I've been uploading my app (Find Any File) to the App Store since its very first day, around 2010. It always worked.

But now, after I the last successful release at the beginning of January, I am not able to get my app into the Store any more.

Xcode 16.2 reports that it successfully uploaded my app, without warnings. Yet, it never appears in Connect's TestFlight builds. I just keep seeing this for the new version (2.5.6):

And, after a while (less an hour), that entire 2.5.6 section disappears again as if there had never been an upload for 2.5.6.

I don't get any emails about the submission or about an issue with it, either. It's like my submissions are suddenly blocked by Apple.

Now I cannot submit a new version any more. What's going on there?

I anyone else having a similar issue?

The issue was a symlink in my app: The Info.plist points to a file for the app icon. That file is a relative symlink to an existing icon file. This used to work for many years, and the Finder has no problem with it, either. Just Apple's recent verification process stumbles over it, without sending an error msg about it to me.
