App Store Submission: “No Eligible software found. Make sure this software is owned by your developer organization”

While submitting an app recently I came across this error and it tripped me up for a few hours.

The error occurred during submission to the app store,
“No Eligible software found. Make sure this software is owned by your developer organization”

What I found is this– since my developer account was added to another organization’s iTunes connect account, submission through Xcode was not properly identifying me as that organization developer.

The solution is simple.

Instead of submitting through the Xcode organizer, do an export instead. Select “Save for iOS App Store Deployment.” and save the export file to your desktop.
Then, in Xcode, select “Xcode -> Developer Tool-> Application Loader”. Log in with your organization’s developer account (the same log in you use to create your app update in iTunes connect). and upload the app you exported to your desktop.

Boom! Problems solved.
