App Store Connect: Processing stopped for App

Question

App Store Connect: Processing stopped for App

Giacomo Ferrera 21

Hello to all,
when I go to publish my App on the Apple Store, it is rejected with this error email:

While processing your iOS app, errors occurred in the app thinning process, and your app couldn’t be thinned. If your app contains bitcode, bitcode processing may have failed. Because of these errors, this build of your app will not be able to be submitted for review or placed on the App Store. For information that may help resolve this issue, see Tech Note 2432.

I have tried to change any options but nothing done.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

You could try to set bitcode —— open your iOS.cscproj file by TextEdit, add <MtouchEnableBitcode>false</MtouchEnableBitcode> to this file.
You could also try to archive by As Hoc and export an ipa, then try to upload it to App Store by Apple Transporter , it may return the detail error message.
In addition, you could try to use VS for Mac to archive, then you will see the archives under Window ->Organizer ->Archives in Xcode, try to click Distribute App button and upload to AppStore Connect.

Thanks for the reply,

*You could try to set bitcode —— open your iOS.cscproj file by TextEdit, add <MtouchEnableBitcode>false</MtouchEnableBitcode> to this file. *

I tried to add this option in every part of the file ... .iOS.cscproj but it gives me compile error. There is no other option MtouchEnableBitcode already in the file.

You could also try to archive by As Hoc and export an ipa, then try to upload it to App Store by Apple Transporter , it may return the detail error message.
In addition, you could try to use VS for Mac to archive, then you will see the archives under Window ->Organizer ->Archives in Xcode, try to click Distribute App button and upload to AppStore Connect.

I have already tried and both Transporter.app and XCode.app publish my application to me without problems on Apple Store Connect.
But then I always get the usual error email froma Apple.

I find this Tech Note 2432 https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2432/_index.html, you could check it. There is also a Validate App button under Window ->Organizer ->Archives in Xcode, you could try to validate and check if there is any error message.
But I'm not sure if thiere are any third-party libiarises in your project, you could refer to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39390546/itunes-connect-errors-occurred-in-the-app-thinning-process-and-your-app-couldn
