I'm not convinced. At the start of the year, I could SSH in to my Mac and launch Xcode from the SSHed terminal (lanchctl managername of "Background"), but some updates since have prevented this, resulting in this same error. I've also found doing this from the terminal on the Mac (launchctl managername of "Aqua") only works when Xcode isn't already running, otherwise it says the same thing.

We currently have this issue, but there is no way we are submitting to the official app store until we have alpha and beta tested the app. This means we have to release a whole new app with a new bundle identifier and everything, just because Apple expired our build? Sounds like a major bug to me.
