Xcode 9.3 build upload Error: Exception occurred when creating MZContentProviderUpload for provider. (1004)

Question

Error in upload builds on TestFlight/AppStore. I am using Xcode 9.3 and error throws:

An error occurred saving your changes to the Apple database. Exception occurred when creating MZContentProviderUpload for provider. (1004) An unknown error occurred.

Anyone help me why I am getting this error?

Looks like something's up with Apple's servers. I am getting the same error so this confirms that. I was able to upload my app earlier today but from the past one hour, it's not working.

UPDATE: Although the upload went through for me, the app is still stuck under processing. Looks like their servers are still acting up.

UPDATE 2: After waiting for an hour and a half, the app finally got processed.

Happening to me, too. – johnnyb Sep 07 '18 at 16:29
I was able to upload it now. It's under processing. Should work now I think – Mr. Dev Sep 07 '18 at 16:42
I am still unable to upload. – Ryan Maloney Sep 07 '18 at 16:56
Did you try with application loader? You don't need to archive again and again, just keep trying. I didn't close or re-login anything. Eventually it worked for me. – Mr. Dev Sep 07 '18 at 17:11
My Xcode upload failed 3 times in a row with this error. 4th one worked. Keep trying… – John Scalo Sep 07 '18 at 18:02
@Mr.Dev yes tried with Application Loader. But same error. – Vvk Sep 08 '18 at 09:10

This is the temporary issue with Apple Server. Please wait for an hour and try again. Thanks

As I answered in this question. I was getting this error many times during 3 hours. Sometimes along with other errors with it.

What helped: re-loginning toitunesconnect and restarting Mac after that. Build has uploaded from 1st attempt.

Think this was just a coincidence. Didn't not work for me. – Daniel Storm Sep 07 '18 at 18:14
