Try using the latest version of Xcode: 15.2

Nothing changed

Maybe it doesn't like something in your plist? Is there a previous version of the app that worked?

(just guessing here because I'm not sure what DVTFailureHintExceptionPreprocessor does)

  • I don't know what could be wrong in the plist, as I'm trying to update an app that already exists in the store and that I had sent a version to TestFlight a few weeks ago.

Full cash report.

I encountered almost similar issue. I’ve export archive file to app Store so far, but all of sudden, build is done but distribute app kills Xcode with back trace. xcode is the most recent version. my issue is posed here.

please give us feedback apple team asap :(

btw do you use flutter package pedometer? This error says something like STEP. My app is counting user’s step and now using this package. I haven’t updated this package’s version.

  • Sorry Step means step to export archive, not related to package 'pedometer'. After struggled with 4 days with this problem as changing a bunch of ios configuration, I just delete Xcode 15.3 and install 15.2 and succeeds. I also deleted Xcode 15.3 and install 15.3, It didn't work as well, which means there should be some bug in Xcode 15.3 deployed March 24. Please look through this problem..

  • Hello hyejunghayat No, I don't use the pedometer package. My app is simple, it's for the university where I work and everything is fine using the emulator.

    And I have no idea what it could be.
