iTUNES Store Operation Failed: description length

Could someone please point me in the right direction for this error please? It is my first attempt to publish an APP


I must say publishing an APP is the most tedious and inexplicable process that has little or no proper instruction and little or no apparent consistent process, all apps get reviewed developers therefore get reviewed, does anyone review this process?

Let's assume that your question "...this error..." refers to the title of the post. Let's focus on the question and ignore the complaint.


I assume that you are entering information into the metadata for the app. Something is the wrong length. Check the length of each entry. The title of an app is now limited to, I think, 30 characters. The description of the app is limited to, I think 3000 characters. Try shortening your entries in the metadata and see if the error goes away.

Thank you PBK, I am not 100% sure if this is correct, but I suspect it was the "description" box in the xcode archive utility and I suspect my description was too short, I added some random rambling in it and the upload worked. Kinda frustrating experience, the utility knows exactly what it is struggling with but doesn't provide clear feedback at all.


Thanks for trying though, much appreciate and i will try not to complain so much

Actually it does not. We all program stuff and handle 'error codes' only until we run out of patience. I usually do something like if (error is 1) then respond (1 response) else if (error is 2) then respond (2 response) else if (error is 3) then respond (3 response) else (oh darn, enough already, just say 'error'). You are getting that last response.


As time goes on Apple adds more and more useful information to errors. Nothing demonstrates that better than early Xcode versus now. And thankfully we have stackoverflow as a resource.

Did you ever get this solved? I'm running into it now.

You should check your icon assets. I had the same problem, solved by adding new 1024p icon (.jpg) to assets.
