Xcode 11 using organizer to upload IPA fails

Question

I recently upgraded to Catalina and Xcode 11.

Now when I try to upload an archive from the organizer, I get a simple error saying «"Error Domain=WorkerErrorDomain Code=-10000 "An error occurred uploading to the App Store."»

Since this isn't really an error message, I tried to use xcrun altool to upload the ipa.

That's when things get interesting. This fails with the following error:

Java 1.5 or Java 1.6 is required. Currently, java is the default java version. Please upgrade.

Java 1.6 is ancient! There's not even a downloadable package available for Catalina.

Any ideas what's going wrong here?

This is the output of the command line tool (redacted for paths and secret-codes):

Answer 1

The culprit was a directory on my system named "/usr/local/itms/" which had a very old iTMSTransporter from 2008 in it. Xcode using that old tool for some reason. After I deleted that whole directory and relaunched Xcode, it worked!

Answer 2

Usexcodebuild is better

xcodebuild -exportArchive -exportOptionsPlist /pathTo/ExportOptionsUpload.plist -archivePath /pathTo/App.xcarchive

ExportOptionsUpload.plist include

<key>destination</key>
<string>upload</string>

See detail by

man xcodebuild  

Answer 3

Go to Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies and check "Auto Proxy Discovery" and "Automatic Proxy Configuration", other proxy options cannot be checked. And finally uncheck "SOCKS Proxy" option, this resolved the issue for me.
