Hi team, I'm sorry to bother you all with this (again)

My environment is:
- Mojave 10.14.6
- XCode 11.3

Using LC 9.6.1 when I upload with Transporter 1.2.1 I get
Using LC 9.6.2 (rc3 or rc5) on top of that I also get
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help!

Have you created a provisioning profile in the dev portal? If this is for distribution in the app store then it needs to be a distribution profile, not a development profile. Once you have the profile installed in Keychain you should assign it to the app in standalone settings. That should fix the first error.

I'm not sure what would cause the build error in your second image. I think you must have installed the command line tools for Xcode since building with 9.6.1 worked. I haven't checked but maybe 9.6.2 needs a different version of Xcode.

Hi Jacque, thanks for your reply, remarks below

Have you created a provisioning profile in the dev portal?

Yes, as a matter of fact I'm trying to upload a new version of an APP which is already available on the Apple Store.

If this is for distribution in the app store then it needs to be a distribution profile, not a development profile. Once you have the profile installed in Keychain you should assign it to the app in standalone settings. That should fix the first error.

I understand the process and, just in case, I've created a new distribution provisioning profile but the result is exactly the same

I'm not sure what would cause the build error in your second image.

Interestingly enough, even with the build error the application gets generated!

I think you must have installed the command line tools for Xcode since building with 9.6.1 worked. I haven't checked but maybe 9.6.2 needs a different version of Xcode.

According to the Announcement for the Release of 9.6.2 RC 5 I've the proper Xcode Version (11.3). The only difference is with regards to the macOS version which is 10.14.6 in my case and 10.14.4 is mentioned in the release, but I don't think that could be the cause
Anyway I opened a Support Request and Elanor has been interacting with me

Hi Simon, I have the same or at least similar development set-up. Macos 14.6, Xcode 13.3, LC 9.6.1 Indy. I created a distribution profile for iOS and I was able to deliver the app via transporter (with a warning, see below). Initially I had problems with my provisioning profile as well, and after two nights fiddling around I found this forum tip which helped me, I just downloaded and installed the certificate that was linked in the post and than I got everything working as expected.

It has to do with some so called "Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certification Intermediate Certificate" having expired on January 28, 2021. That could explain that the provisioning profile worked earlier for you but not anymore. https://developer.apple.com/support/expiration/
I think it is similar issue as discussed in this thread.

Nevertheless when delivering the app with Transporter I got a warning:

WARNING ITMS-90725: "SDK Version Issue. This app was built with the iOS 13.2 SDK. All iOS apps submitted to the App Store must be built with the iOS 13 SDK or later, included in Xcode 11 or later. Further, starting April 26, 2021 iOS apps submitted to the App Store must be built with the iOS 14 SDK or later, included in Xcode 12 or later."

What is the implication of this? Do I need to upgrade to Catalina?
Thanks!
Oliver

Hi Oliver, many thanks for your help. I've tried all of this and still not joy....this is how my Keychain looks like, seems alright, don't know what am I doing wrong.
Can you see any significant difference between mine and yours?

p.s.: I've contacted LC support but unfortunatly not real help has been received from them yet

Dear helpers, I'd like to apologize to all of you for wasting your precious time.

The uploading error was due to the fact that I forgot to rename the Folder to Payload before compressing it !!! (@trevix input)

And the build error with 9.6.3 was because I didn't properly update Xcode command line !!! (Elanor input)

I'm going to impose a penalty to myself in order to pay society for my wrong doing: starting now I will no code for the next 30 seconds !!!

Many thanks to all and regads

Hi Simon,
congrats for solving the issue. Did you now receive the same warning when delivering the app via transporter?

WARNING ITMS-90725: "SDK Version Issue. This app was built with the iOS 13.2 SDK. All iOS apps submitted to the App Store must be built with the iOS 13 SDK or later, included in Xcode 11 or later. Further, starting April 26, 2021 iOS apps submitted to the App Store must be built with the iOS 14 SDK or later, included in Xcode 12 or later."

Thanks.
Oliver

Yes Oliver, I got exactly the same warning which I ignored.

Do you know what to do after April 26?

Hi, I have upgraded to Catalina 10.15.7 and Xcode 12.1. and did several ritualistic sacrifices to the apple gods to ensure submission to the app store would continue to work. I will report back as soon as I have some results.

Hi Simon,
I can report a succesful upgrade of my development environment to MacOs Catalina 10.15.7, Xcode 12.1 and LC 9.6.2 rc5. It was remarkably glitch free. After the upgrade I opened my livecode project, saved it as standalone for iOS with my exisiting distribution provisioning profile, did the payload zipping workaround and dropped it into Transporter. I was so happy to see that green check-mark icon - especially when I only needed 1 try.

What took a lot of time though before I could make the jump to Catalina was to ensure that documents created with 32 bit software were converted to a format usable with newer 64 bit software. In my case I needed to open 957 Indesign files and export them in the idml format since I only owned the dated 32 bit version of Indesign and I am now using Affinity products. So make sure you don't require any 32bit sofware before the upgrade or make a clone of your current system.

Oliver, I'm glad to hear you were able to do it. Congratulations!

I'm not sure if I will embark in this journey unless I've to.

Will see

Regards.

Hi Oliver, FYI I wasn't as lucky as you and after 3 days fighting with my Mac (and with great help from Apple support) I had to format my Mac !!! First time in my life I have to format my working computer....anyway Catalina is installed now and I'm starting to install all my apps again.

Hi, I am sorry to hear you needed to go that far. I must have had a very lucky day. Congratulations to 500 posts! best. Oliver

Hi Oliver, can you please tell me if you had the attached issue? I also upgraded everything like you did but a new error kept coming up

@Sholly, I had this issue too.

The steps you have to follow are:

1 - rename the folder saved by LC standalone to Payload
2 - compress the Payload folder
3 - rename the compressed file to application.ipa
4 - upload using Transporter

Hope it helps
