App Store submission rejected with error 90034 despite Apple Distribution signature

Hi,

I’m trying to submit my iOS app Minha Pecuária to App Store Connect, but Apple consistently rejects the build with:

Validation failed (409) Missing or invalid signature. The bundle ‘br.com.minhapecuaria.ios’ is not signed using an Apple submission certificate. Error 90034.

I have already verified that:

  • The app is signed with an Apple Distribution certificate.
  • The App Store provisioning profile is linked to the correct Distribution certificate and Bundle ID.
  • Automatic signing is enabled in Xcode.
  • The exported IPA was independently checked and shows Apple Distribution as the signing authority.
  • The same error occurs through both Xcode Organizer and Transporter.
  • I also reproduced the problem with a clean/new project.

Could anyone from Apple or anyone who has experienced error 90034 confirm what could cause Apple’s server to reject a binary that is correctly signed with Apple Distribution?

Thanks!

Have you checked that all certificates are still valid ?

Yes. I checked them.

The Apple Developer account currently has valid certificates:

  • Apple Development: valid until July 31, 2027
  • Apple Distribution: valid until August 1, 2027
  • Apple Distribution Managed: valid until August 1, 2027

The App Store provisioning profile is also Active and expires August 1, 2027. It is associated with the correct Bundle ID and Apple Distribution certificate.

The issue still occurs, including with a brand-new Xcode project.
