...rename the compressed file from Payload.zip to Payload.ipa...

In my experience it has to be renamed to "application.ipa" and not "Payload.ipa"

I guess it would be worth to try....

Good luck

Yes it's definitely worth a try. So, just so I use the same steps you use would this be correct?...

1. Create Standalone application in LiveCode
2. Rename the generated folder to 'application'
3. Compress the folder to create 'application.zip'
4. Rename 'application.zip' to 'application.ipa'
5. Drop it into Transporter

So I've just tried this:

1. Create Standalone application in LiveCode
2. Rename the generated folder to 'application'
3. Compress the folder to create 'application.zip'
4. Rename 'application.zip' to 'application.ipa'
5. Drop it into Transporter

... and Transporter still gives me the following error:

Failed to create the .itmsp for
'application.ipa'

No suitable application records were found. Verify
your bundle identifier 'com.alangreen.xxxxxxx' is
correct.

Maybe my settings in the Apple Developer portal are wrong? But I have set everything up as per the LiveCode lessons??

Anyone got any ideas of what to check next? (please )

@j9v6, this is my recipe

1. Create Standalone application in LiveCode
2. Rename the generated folder to 'Payload'
3. Compress the folder to create 'Payload.zip'
4. Rename 'Payload.zip' to 'application.ipa'
5. Drop it into Transporter

one more try...

"Application" used here is generic. If you haven't already, substitute the actual app name. For example, if your app is named "MyApp" then the name of the ipa should be "MyApp.ipa".

You may have already done that but it's worth mentioning I guess.

Ok... giving it a go....

It failed with the .itmsp message again.

Thanks Jaqueline, I've just tried that too... but its still telling me there's a problem and won't upload yet :/

When you set up the distribution profile, did you provide the exact same bundle ID for it? Also, in AppStoreConnect, did you complete the entire process of setting up the app for submission to the store, and does the state of the submission show as "waiting for upload"? If not, Transporter will not know what you are trying to upload and Apple won't have a record of what to expect.

Wait... AppStoreConnect??? That must be it ... didn’t even know about it (it’s my first time with an iOS app)

Thanks

That would certainly explain it. You have an adventure ahead of you, setting up an app for store distribution is a bit of a process.
