Testflight builds getting stuck in processing

My TestFlight uploads are stuck in processing. I tried two different uploads, and both are showing "Processing".

The first one was uploaded more than an hour ago

Guys I got mine to work in the following way:

(Apple clearly isn't coming to the rescue, they're like the DMV at this point, so maybe this will help somebody...)

NOTE: All my apps use Expo and eas build (which I run locally).

  1. I had 4 builds for the same app stuck in Processing purgatory. So I tested another app in another dev account, and it worked. This was a clue.
  2. I tried making swift changes, bundle version changes, everything, and it didn't work at all.
  3. So I ran expo prebuild, opened the app in Xcode, old school method, I didn't change any code at all, just the bundle version AND build number, and I ran Archive. Then I submitted it to App Store Connect from inside Xcode, and it worked. Who knows why, but it worked, and my other builds are still endlessly processing. There you go.

Good luck out there everyone

Same here.

This issue has caused Xcode Cloud builds to hang for hours after the Archive has been completed, only stopping when I aborted them. Will these hours be counted towards my Xcode Cloud limit?

Could it be our CI pipelines need XCODE updated? Or just wait for apple to fix

I have the same issue and I thought i was the same. I kept on refreshing.

Mine has been stuck on processing for a little over 11 hours now

I have two uploads from: all in Jan 13th, 2026. It's been 24 hours, they are all in "processing" state. Submitted a ticket and no response so far. Now it's Jan 14th.

I have a build stuck in processing since Jan 14, 2026 3:05 AM PST. I submitted a few more times over the course of 6 hours. All are stuck in processing. Previously these processing times were taking only 10 minutes or so when I have been pushing builds over the last week.
