When I try to validate an archive with an application using Organizer, before uploading it to the App Store, I get the following error: "Unable to process lookupPurpleSoftwareVersions request at this time due to a general error". Have anyone ever get this message? Is it due to an Apple developer portal problem?

Thank you,

    It seems like it's just a bad day at the office isn't it? First TestFlight was down, now this, I broke my chair, what's next?! I'll set my pants on fire?! – Cyupa Feb 20 '13 at 18:13
  • @Cyupa, can you please post a photograph of that pant-thing when it happens? – Hermann Klecker Feb 20 '13 at 18:24
  • @HermannKlecker It logged in and then it validated the app. Then I tried to upload it to the AppStore and it failed with a couple of error messages that weren't from my side for sure. I'm trying again right now. – Cyupa Feb 20 '13 at 18:29
  • I knew I should have submitted this update last night. Drat! – eclux Feb 20 '13 at 18:46

    @Cyupa, I meant you setting your pants on fire. :) However, uploading seems to work again now. ... "No issues were found in ..." Heureka! – Hermann Klecker Feb 20 '13 at 20:42

Quit and relaunch Xcode. Archive the application again, now try to validate the app, it may work. (This scenario worked in my case :))

There's an issue with the Apple servers. If I keep submitting, I sometimes see this error:

"The server returned an invalid response. This may indicate that a network proxy is interfering with communication, or that Apple servers are having issues. Please try your request again later."
