Hi,
I've completed the creation of an app with B4i. I've tested it and generated the .IPA
I've also completed the entering information on the Apple Developer Center.
Now I wish to upload the binary (.IPA) files (this is my 1st app for Apple, I've published for Android without any problem).
I don't know if I've done well, but I've used the ITunes uploader inside B4i
I obtain this message of error:




Package Summary:

1 package(s) were not uploaded because they had problems:
/var/folders/35/nx43fs8567l9z_wvvpc35snh0000gn/T/F32673DA-FA7C-4CA9-B6CC-4DA58CD3984D/1524329279.itmsp - Error Messages:
ERROR ITMS-90017: "This bundle is invalid. The IPA format requires a top-level directory named Payload, containing only a .app bundle and optional plugins in a Plugins directory."

)

What does it mean: This bundle is invalid. The IPA format requires a top-level directory named Payload, containing only a .app bundle and optional plugins in a Plugins directory

Thank you for your help

Fabio

You should open a new thread for this ! Between look at the compilation window. Read all the text in it. It should say application built with store provision file .
