App Record Creation Error with Organizer

  1. I've been trying to send an archive with Organizer to iTunes Connect. It's not my first time. I've been doing it for more than a decade. Anyway, when I try to send a package for my new macOS application, Organizer gives me two error messages that I have never seen before.

App Record Creation Error

App Record Creation failed due to an invalid attribute. The SKU you entered has already been used.

App Record Creation Error

App Record Creation failed due to request containing an attribute already in use. The app name you entered is already being used for another app in your account. If you would like to use the name for this app you will need to submit an update to your other app to change the name, or remove it from App Store Connect.

An odd thing is that, as shown in the screenshot below, Organizer demands that I enter an application name and SKU manually. I've entered the exactly same ones from the App Store Connect page. I didn't see this step on Organizer last month.

I'm using a new SKU for this submission. And I don't have an existing application at iTunes Connect with the same application name.

I guess it's the same issue that has been reported here.. I have no pending contract issues.

How do I send an archive without errors? My Xcode version is Version 16.4 (16F6).

Thanks.

Oops... I've found the cause of the transfer issue. I've reported that my application's bundle identifier as something like com.example.HelloReady3. And my Xcode project has it as something like com.example.HelloReady-3. I'm sorry for blaming you, Apple, Inc. In fact, it was all my fault.

If there is something that I have never done before is that I have the TCA software package (ComposableArchitecture). I seldom use Swift packages. This time, I'm just trying to submit a new software title to test this 3rd-party framework.

I slept on this issue overnight and thought it has something to do with the deployment of Xcode 26. It happens that it was released yesterday, I'm going to install Xcode 26 to see what happens.

I've created a package with Xcode 26 and used its Organizer to send it to iTunes Connect. The same issue stands. This is totally disappointing. I don't know why Organizer now requests me to enter the application name and SKU when the application itself is already registered at iTunes Connect site.
