iOS Distribution “Unable to process application Info.plist”

Question

Currently I try to submit an iOS 7 app to app store using XCode 5.0

The app is already in app store - I did some fixed for iOS 7 and want to submit the binary now.

The message I get is "Unable to process application Info.plist validation at this time due to a general error. Please try again later".

First I thought it would be a problem at Apples servers. Since the problem consists for 2 days now, I started to look for others with similar problems. Some managed to fix the problem by using different app icons - but the topics I found was some month old.

However, my problem still exists.

I provided all icons in all possible formats (57x57, 72x72, 114x114, 144x144, 120x120), but still no success.

Currently I really hate apple for making life that complicated.

Maybe someone have an idea ?

Here is my Info.plist file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Answer 1

XCode 5 DP does not allow submit apps to App Store.

You should wait for official XCode 5.0 release.

Answer 2

You can try to remove armv6 from Architectures in Build Settings, everything will be alright. I also got this trouble for 2 weeks...

Answer 3

For me it was CFBundleIconFiles key in Info.plist that was causing the issue with validation. Simply removed it and it worked.
