Unable to Add for Review on App Store Connect

append delete Leandro

I updated from buildfer 3.56 and SDK 16.4 which has been working perfectly for almost a year (but because of "all iOS and iPadOS apps must be built with the iOS 17 SDK or later" was forced to update)

So now my environmet is
Windows vesion: 10
Builder version: 3.62
iOS SDK version: 17.4

Built everything with no problem, then uploaded with no problem, but when I tried to add my app for review on the App Store Connect I see this error:

“Unable to Add for Review

The items below are required to start the review process:
New apps and app updates must be built with the latest public (GM) versions of Xcode, and the iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS SDKs. Apps built with beta versions aren't allowed.”

I dont understand what could be considered "beta" as far as I know my environment has no beta versions
macOS Sonoma 14.3.1
Xcode 15.3

I'm quite lost as what to even look for now

Hello (and sorry for the delay of my response)

It would be interesting to compare the contents of the Info.plist of your app, the one generated by the builder, and one generated by Xcode. The build tool versions are usually saved here.

Another place to look for is in the Mach-O load commands of the compiled binaries.

Do you have the possibility to do an Xcode build of your app ? If so, if you also have the skills to do that comparison yourself, please do (and tell me which interesting discrepancies you find) ; if not, please send me the two apps, i.e. the one created by the builder and the one that Xcode creates - and I'll do the comparison myself.

Once I know that info, if something needs a fix, I'll be able to provide it quickly.

I get the exact same error while trying to submit my test flight build to review for production.
My environment is:

Windows version: 11
Builder version: 3.64
iOS SDK version: 17.4

I'm not sure about comparing the info.plist files, I found one in the build that was created by Unity but I'm not sure what to look for.

Update:
I tried to migrate an older version of xcode (15.2, ios 17.2) and I get the same exact error.
I did notice something strange while executing the first script of the migration process on mac, here is the full log: https://pastebin.com/7gTvwPZs
I'll add that I have an older mac that doesn't support xcode 15 so I had to download it manually from this site as explained in the tutorial: https://xcodereleases.com
