iOS app submission - archive does not contain an info.plist

Question

I am trying to submit an archive to the app store with an old app i was given. I keep receiving two errors CFBundleShortVersionString key must be in the plist and more tro

Answer 1

I managed to get meaningful error from uploader:

1. Install https://github.com/nomad/shenzhen
2. Create IPA: ipa build
3. Submit IPA: ipa distribute:itunesconnect -e -w -a ACCOUNT_NAME -p PASSWORD -f ./AppName.ipa -i APPLE_ID_OF_THE_APP --verbose

By doing this I received the following error: ERROR ITMS-90183: "Invalid Bundle OS Type Code. The value of 'Bundle OS Type Code' [CFBundlePackageType] in your application bundle's Info.plist file must be one of [APPL]."

Added CFBundlePackageType and my app passed validation!

I think this way you can find other issue if any during submission with more meaningful message.
