Mac file vault error

Question

I am trying to submit my application to the Mac app store and I was trying to figure out how to solve this problem:

Files read-only by the root user . The installer package includes files that are only read by the root user. This will prevent the verification of the signature of the application code when starting your application. Make sure non-root users can read files in your application.

I could not solve this problem for a while, and does anyone have a solution?

Answer 1

I found the answer:

I deleted some files that were not read by the system, files that displayed a white blank icon

Answer 2

In my case, none of the files belonged to root, but one did not have read permissions for the group and for everyone, but only for my user. I found this using this cmd in terminal:

ls -lR /path/to/app 

Then I searched for “-----” inside the output of the ls that detected the problem file.

Answer 3

I had the same problem, but I decided to run:

 cd myApp.app chmod a+rX * 

This fixes permissions and makes Application Loader happy.

Answer 4

For those who hit their heads about it, my experience shows that the error is erroneous or, at best, very misleading.

After viewing all the permissions, dragging and dropping the files from the Application Loader testing suite, the error magically disappeared, and the same files with the same permissions stopped giving the same error.

This is really not a solution, but it may be important to know that this error may not be what it seems (checked in 10.9.4).
