Won't accept my binary and it has Distrib Cert.. I'm getting crazy!

[Dvdkite]

I'm tryng to upload the binary on Itunes connect but it's impossible because I always receive the "This file was invali or was not signed with an apple distribuition etc...".
Even if I try with the app loader.

Now: I have CAREFULLY read ALL the guidelines, listened to all suggestions in the apple betaforum and tryed everything I've found on the web but there's NO WAY to get my binary accepted by ITC.
I have a corrent Distribuition provisioning certificate installed on my mac and it is valid. I've cheked all the point:

Icon is 57x57....no spaces in bundle name... yes in the build result there are both "provisioning embedded" and " Distribuition cert: My name"....

I've done EVERYTHING exactly like I've always done in my past 4 ALREADY approved apps:

1) In my current app, The only thing that is really different by my older apps is the use of Facebook Connect for Iphone. It provide a folder with a lot of classes and a bundle of images (like in the fb guide I simply drag and drop those file in my project and then in the info panel of my project I had to set in the HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS this:"../FBconnect/src". This is also included in my target info build settings.

Do you think it could a problem related to this?


2) The second strange thing is that when I use the mac system compress tool ...sometimes it doesn't work (it created just a low kb file or too little MB file) and sometimes it work but, even if the file seems to be completely and correclty created, the progress bar window never disappear and never ends! Screenshot :


Do you think that the compress tool is the problem? To make a check I've tryed to compress the .app file on my windows pc and when I've tryed to load it with the App loader it said that "the file is invalid, it has been created with an older version of zip". Seeyng this I've supposed that the mac zip tool work OR I would probably have seen an error message, it is correct?

Also the REALLY STRANGE thing is that I've tryed to compress my old .app file (it is the same with whatever file) and the compression was always perfect, only with THIS app the compress tool never end the progress bar..... I really don't know why???

My app WORKS FINE on my 3.1.2 iPhone 3GS....


I really don't know what else to do!!!!!!
Where to find or search or try!!!!!!
I've contacted apple and waiting for an answer but I can't stay without try in the mean time..

Thanks for every, evenctual, suggestion...

Ok. I recently had similar issues. Ended up bring problems with app Id and bundle identifier. What kind of id do u have? 1234567890.* or is it set up com.domainname.appname? My problem was because I had the latter app id and the appname in my target profile product name did not match what was at the end of the bundle identifier string.

Hi Spiderguy84,

I'm using this com.domainname.appname.
I've tryed to set EVERYWHERE the same appname (also in plist executable name and product name and bundle name)... but no lucky!

I'm tryng everything... in the meantime of apple's help...

Don't know really what to try again...

Hi Guys,

The DTS has told me that sometimes on macosx there's a problem of duplicated files that starts with "._".
He said that probably they're in my fbconnect.bundle and it is true...


The problem is that I can't remove them from my project.
By selecting them and with right mouse click there's no option to delete them.
I can only remove the entire FBconnect.Bundle!

Can please someone:

1) tell me how remove that corrupted files?
or
2) Send me a FBconnect.Bundle that doesn't have inside the two type of files??

thank you very much

David

I have just had a very similar issue, it's been doing my head in for the best part of 3 hours. Basically, I tried everything, XCode fresh install, new provisioning profiles etc etc. The problem does indeed lie in the ._* files. You need to clear them down, and without doing so, you won't be able to create the zip file (as others have said, it hangs with a '5 seconds to go' message).

Fire up a terminal, cd to your base directory of your app, then:

find ./ -name "._*" -exec rm {} \;

job done, compiling nicely - and up to iTC correct!

Hope that helps some folk!

Hi Mark,

thank you for your suggestion!
I've already solved the problem 3 weeks ago...but forgot to post here!

I've deleted that "bundle" and re-created a folder with the same name and only 5 images...

It worked fine!!

:-D
