First App rejected for odd reasons

[Chris Sheffield]

Interesting. What else do you have in there that's making the executable so large? Embedded sounds possibly? If so, again, I would recommend removing them from your stack and referencing them by filename instead.

But I am getting only a 6 meg reduction from 387 down to 381 Is there a way to recover the space used by those images? I tried to compact this stack but no change (besides I thought save did that from the file menu)????

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.

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.
