Cannot upload iOS simulator build for Facebook App review

Question

I literally cannot upload iOS simulator build for Facebook App review.

I have an iOS universal (iPhone/iPad) video game that I need to submit to Facebook review in order to get approval for "publish_actions" permission.

I've successfully built the iOS simulator build, compressed it to a ZIP archive and then it simply doesn't get uploaded to the corresponding Facebook web site form.

What I've already tried:

• I've tried to upload different versions of my app - one is 216MB
  compressed, the other is 360MB. Could it be the size of the archive
  that is too big?
• I've tried to use different archive programs to make the ZIP
  archive.
• I've tried to upload it from different browsers (Safari, Chrome)
  and platforms (Mac OS X, Windows 7).

No success at all.

I do the following steps:

• Click the "provide a version" link
• Click the "Use an Uploaded Simulator Build" button
• Click the "Choose a File" button
• Select the ZIP archive with the app
• Then I see a spinning progress bar

And then - nothing happens.

UPDATE:

I've additionally tried the following things as advised:

• Created a new empty application. Did a simulator build. And successfully uploaded it. Size of the archive was 23KB
• Enabled network state logging in dev tools of Chrome, Safari, Firefox and indeed there's no sign of data transfer when uploading my application archive

UPDATE 2:

I've filed a bug to facebook

They know about this issue.

Answer 1

Most internet connections have much crappier upload speed than download speed. Uploading 200MB would really take a long while. How much did you wait?

Try making an empty new project and uploading a build of it to see if it goes up. Try checking your network activity while you're waiting to see if you're really uploading anything.
