Summary:
I archived an iOS-App and would like to validate/upload for TestFlight.
When tapping "Submit to App Store" or "Validate" in Xcodes Organizer, i get the message, that "communication failed" and i should file a bug.

The attached system.log says "We'll be back soon."

Steps to Reproduce:
Archive iOS-App
open Xcode Organizer
Validate/Submit App

Expected Results:
Validation result/upload result after "Fetching teams from developer portal". Or: a error message, a developer can deal with! "Communication failed" is not very informative about what is going an and whether its a problem of itunes connect or the developer! Please clarify this error message

Actual Results:
Xcode saying "An error occurred while communicating with the Member Center. Please file a bug and include a copy of your System log from Console.app:
http://bugreporter.apple.com/." and no information about what is going on

Version:
Xcode Beta 6.4 (6E23)
