How to solve ERROR ITMS-90529 when submitting an application executed by Xcode 7 GM?

Question

I applied through Application Loader 3.1. It shows an "invalid package." Applications built with SDK 9.0 or later must be packaged as proper IPA files. "

I received an email on September 12 from Apple, which allows you to send applications created by Xcode 7 GM.

Answer 1

I got into the same problem today. Turns out Application Loader 3.2 now requires that the file be only .ipa. For some reason, it still accepts .zip files, but fails with this error. Therefore, simply change the file extension to .ipa, assuming that the content was correctly generated.

Answer 2

• Create a folder called Payload .
• put the compiled files in the Payload folder.
• copy the folder to the Payload.zip file, than change it to Payload.ipa .

Answer 3

Try converting your .APP to .IPA on the command line:

 /usr/bin/xcrun -sdk iphoneos PackageApplication -v "${RELEASE_BUILDDIR}/${APPLICATION_NAME}.app" -o "${BUILD_HISTORY_DIR}/${APPLICATION_NAME}.ipa" --sign "${DEVELOPER_NAME}" --embed "${PROVISONING_PROFILE}" 

Answer 4

I had the same problem that all you have to do is send the .ipa file and it will work like a charm.

Answer 5

A simple trick worked for me:
Archive and Export assembly from the organizer. Select Save to Deploy AppStore iOS . This will create an ipa file that the application loader accepts and downloads without any problems.
