Hi everyone,

I uploaded two builds to App Store Connect today, but they have been stuck in "Processing" status for 10 hours now:

  • Build 1.0 (10): Uploaded at Jan 14, 2026 5:03 AM - still Processing
  • Build 1.0 (9): Uploaded at Jan 14, 2026 4:23 AM(UTC+8) - still Processing

Usually my builds complete processing within 10-30 minutes. Is there a known issue with build processing today, or is there something I should check on my end?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

It seems to be intermittent, any feedback on this issue would be great. We have some builds managing to get to complete while others are stuck in processing. It started happening around:

Same here. Latest upload got an internal server error warning from App Store Connect and builds are now approaching 24 hours of processing when normally it takes under 10 minutes.

Of course, https://developer.apple.com/system-status shows all systems go, so no indication of whether Apple even sees the issue let alone when it will resolve.

I’m facing the same issue. I uploaded a build yesterday and it processed successfully, but every build uploaded after that has been stuck in Processing. It’s been over 14 hours now.

Same issue here. I tried to rebuild it and submit it again, but same issue. Everything was fine last week until suddenly last night builds are stuck in processing. Is everyone using xcode for submission or any other methods like EAS?

Hi!

Can y'all update the apple status page if you are aware its an issue. It would do a lot for transparency for devs experiencing this.
