iTunes software service authentication error domain error 434

Question

I am uploading iPhone application using latest xCode 8. I have good internet connection and all the relevant settings set up at iTunes connect. My distribution profiles are also set up correctly.

I am facing below error:-

iTunes software service authentication error domain error 434

Solution 1

So this has what worked for me:

Preface: 4 days of debugging, recreated certificates numerous times, nothing worked, every time i try to validate/upload via Xcode it says same error "iTunes software service authentication error domain error 434"

Solution without XCode:

1. Create archive in Xcode
2. Export IPA in Organiser (Xcode > window > Organiser)
3. Open Application Loader and manually choose IPA generated
4. Done

Solution with XCode:

1. Create archive in Xcode
2. Click Validate
3. Unselect BitCode
4. Check if its validated, mine got validated when i unchecked bitcode
5. Not Try to genrate similar fashion with Bitcode unselected
6. If all goes fine now generate with Bitcode Checked(mine worked with these exact steps)
7. Done

Solution 2

This is a very common error while uploading a build to iTunes Connect. A simple answer to it : "Just RETRY".

Solution 3

To resolve this error follow these methods.

1. If you have not added app icons add them and try archiving.
2. Remove developer account and add account again. Press CMD + , to bring up preferences in Xcode and from accounts remove and add back account. Try archiving this.
3. Clean project (CMD + Shift + K), close Xcode, restart Xcode and build project (CMD + B). Check for warnings. ( if you are using cocapods some times Xcode asks you to change project settings in warning. Click on warning and fix it. Xcode fixes it automatically)
4. Simply retry archiving.

ToDo. Add More solutions

Solution 4

In my case the problem was the virus protection software I am using. I turned it off before attempting validation and everything went fine.

Solution 5

Change the network connection and application submit via Application Loader

Solution with XCode works fine when I did the validation... thanks! I'm using XCode 8.3.1 (for the record).

Number 3 worked for me. This should be the correct answer.

As I read this after I got the first error, I clicked "validate" a second time and waited for it to run...and it worked. I'm trying this next if the upload fails.

What was the name of the AV?

This should be the first step in any answer to this problem.
