ERROR ITMS - 90167 No. app bundles found in the package

Question

Before I start writing about the error, I\'m running on macOS Sierra and using Xcode 7.3.1.

So I\'m creating an Archive from my App, I validate the App and it passes

Answer 1

I was having this issue with Xcode 8 GM and trying to submit an app for release though Application Loader.

You have to use the version of Application Loader that comes with Xcode 8, which should be 3.6

I still have Xcode 7 installed, and was using Application Loader 3.5

Update

• My apps submit okay now and go into processing, then soon after disappear completely. I think this might be a separate issue though.

Update 2

• You still can't use Sierra to submit your apps. At least not until they release the GM.

Update 3

• This issue is still occurring with this particular project. All other new ones (sticker apps) that I have created since public launch have been submitted to iTunes Connect with no issues.

I worked on this project during the betas, so it's possible something has been corrupted along the way and is causing issues. Might require starting a new project in Xcode 8.

There's a thread on the developer forums addressing this issue. https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/62703

Solution

Turns out the fix for us was to add the "NSCameraUsageDescription" key to the info.plist with a description of what the camera does in the app.

Not sure if that solution will help in all cases though.

Answer 2

I was getting this error with Xcode 7.2.1 and Application Loader 3.4 on macOS 10.12.1.

But for some reason, it worked if I used the command-line "altool" to do the upload instead:

'/Applications/Xcode-7.2.1.app/Contents/Applications/Application Loader.app/Contents/Frameworks/ITunesSoftwareService.framework/Versions/A/Support/altool' \
  --upload-app -f your-app.ipa \
  -u your-apple-id -p your-apple-id-password \
  --output-format xml

Answer 3

I faced the same problem . what worked for me was ->

go to target-> signing & capabilities -> signing certificate -> I had to revoke one certificate. Always revoke the Certificate by the name of admin's iMac . It is created by default while making your certification and profiles.

**Picture is attached for the reference.

PS:- always make sure the bundle id is same on App store connect and Xcode before archiving.
