I am trying make a deployment using ant, i have an error concerning Approval processes, i am wondering if we can really deploy an approval process using ANT:

All Component Failures:
1.  package.xml -- Error: ApprovalProcess cannot be a component in a managed or unmanaged package. Remove ApprovalProcess from package.xml to deploy unpackaged components.

Do you know why ?

    My guess is that your package.xml has a fullName member; approval processes can't be in a package.

When you add fullName to a package.xml, the metadata API assumes you're trying to insert/update a package instead of deploying unpackaged metadata. You must not specify fullName when deploying components that cannot be packaged.

    @OK999 No, the OP added a "fullName" attribute to their package.xml, which resulted in an error message. You cannot package approval processes, so attempting to create a project with it generates an error.

  • @OK999 Most people have probably never used it, it's mostly for ISVs, but it's something good to know if you need it.
