confused Transporter or App Stor Connect-SOLVED

Post by jameshale » Mon Dec 06, 2021 3:32 am

Hi,
Just a bit confused with App Store Connect, I guess.
I have created ad app in my connect account, all OK.I then went to submit it and was told I need to provide a build.
I thought I did, using transporter as detailed in the lesson https://runrev.screenstepslive.com/s/le ... -app-store
I was able to successfully deliver the app, and clicking on the ...[view in App Store Connect] I am taken to my apps entry in App Store Connect.

But if I click on "Submit for Review" in my App Store Connect page I am told I must choose a build.
Scrolling down to the "build" section of the page directs me to tools I can use, including Transporter, which i used.

What am I missing?

thinking I may need torepeaet I deleted my first delivery and tried again.
No. The binary already exists.
Went back to LC and changed the version number info - rebuilt, repackaged.
In the Ap Store Connect page for my app I also updtaed the version info to match what I did in LC.
Used Transporter to "deliver" the package.
All worked fine and the delivery was successful.
Logged out of App Store Connect.
Went back to Trabsporter and clicked on the ...[view in App Store Connect] I am taken to my apps entry in App Store Connect as before.
Clicking on the "prepare for submission" link I click on the "submit for review" button and again I am told I must choose a build, but there is nothing there!

ok,
I didn't check my emails between delivery and writing here.

Seems I was using an invalid architecture? do i checked forum posts and saw reference to this error.
Went back to standalone settings, change build number and "build for" to iOS 14
packaged and tried to deliver but get error "ERROR ITMS-90072: "The IPA is invalid. It does not include a Payload directory."

????

Don't know if it helps, the top answer on googling the error was:
Make sure the key "LSRequiresIPhoneOS" in the info.plist has the value "YES"
the entry apparently should look like this:
<key>LSRequiresIPhoneOS</key>
<true/>
however this was from some time ago and may not hold true now...

@stam, unfortunately that key is not present in the plist.
Looking at the plist is quite confusing as it appears to contradict the standalone settings I had for the app.

This looks like the plist is saying all these are required when I expressly did not.

Anyway I am not sure the plist is the answer, rather the build itself, and thus the settings for iOS which it appears I am not getting right.
What do other people set what they are building for 8,9,10,11,12,13,14?

In getting some screenshots for a post to support I noticed the xcode path was to xcode 12.5
This should be 12.5.1 I thought, so I changed it and rebuilt.
Deliver the app via Transporter and got a ne error.
Seems I had an ALPHA channel prsent in my app store icon.
Corrected that, rebuilt, tand attempted delivery again.

SUCCESS :D

I am guessing the mobile support path to xcode 12.5 was the problem with the package.
The icon issue being seperate.
