iPhone SDK Upload Issues? Blame Apple’s “Compress This” Feature.

Apple Sucks

Apple Sucks

If your app won’t upload but you’re sure you’ve compiled it and signed it right, the fault might not be yours. For me, it was the built in “Compress [Folder]…” option – the archive produced from this might be missing files. You’re likely to see such errors as:

“The binary you uploaded was invalid. The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an Apple submission certificate.”

“Icon specified in the info.plist not found under the top level app wrapper”

Seriously, Apple, what the f*ck? Thats 2 hours of my life lost because Apple couldn’t nail the basics: an archive utility. I’m so angry right now.

    The fix, by the way, is to restart your Mac, delete the previous zip files, and regenerate them. I recommend using the “Application Loader” instead of the web interface as this way you get warned faster if something has gone wrong, and you get a marginally more detailed error. Just remember to tick the “Upload binary later” tickbox.

    2 hours of your life? Try TWO WEEKS! I’m getting the top level wrapper problem but after tracing over 15 possibilities for it being caused, including the same one you mentioned, I still can’t find it.
