Application Marketplace Submission Error: can not connect to server please try again later

Question

I'm having a strange and bizarre error message when I try to upload my app for submission in the app store.

The app is a video browser app with embedded videos in the XAP package, it's around 90 Mega bytes in size.

When I start uploading It says saving for about 20 minutes and then gives the error. (error can not connect to server please try again later).

I checked everything, I updated the assembly meta data (copyright, company and the other stuff), I also verified the app against the submission rules, I also monitored it using the Marketplace Test Kit.

It's really strange, I read other forum post on the app hub and checked all the advises but nothing really helped

Anyone faced this before?

Answer 1

Happened to me before, app hubs just really buggy. Leave it a few mins and try another web browser.

Answer 2

Get a better/faster internet connection, and try another browser. That's all you can do.

Answer 3

Sadly App Hub has a 180 sec upload timeout (it was confirmed to me by App Hub team member) so if you have internet connection not fast enough and xap big enough you have no chance to upload it. A possible workaround is to upload it from a dedicated host.
