App update submit - Apple is not currently accepting applications built with this version of the SDK, Xcode

Question

I'm upgrading my app and when I try to submit I get the message "This bundle is invalid. Apple is not currently accepting applications built with this version of the SDK, Xcode"

This is a screenshot from my app. If you need more data about my system or app configuration, just let me know.

Thanks

UPDATE

XCode version: 4.2 - Build 4D177b

Answer 1

The real problem could be your base installation if you have upgraded from 10.6. Check and see with sudo sysctl kern.osversion if you see a trailing letter your system thinks it is a beta verion as in kern.osversion: 11D50b. You can change it with sudo sysctl -w kern.osversion=11D50 but will have to do so after each boot. `

Ok to turn my comment into an Answer:

You will have to upgrade your XCode installation. The current release versions are 4D502 (Lion) and 4C199 (Snow Leopard). Also the "b" at your XCode version indicates that you are using still a beta release which are generally not accepted for app submission.

If the AppStore insist that you have the latest version go to your "Applications" folder and delete the "XCode Installer.app". Then you can download it again from the AppStore.

It probably would also do no harm if you'd removed your installation entirely, therefore go to a terminal and navigate to your XCode directory (usually /Developer) and enter

sudo Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all

Then download a fresh installer from the AppStore and you should be fine.

Answer 3

Apple probably wants your app to be up to date, which means the IDE Xcode also needs to be up to date. Sometimes to update, unfortunately, you might have to download the entire .dmg file from Apple's website again.

Answer 4

The screen shot has nothing to do with the error. The problem should be with your xCode version and the SDK it uses. Upgrade your xCode and it should be fine.
