still getting the error this morning.

 

[xeriko]

i getting error too.

is there any workaround for this?

I havent yried it today as yet. I am holding on for feedback as well. I suspect we will hear from Erel or Apple soon.

 

[Erel]

I've just tried to update an existing app using the hosted builder and it was successful.

Do you still get this error?

Is this a new application or are you upgrading an existing one?

 

[Markos]

I just tried it and it failed again. I initially was trying a new version of an app, then I tried an previously uploaded version but just changed the version number and it failed too. Why is it that some of us have the issue and other do not. I think this is an apple related and only apple fixable issue. It may be specific account profile changes happening or a file system related issue be it a currupt mounted file system or a port permission change that if it persists will spread to more and more users/accounts or a bad patch only affecting some users.

I'm sending an ipa and loader log as well as my synopsis to apple for them to investigate. What version of xcode is on the host builder they asked for that too.

Cheers

Mark

My guess is that Apple will solve this issue in a day or two. If possible I would like to test it here. Can you or someone else who encounters this issue send me the ipa file with the Apple credentials (to [email protected])?
