"Unable to Validate your Application Error" While Uploading a new version of iOS App

I have been trying to upload a new version for my ios App But I always end up receiving this error "UNABLE TO VALIDATE YOUR APPLICATION, "The application you have selected does not exist"

From Xcode Archiver. I followed this question here Xcode 6.4 The Application You Have Selected Does Not Exist

Which suggests to use Application Loader, After doing that I ended up getting bunch of errors such as these

ERROR ITMS-90049: "This bundle is invalid. The bundle identifier contains disallowed characters. [See the section of the Application Programming Guide entitled The Application Bundle.]"
ERROR ITMS-90057: "Missing plist key. The Info.plist file is missing the required key: CFBundleShortVersionString."
ERROR ITMS-90056: "This bundle is invalid. The Info.plist file is missing the required key: CFBundleVersion."
The resulting API analysis file is too large.  We were unable to validate your API usage prior to delivery.  This is just an informational message.

This errors dont make any sense since all the missing keys are already present in my app, along with appropriate bundle ID of my app which has been in the Appstore for an Year now.

Can anybody help me out regarding this,

I seemed to have tried all the solutions I could find, but to no avail, anybody else facing this? Is this another issue from apples server or maintenance side and I just have to wait a couple of hours before they fix it at thier end??

Are you using any frameworks? All frameworks should have the same version as your app. - rckoenes
I am using a bunch of frameworks, but they were all working yesterday when I uploaded it to testflight. - Geet

I was facing the same issue but then i used Application Loader and it worked for me. After validating your app Export your app by selecting option as Save for iOS App Store Deployment and then Just upload your apps ipa using Application Loader.

Workaround Steps Using the Application Loader:

  1. Export your build as a file (Save for iOS App Store Deployment)
  2. Go to Xcode > Open Developer Tool > Application Loader
  3. In Application Loader log in to your account
  4. Select and upload the .ipa file you just exported

Same issue at Xcode 6.4. My workaround.

  1. Rename Xcode 6.4 (Xcode64.app)
  2. Install Xcode 7.1 (Xcode.app)
  3. Build and archive in Xcode 6
  4. Auto launch "Organizer" in Xcode 6 and close
  5. Launch Xcode 7 and Organizer
  6. Submit to App Store

I was with the same issue, Using the Application Loader works for me.

In Organizer, export your app and select the option Save for iOS App Store Deployment I did it and works for me

before that I tried with Save for Ad Hoc Deployment but with no success!

Okay, I was finally able to upload my application heres what was happening, I had used a third party lib., which had an info.plist of its own

this info.plist was the culprit, It didn't had any Bundle Identifier, CFBundleVersion or CFBundleShortVersionString string, so I manually added These 3 keys into that frameworks info.plist and the application got accepted.

Dont know why but this worked, And I was able to upload my app to itunes

Seems to be an issue with Xcode 6.4. Export the ipa and upload it using Application Loader. Relevant Apple Developer Forum Link

This occurred for me when I accidentally left "Include Bitcode" checkmarked (on by default) in my build despite setting the project to not contain bitcode. Uncheckmarking it resolved this issue.
