iOS archive submission : Error ITMS-90096

Hi,

I get this ITMS-90096 error when I try to submit a new version of my app for validation. It was working fine before, but I did not submit anything for a few monthes. It seems that Apple introduced some requirements since then.

I never managed launchimages before... Any idea on how I can fix this?

Thanks

 

If my understanding is correct, Introjucer is creating a set of images (Icon-***.png) in Images.xcassets/AppIcon.appiconset. These files are created by the XCode project exporter, in createiOSIconFiles() called from createiOSAssetsFolder().

I am wondering if something similar is missing for the Images.xcassets/LaunchImage.launchimage folder. That folder just contains "Contents.jason" but no image file... It seems normal since "createiOSLaunchimageFiles()" does not exists...

Is it a missing feature, or is there some config I don't know allowing app publishing without specifying the Launchimages?

OK, I finally succeeded to submit my app to iTunesConnect for validation :-)

Here are the changes I made in juce_ProjectExport_XCode.h, see comments starting with (pca) and bold lines. These changes prevent the errors ITMS-90032 (due to deprecated icon declaration), ITMS-90475 (forcing full-screen to be compliant with the new split screen allowing two apps to run simultaneously), and ITMS-90096 (missing launchImages).

Around line 670, next to createiOSIconFiles():

That's it. Hope this can help some of you :-)

Thanks, much appreciated! We'll take a look at this next week.

This is a short update: the CFBundleIconFile key must be added for MacOSX project, but should be removed for iOS.

So the correct modification around line 606 is:


// (pca) Do not insert this line for iOS because it causes a validation error during app publishing (error ITMS-90032)
if (!iOS)
   addPlistDictionaryKey (dict, "CFBundleIconFile", iconFile.exists() ? iconFile.getFileName() : String::empty);
