How to Upload an IPA to App Store Connect

A successful upload may not appear immediately. Check the package first, then allow Apple time to process the build.

1. Check the IPA

Use release signing, match the Bundle ID to the App Store Connect record and make sure the marketing version and build number are correct and unique.

2. Choose an upload method

Upload with Xcode Organizer, Transporter or a suitable publishing tool. Use an App Store Connect account with permission or an app-specific password.

3. Wait for processing

Apple processes every uploaded build. If a build remains unavailable, check account email for a processing failure before reviewing signing, versions and export settings.

4. Select the build

When processing finishes, select the build on the app version page, complete export compliance and other required fields, then submit the version for review.
