Hi @abdulkash,
Have you specified the whatsNew in your release notes file?
Please share a build id, so that i can further investigate the issue.

Hi, I will close this thread due to inactivity but before that let me highlight a couple of things.

If you are facing this issue at the Post-processing step, then it would mean that:

1. There is a release_notes.json file found in the root directory of your repo
2. You are submitting the build to TestFlight beta review.

The post-processing step is triggered in these cases, not particularly when submitting your build to App Store Connect as build submission is already resolved at the Publishing phase. So, it could be either of the above in your case, and worth mentioning that release notes could be generated from your commit messages as well where the required fields are missing. For your self-investigation, you can check it under the Publishing step:

== Gathering artifacts ==
Reading release notes from "release_notes.json"
== Publishing artifacts ==

It would mean that the release notes are retrieved, and missing the required field in your case for ex.
