App store uploading problem

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi,

I’ve been trying to submit my game to the app store for three days without luck.

I have a corona pro license and I was wondering if it can have something to do with the fact that I used one apple developer account for development and other to release the app.

I have tried different configurations for distribution certificate and recreated it many times, I tried creating my on zip of the app package, I already checked that all the certificates, keys and provisioning profiles are created according to the guides in the apple provisioning portal, and checked that they are OK in the keychain.

I have folders named: img, snd, sharedThemes, buttons that I don’t know if could have some issues with apple reserved folders.

Can someone who has gone through this help? [import]uid: 51669 topic_id: 21776 reply_id: 321776[/import]

Hey there,

What issue are you actually having? You don’t mention whether or not it’s a signing error or something else.

If so, have you cleared all certificates and keys and restarted before creating new ones with the appropriate account? (A restart is important as Keychain will not keep everything cleared otherwise.)

Is the app ID and provisioning profile tied to the correct account?

Hi Peach,

I tried recreating all the certificates and provisioning profiles in a different computer that had a new macos installation, I tested the app in the device using an ad hoc profile and it worked OK, I tried using a development certificate and profile and corona return an error:

warning: Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an iPhone Distribution Certificate. (-19011)
Executable=/Users/user/Desktop/Appname.app/Appname
codesign_wrapper-0.7.10: using Apple CA for profile evaluation

I tried using an app store distribution profile, and it was built OK but the application loader fail with:
Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an iPhone Distribution Certificate.

I bought the apple ios development program using the credit card of other person, and I’m thinking that it could be causing all this trouble. Anyway I’m contacting apple.

Do you know if there could be any issues with the app created by corona for distribution after switching apple developer accounts, I mean changing the “code signing identity” for the build for different developer accounts?

Thanks. [import]uid: 51669 topic_id: 21776 reply_id: 86481[/import]

This is not a Corona issue, no - Corona builds for other dev accounts without issue provided all needed certificates/profiles are present. (This is common when building apps for clients.)

Using another person’s card can pose issues but normally this is in the initial setup phase.

The AdHoc build that worked, was that using a dev cert and profile from the SAME account used for the App Store build or a different one?

Did you remember to download the WWDR certificate from Apple as well? [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 21776 reply_id: 86555[/import]

Hi, yes it was using the same certificates as the one for the app store and the WWRD was correctly installed. I already asked apple, going to wait their response.

Thank you. [import]uid: 51669 topic_id: 21776 reply_id: 86652[/import]

Good luck with Apple, I’d be interested in hearing the response - multiple certificates shouldn’t present a problem. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 21776 reply_id: 86780[/import]

Peach,

support at Apple was great, really helpful and kind.

After tried multiple solutions, I move the project folder from a mounted volume to the Desktop and then built using Corona and submitted the generated zip and it worked, it was totally absurd but at least it’s over by now.

Other thing I fixed was deleting three hidden files in the project folder, I had missed warning messages for this in the corona build output in the console. [import]uid: 51669 topic_id: 21776 reply_id: 88113[/import]

Interesting - thank you for updating.

Am very happy to hear the issue is resolved :slight_smile: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 21776 reply_id: 88263[/import]
