Did anyone was able to submit an Apple Watch App in the last 12 hours ?

Since yesterday evening app submission is crashing for some users (including me)


* If you use Application Loader, you get an error message about the use of a Private Framework, "SockPuppetGizmo". I could copy/paste the error message, but you can't copy Archive submission errors. I won't comment on that. See https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/5797 for original report.


The SockPuppetGizmo is a private internal framework that is added by apple build process to automatically to any watchkit app.


* If you use xcode 6.3.1, it will crash when displaying the error message, unless you close the Xcode window while the organizer uploads. There is a report about that in https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/5793?sr=stream&ru=7188 , and it doesn't seem related, as users are able to upload using Application Loader when they close the window


So my question is: "Did anyone succeeded in submitting an app with WacthKit in the last 12 hours ?"


If someone succeeded, I'd like to know


* What version of Xcode are you using ?

* Did you install the Xcode beta on your system ? (because this is something I did, and it may be the cause of the issue).

It should work if you close your project during the upload for non-watch app (or use Application Loader)

You're not alone. This seems to be a general issues since yesterday when you try to submit Apps with Watch support. I hope APple will fix this soon.

Well, I did put a link in this thread in my post, so I obviously knew about it :-)


However, I am not sure that this is linked to WatchKit, because, if you check the other thread, you can see that people are able to submit via Application Loader, which is failing in the case of WatchKit app, so I suspect the crash is for everyone, and the workaround is for non-watchkit users.

This is what I am trying to know. I would feel better if no-one else was able to submit -- it would mean that Apple is going to do something. If we are only a few thousands to be impacted because we have been sharded to a broken server, it could be much worse.

I was able to submit a non-WatchKit app yesterday without a problem after my WatchKit enabled app failed with this SockPuppetGizmo issue. I think this is only releated to WatchKit apps. Using Xcode 6.3.1

The first 24 hours of issue are gone.

Yup Xcode crashes for me when submitting any app, watch or not.

I can't send, even if you close the project
