Description

Hi

When attempting to upload a React Native app (version 0.77) we encountered the following error:

ITMS-90426: Invalid Swift Support - The SwiftSupport folder is missing. Rebuild your app using the current public (GM) version of Xcode and resubmit it.

If to check ipa folder we can see that content includes only 2 folders:

Symbols

Could you please tell us why it does not include Swift Support folder?

Thank you

Which version of Xcode are you using to build? Starting from the 25th of April, you must use Xcode 16 to build and upload the apps to the App Store.

Version of XCode - 16.2

[cipolleschi]

Can you try with Xcode 16.3? This is not something related to React Native. The error states that the app has not been created with the right version of Xcode. Are you archiving it from your laptop or by using some sort of CI system?
We don't control that part of the build system.
