Apple-hosted asset pack statuses
The asset pack status tells you immediately whether your asset pack version needs attention. The status applies only to the version of an asset pack, not the entire app or asset pack.
-
A red status indicator (
) means that you need to perform some action.
-
A yellow status indicator (
) means that some process is ongoing, controlled either by you or by Apple.
-
A green status indicator (
) means the asset pack is ready to be tested in TestFlight or live on the App Store.
TestFlight statuses
You can view the TestFlight status of an asset pack version under the TestFlight tab in App Store Connect and in the Asset Packs section under General on the Distribution tab.

Awaiting Upload |
You've created a new asset pack version using the App Store Connect API but haven't uploaded it yet. If you're using Transporter, iTMSTransporter, or altool, new asset pack versions are automatically created when you upload an asset pack, so the Processing status will likely display instead. If you've uploaded a version using these tools and it's stuck in the Awaiting Upload status for more than 24 hours, contact us. |
|
Your asset pack version is still being processed. You'll receive an email notification when the version is ready. If you upload an asset pack and it remains in the Processing status for more than 24 hours, there may be an issue. To resolve the issue, contact us. |
|
Apple received your asset pack version, but it has one or more issues and can't be tested. You'll receive an email with more details about why the delivery failed. Resolve any issues, then redeliver the asset pack. |
