Stuck on an issue?

Lightrun Answers was designed to reduce the constant googling that comes with debugging 3rd party libraries. It collects links to all the places you might be looking at while hunting down a tough bug.

And, if you’re still stuck at the end, we’re happy to hop on a call to see how we can help out.

On Mac I get "This build is using a beta version of Xcode and can't be submitted."

See original GitHub issue
  • Electron-Builder Version: 22.11.10
  • Node Version: 16.13.2
  • Electron Version: 13.3.0

  • Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): current

  • Target: Mac App Store

When we upload our build to the app store it goes through, however when creating an external beta test in TestFlight we get the following error message:

This build is using a beta version of Xcode and can't be submitted. Make sure you're using the
latest version of Xcode or the latest seed release found on the releases tab in a
href="https://developer.apple.com/news/releases/" target=" blank">News and Updates

We build with a release version of Xcode and if I look at the binaries in node_modules/electron/dist

which by the way are

./Electron.app/Contents/Frameworks/Electron Helper (Renderer).app/Contents/Info.plist
./Electron.app/Contents/Frameworks/Electron Framework.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Info.plist
./Electron.app/Contents/Frameworks/ReactiveObjC.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Info.plist
./Electron.app/Contents/Frameworks/Squirrel.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Info.plist
./Electron.app/Contents/Frameworks/Mantle.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Info.plist
./Electron.app/Contents/Frameworks/Electron Helper (Plugin).app/Contents/Info.plist
./Electron.app/Contents/Frameworks/Electron Helper (GPU).app/Contents/Info.plist
./Electron.app/Contents/Frameworks/Electron Helper.app/Contents/Info.plist
./Electron.app/Contents/Info.plist

and check all their Info.plist files they tell me:

<key>DTXcode</key>
<string>1240</string>
<key>DTXcodeBuild</key>
<string>12D4e</string>

And ^ this doesn’t seem to be a Non-Release version.

So does anyone know if there’s a problem with the distributed Electron files? Or with the builder? Help is appreciated.

Dealing with the same issue right now. I am able to submit this Version to the AppStore or to an internal TestFlight group. However I am unable to publish it to an external TestFlight group. I asked Apple Support why this version is not allowed, lets see their response.
