Upload or update App from Xcode beta to App Store

Here, I will share a trick to remove the restriction of Apple that prevents you from uploading or updating apps to App store from Xcode beta versions.

One of my reddit mates just shared how he managed to do that.

So I will be sharing this with you, but I will not recommend you do this at all as playing with that plist file in this way is not a good thing if you care about your Dev account.

So in the organizer in Xcode, right click on the archive and select show in Finder.

Then, right click on the file and show package contents. There’s an info.plist here, but it’s the wrong one so ignore it.

Go to Products>Applications, and then show package contents again. Now, you’ll want to open this info.plist.

At this point, you’ll probably want to repeat all of these steps with an archive made with Xcode 15.

Then, you’ll want to replace the following information in the Xcode 16 plist with the info from the Xcode 15 archive:

– DTPlatformName
– DTSDKNane
– BuildMachineOSBuild
– DTPlatformBuild
– DTXcodeBuild
– DTXcode

– DTPlatformVersion
