Error updating iOS application. "This package is not valid. Apple does not currently accept applications created with this version of the SDK."

Question

I closed the application in the iOS app store on 1/24/2014. This is an iO7 / iPhone app and everything was delivered correctly. As of yesterday, my app was approved, and it is currently visible on the App Store.

I have compiled a small update and am currently working on delivering it using Application Loader.

However, now that I load my production IPA, it is rejected due to what looks like an sdk error.

Messages: Apple web service operation was not successful Unable to authenticate the package: 806906410.itmsp ERROR ITMS-9000: "This bundle is invalid. Apple is not currently accepting applications built with this version of the SDK." at SoftwareAssets/SoftwareAsset (MZItmspSoftwareAssetPackage) 

I'm struggling to figure out what has changed since I build with the same SDK as last weekend.

Answer 1

Starting February 1, you can only use the Xcode 5.X and iOS7 SDKs to create applications for the AppStore. Double check that you compiled the application with the correct Xcode / SDK.

Answer 2

I was hoping your suggestion would work, but I got an error despite using the Air 4.0 SDK. I did not get this error when I downloaded it on the App Store a few days ago (I already used Air 4.0). Does this really mean that Apple has limited development to use Xcode?

EDIT:

The Air 4.0 SDK update really works! But make sure you have the Air 4.0 SDK for Flex developers

Answer 3

For Flex users with the same error message: you need to download the beta version of the AIR 4.0 SDK from Adobe Lab: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html (for me it was an SDK for Flex, Mac) Then extract it (sudo tar jxvf air4-0_sdk_sa_mac.tbz2) and lay it on the Flex SDK, as explained in: http://www.247sw.ca/installing-flash-builder-4-7-and-air-3-5 -for-windows-and-mac

Publishing to the AppStore is fine after that.

Answer 4

I ran into the same problem, I updated the Air 4.0 SDK and it works great! Be sure to update the Air 4.0 SDK for Flex developers. Please set xmlns = "http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/14.0" in the --app.xml configuration file.

You can download the latest sdk from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html .

Answer 5

I ran into the same problem, but in my case, the reason was because I had the latest beta version of Xcode for iOS 8 on my computer. The event that I built from the Xcode 5.1.1 GUI was a beta compiler was selected. I had to move the beta to the basket first to create an assembly for the vault.
