Invalid Binary error when uploading to iTunes Connect

[Phil Jimmieson]

Hi folks,
just a follow-up to this invalid binary problem I was having. Thanks to everyone who sent me suggestions. The email from Apple that follows a rejection does contain more information about the problem and reported an error with an invalid path and referenced the image I use as the iTunes artwork. What iTunes Artwork you ask…

I have been following a suggestion from someone here about how to make .ipa packages to submit to iTunes Connect. Their instructions included the following:

	zip -r my_app_name.ipa iTunesArtwork Payload

where Payload is a folder containing the LiveCode standalone, iTunesArtwork is a png file and my_app_name.ipa is the name you want for the .ipa package.

Turns out although this used to work (as recently as April this year), Apple now reject .ipa packages that contain anything other than the app itself. The command I'm using *now* is

	zip -r my_app_name.ipa Payload

and this was accepted by iTunes Connect for review.

I am still getting the "API analysis file is too large", but that doesn't seem to matter.

As far as I can tell my provisioning profile and all certificate related things are fine. When I zip up my standalone, and then try to upload it with Application Loader it firstly tells me that the "API analysis file is too large" (I've not seen that warning before) and then eventually I'm told later that it is an invalid binary. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Or has something changed with iTunes Connect that is affecting App Uploads?
