Question or issue on macOS:
Will I be capable of submitting an app with Xcode 7.3.1 while on the macOS 10.12 beta? According to this post, it is possible to run Xcode 7 alongside macOS 10.12.
How to solve this problem?
- All downloads are hosted by Apple. Links on this site take you directly to Apple’s download pages. This is not an official Apple website. Please consider donating to help maintain it.
- Alternatively, If all you want is a a compilation environment for Objective-C, C, and Swift v4.n, the Command Line Tools (macOS 10.13) for Xcode will provide that at 7GB less storage. You would then need a competent programmer's editor, and you can still build hand-coded cocoa applications. This is my preference.

Dec 12, 2020 Best to stay away from the macOS 10.12 beta if you want to continue developing for iOS 9. Hope this helps! Tagged app-store-connect libtool-xcode MacOS macos-carbon macos-catalina macos-high-sierra macos-mojave macos-sierra xcode Xcode 10.2 xcode-6.2 xcode-command-line-tools xcode-extension xcode-instruments xcode-organizer xcode-server xcode.
Yes, you can! But if you’re tying to do this, you will find two problems.
no .app file provided in bundle
Build with Xcode 7.3.1 then upload using Xcode 8 [Beta]. This will allow you to upload the archive.
When trying to submit to the store you will be faced with this error message:
New apps and app updates must be built with the public (GM) versions of Xcode 6 or later, OS X, and tvOS SDK. Don't submit apps built with beta software including beta OS X builds.
This is because your archive contain the Sierra’s mark! I just solved this problem yesterday.
When you archived your app, find your archive in the Organizer, and then:
Xcode For Macos 10.12.6
- “Show in finder”;
- “Show package contents”;
- In the “xx.xcarchive” file, find the “Products”-“Applications”-“xx.app”(xx is your app’s name), “Show package contents” again;
- Finally, you can see there has a file named”Info.plist”, open it;
- Edit the value with a key named “BuildMachineOSBuild”, I just change it to “15F34″(it’s “El Capitan 10.11.5” ‘s version);
After that, you can upload this archive use Xcode or Application Loader, whatever you want!

Decided to try it out myself. Both methods of exporting through Xcode and Application Launcher failed with an error stating there was no .app file provided in bundle. Best to stay away from the macOS 10.12 beta if you want to continue developing for iOS 9.
