nable to Distribute iOS App to App Store – Archive Shows Only 'Distribute Content'
Hello Apple Developer Support Team, I am writing to request assistance with an issue preventing me from distributing my iOS app to the App Store. I am able to successfully build and archive my app in Xcode without errors. However, after archiving, Xcode only shows the option “Distribute Content” instead of “Distribute App”. Because of this, I am unable to upload the app to App Store Connect. App & Account Details • App Bundle Identifier: com.yesbuy.yesbuyapp • Team Name: Fathima Sayed Mohamed • Team ID: Z327MG963D • Xcode Version: 26.2 • macOS Version: macOS 15.6.1 Signing & Certificates • Signing Method: Automatically manage signing (enabled) • Signing Certificate (Release): Apple Distribution: Fathima Sayed Mohamed • Provisioning Profile: Xcode Managed / App Store Distribution • Archive Status: Build succeeded What I’ve Already Verified • The archive is created using Release configuration • Skip Install is set to No for the main app target (Runner) • The app target is selected correctly during Archive • A valid Apple Distribution certificate exists • The app is registered correctly in App Store Connect • App Groups and capabilities are configured correctly • Notification Service Extension is present and signed Despite all of this, Xcode still treats the archive as a Generic Xcode Archive and only allows Distribute Content, not Distribute App. I have attached screenshots showing: 1. Xcode Archives screen (showing “Distribute Content” only) 2. Signing & Capabilities for the app target 3. Certificates and provisioning profiles 4. Team ID and bundle identifier configuration Could you please review this issue and let me know: • Why the archive is not recognized as an App Store–distributable app • Whether there is any account, certificate, or configuration issue on Apple’s side • Any steps I should take to resolve this and successfully upload the app to App Store Connect Thank you very much for your time and support. I look forward to your guidance.
