iOS Question Publishing to App Store error

JonPM · Oct 14, 2015

I am getting the following error when trying to submit app for review:

The app's Info.plist can't contain values for the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key that would prevent this app from opening on any [?] device. For more information, see Understanding the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities Key.

My project attributes:

B4X:

#Region  Project Attributes
    #ApplicationLabel: my app
    #Version: 2.0
    'Orientation possible values: Portrait, LandscapeLeft, LandscapeRight and PortraitUpsideDown
    #iPhoneOrientations: Portrait
    #iPadOrientations: Portrait
    #PListExtra: <key>UIRequiresFullScreen</key><true/>
#End Region

What does this error mean and how do I correct it?

Erel · Oct 14, 2015

Are you using B4i v2.30? If yes then you don't need to add the UIRequiresFullScreen line. It is added automatically.

JonPM · Oct 14, 2015

Not yet I was waiting for it to come out of beta. It will resolve this issue?

Erel · Oct 14, 2015

Is this a new app? Were you previously able to upload it successfully?

JonPM · Oct 14, 2015

No it's an update to a live app, which was originally developed with another platform.

I just updated to 2.3b and removed the PListExtra line. However on submitting app for review I get the same error.

This is probably the reason for this.

Close the IDE.
Open Program Files (x86)\B4i\Project\B4iProject-Info.plist
Search for this line: <string>armv7</string>
Delete it and save the file.

Try to submit it again.

This worked. Is this something I will need to keep doing in the future with this specific app?

Erel · Oct 14, 2015

Yes. However you can copy this file to Files\Special folder of this specific project and it will override the global file.

@Erel
Now with v2.31 I get the error below while the B4iProject-info.plist file is in Special folder:

Error: ** BUILD FAILED **


The following build commands failed:
    CopyPlistFile Payload/IV\ Calc.app/B4iProject-Info.plist B4iProject-Info.plist
(1 failure)

When I delete the file from the Specials folder the compilation works fine, but I cannot submit update as I get the same error stated in my first post.

Erel · Nov 8, 2015

Have you updated the plist file that came with v2.31?

JonPM · Nov 8, 2015

Yes. I reinstalled v2.31, copied the plist file from B4i directory over to Specials folder, then removed the armv7 line.

Here is the contents of the file I have in the Specials folder:

Can you upload the file itself? Maybe there is an encoding problem.

JonPM · Nov 8, 2015

Attached. I had to zip it as the forum would not allow upload of a plist file

Erel · Nov 8, 2015

Looks fine. Maybe it doesn't like the empty array. Try to remove this:
<key>UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities</key>
<array>
$DEVICE_CAPABILITES$
</array>

JonPM · Nov 8, 2015

No luck

Erel · Nov 8, 2015

You will need to delete the file from the Special folder and modify the file in the installation folder (under program files).

This worked. I noticed I had difficulty modifying the file within the installation folder directly (kept receiving "Access Denied" message in sublime). I had to copy the file to desktop, modify it, and copy it back to install folder and give admin permission to overwrite. I am now running Windows 10. Maybe that's the root of the problem? The file in Specials folder isn't copied over due to admin rights?

Erel · Nov 8, 2015

No. These are two different issues. Windows doesn't allow you to write to Program Files without an admin privileges. You can run the text editor as an administrator.

The real issue here is that the template file from the Special folder overwrote the correct file. It is related to a change in the IDE.
