fastlane: "Could not find any available candidate builds on iTunes Connect to submit" when uploading and submitting a new binary

Issue Description

When submitting a new iOS binary for review, the binary upload succeeds but the submission fails with Could not find any available candidate builds on iTunes Connect to submit. If there are older builds that have been uploaded previously but not submitted, deliver picks one of those and submits it instead of the one that was just uploaded. This fastlane output doesn’t include that as no old builds were sitting around unsubmitted.

Random shot in the dark as to a possible cause is that our visible version label (1.100.0) differs from the build number of the binary (100.12.0).
