Weekly Wrap-up: June 6, 2025

Clearer error messages and a smoother login experience are the focus of this week’s updates. Users experiencing App Store Connect validation failures or errors when <splash> tags are detected will now have an easier time troubleshooting their builds. We also fixed a bug on our website — now you can log in from any page!

Error Update: App Store Connect Validation Failed

We made two important updates to the the App Store Connect Validation Failed error:

1. We added a clearer diagnosis of what went wrong: The new App Store Connect Validation Failed error message explains why the validation failed — for example, because the app has been removed or deleted.
2. We reclassified the error type: The new error is classified as a UserError because App Store Connect validation failures indicate an issue with your app configuration or Apple account settings. Classifying the error as a ServerError led to some confusion.

These updates will help make your troubleshooting more efficient.

Error Update: Splash Tags Detected

The error when the deprecated <splash> tags are detected has also been updated to provide more specific guidance on resolving the issue. The new error still advises you to migrate to the <preference> tag, and then update your config.xml file.

Login Bugfix Correction

We also improved the login experience on the site this week by fixing an issue preventing you from logging in from some pages on the site. You can now log in from any page on the site (including this news post page — give it a try!).

You may see a brief “authenticating” message during login, but we’re working to remove that for an even smoother login experience.

Wrapping Up

We’re on the lookout for things we can do to make your experience on our site and using our build service better. If you have questions, feedback, or need support, drop us a line on our Support Forum — we’ll be happy to hear from you!

That’s all for this week! Happy building!
