Can't create new app version on App Store Connect

It's not possible to create a new version for any App Store Connect app.

To reproduce, I navigate to my app and click the (+) button to create a new version number. I type in a version number, and click "Create."

It fails with an error, "An error has occurred. Try again later."

When I view it in the Network tab of the Web Inspector, it shows that there's a 500 error.

{
	"errors": [{
		"status": "500",
		"code": "UNEXPECTED_ERROR",
		"title": "An unexpected error occurred.",
		"detail": "An unexpected error occurred on the server side. If this issue continues, contact us at https://developer.apple.com/contact/."
	}]
}

The same error occurs when I attempt to create an app store version using the App Store Connect API.

Same issue

I have the same issue. Struggling to create a new version of the app.

Hello, thank you for these reports. We believe we have resolved this issue. If you continue to experience issues adding new versions, please contact us.

Ten hours later and still grappling with the same issue...

Seems to be resolved now for us.

resolved now for us

Asset validation failed Invalid Version. The build with the version “1.9” can’t be imported because a later version has been closed for new build submissions. Choose a different version number. (ID: 0cb9ef1a-e4af-48ed-9279-f31686169f20)

Asset validation failed Invalid Pre-Release Train. The train version '1.3' is closed for new build submissions (ID: 67f71f7f-e21c-4495-8a3a-38f7ccf0222f)

Asset validation failed This bundle is invalid. The value for key CFBundleShortVersionString [1.3.0] in the Info.plist file must contain a higher version than that of the previously approved version [1.20]. Please find more information about CFBundleShortVersionString at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/cfbundleshortversionstring (ID: 8cb5cafe-f932-4dc5-a9a7-eca59fbe4137)

Getting this error now!!!!! the app itself was invisibile, dont know what is 1.9? it is not mentioned anywhere, we have given it as 1.3

I have the same issue. At least one app does not show up in appstoreconnect. The app is still in the app store, though. And https://developer.apple.com/system-status/ claims all is fine.

same here

Same problem here

Same issue here; Apple changed something. It looks like when you create a new version, the process is being scheduled now, so it may take a few seconds to appear; it never happened before. The problem that we are still facing is that some new versions were either stuck or had data inconsistencies, and we are still unable to create new versions for those apps that have already failed. If you attempt to create a new version with same version as failed, you will get version already exists, if you tried another one, you get an unknown error. Please avoid doing the schedule thing, makes no sense and cause a lot of problem. Please run a query and delete all those version for everyone and revert the last changes. I have contacted Apple already, but we need to deliver urgent fix. We tried to user API and see if the version exists, but it doesn't.

Still having the problem. We need to create a new version ASAP - but we can't because of this bug. This is damageable for our business.

Resolved by uploading a new build via Xcode (build version == AppStoreConnect version)

The same issue with our App. Re-subbmiting the app (via API) didn't help. We are still using Xcode 14.3.1 maybe that's the issue

Anyone found a solution?

Same problem

I can confirm that I'm encountering the same issue

I am also encountering the same issue. I have been unable to make a new version either via the API or through the developer portal. A version I've never used before is saying it is already in use, and another unused version just throws an error.

Same issue here since yesterday!

Same issue since 2 days. I even uploaded same version testflight build but new version did'nt appear on Appstore connect. Already contacted Apple but no reply yet.

I'm using Fastlane to manage metadata, and this tool successfully creates a new submission.

This issue persists on our account. Somehow only one app is affected. Any solution yet?

It's incredible, it's a very serious bug, because it completely prevents new updates from being submitted and Apple does nothing!

I'm having the same issue as of today!!

Problem persist even after the planned maintenance, not sure what is going on. 6 days without a solution on a critical matter that is widely used.
