My iOS app has the name +. Because of this, the bundle is invalid. Need help resolving

Question

I found a couple of very similar or identical topics, but they seemed to end until full resolution.

My application works fine on my device without a build error. I try to send the application for approval and I get the following error: "This package is not valid. The name of the executable that CFBundleExecutable reports in the info.plist file may not contain any of these characters ..... +". So I opened my info.plist file and changed the executable file name of the info.plist file from the macro $ {EXECUTABLE_NAME} to the name of my application without +. I made a new archive, but then I received the error message "with code with exit code 1".

In another thread, I read just changing the name of the target, deleting + from it, and leaving the info.plist file with the macro for the executable name, restarting Xcode, and then archiving again. This allowed me to archive, but I got the same error in iTunes Connect.

I have been working on this all day and cannot find a solution. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

You must change ${PRODUCT_NAME} in the build settings. And you must set the name to display in the Bundle Display Name in Info.plist .

See here for more details: Package name, executable name, product name ... anything else?

Answer 2

double-click the target and select the assembly settings tab. Find the product name and change it to unsigned +. The previously mentioned package display name in the info.plist file may have the same name with a +

Answer 3

There are several different ways to make this work, but it seems like the easiest / fastest

• First change the " Product Name " so that it does not contain any special characters - how to change the name of the product
• Then I changed the " Bundle Display Name " (CFBundleDisplayName) and the " Bundle name " (CFBundleName) in my Info.plist to be hard-coded, + ', rather than referring to the variable $ {PRODUCT_NAME}.
• If you have already created an application and distribution profile in iTunesConnect, you must also change the " package ID " in Info.plist - specify it in what you entered in iTunesConnect, and not in xxx. $ {PRODUCT_NAME: rfc1034identifier} (the iTunesConnect package identifier appears in the error message if you try to create an archive before modifying it).
• Finally, create an application, and Apple should not complain about the character when you check it. Your application should appear on the “+” icon on the main screen when launched on the device due to hard-coded package keys.

Clean your simulator and device

• If for iOS Simulator will not work after that (error message: could not connect to process ID 0), go to the "IOS Simulator" menu bar and click "Reset Content and Settings ..."
• If the operation on your device does not work after that, uninstall the application from your iPhone / iPad and start it again.

I left the as-is executable in Info.plist because the variable $ {EXECUTABLE_NAME}, which it refers to by default, consists of $ {PRODUCT_NAME} and several other variables that I did not want to communicate with.

Answer 4

You need to rebuild. Once it has been built, you cannot interfere with the package.
