AppStore Submission : Bundle Invalid ?

Post by belgarion » Fri Dec 17, 2010 11:17 am

Hi !

I'm curently trying to upload my app to the appstore throught the Application Loader.
I got these two error messages :

This bundle is invalid. The info.plist file is missing the required key: CFBundeleVersion.


&

This bundle is invalid. The key CFBundleShortVersionString in the Info.plist file must be a period-separated list of at most three non-negative integers.

Do you have any clue on how to resolve this ?

Thank you !

You need to supply a version in the iOS standalone settings pane ('Version' field).

Hi Kevin

Thanks for your answer but i've already done this.
The only way i have to bypass this error message is by opening the app package and editing manually the xml keys wich are like this initialy :

<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string></string>
<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
<string></string>

After editing with Property Editor :

<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>1.0.0</string>
<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
<string>1.0.0</string>

Now i get another error wich says "Application failed codedesign verification. The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an Apple submission certificate".

I see in the plist that this string is not filled :

<key>CFBundleSignature</key>
<string>????</string>

While the "embedded.mobileprovision" file is correctly generated and the pusbishing certificate is the right one (AppStore)

What should i do in your opinion ? Manualy fill-in the string ? But with wich data ?

Thank you for your help. It seems a bit hard to publish an app on the appstore :)

I think I may have found something that may help here. The iOs setting pane in the standalone builder under version already has 1.0.0 listed in the field next to version. But when one goes and builds it does not add the version number to the plist. If you go to that field and delete the 1.0.0 text from the field and re enter it, then save again, it should appear within the plist file. It sounds kind of dumb, but that how I had to get the cfbundleversion to show up on the plist file. Try it and see if that helps.

To find the settings go to, in livecode, File -> Standalone settings and then towards the upper right you will see "iOS"
