First App rejected for odd reasons

[Chris Sheffield]

Tom,

To get rid of the UDID issue, you'll need to install and use the latest LC 5.5.5 update. It fixes that problem.

The push notification entitlement issue is a non-issue. Your app can get approved even with that warning.

As for the executable size, I wasn't really aware of any limits, so I find that kind of odd. Are your images embedded in your app (imported as controls into your stack)? If so, is it possible to reference any of them on disk instead using the filename property? So they could still be part of your app bundle, but not be embedded in the executable. Not sure if that's the issue or not. Kind of guessing here. But it seems like the error is referring to the actual executable, not necessarily the app bundle.

As for the Non-PIE binary, I'm not sure about that one either, but I'm curious to find out what it means.

Chris

I have seen some people get some of these warning but I got four reasons and the Binary was rejected as invalid. I am not using Push notification. I am not accessing the UDID. The project is large because it has 2048x1536 images in it for Retina iPad it is 387 MB. I don't know what a Non-PIE Binary is but I am looking it up now.

Abnormally large executable files are often the result of using a development environment that stores excessive or unnecessary data in the compiled binary. You may need to contact your tool vendor for assistance if your app was built with a developer tool other than Xcode.
