LiveCode Forums.

Hi team,

I am trying to upload an app to the apple store after a few years off!

I am running a mac with 10.13.6
LiveCode 9.0.4 rc2
Xcode 10.1 (10B61)

I keep getting a request to remove a key from the plist.

'UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend' in bundle Sanskrit for Beginners [Sanskrit for Beginners.app] that will soon be unsupported. Remove the key, rebuild your app and resubmit."

So... I deleted the line in Xcode and re-submitted the app.

Then I got another error from Application Loader which basically said the plist was unsigned.

Please could you let me know how to sign it?

Thanking you all in advance,
Jessamy

Hello jessamy,

The standalone builder signs the app bundle. If you modify the standalone app bundle *after* it was signed (for example when editing the plist file), the signature is invalidated.

So in this case you have to:

1. Build a standalone again.
2. Copy the plist file from the standalone app bundle and place it in a different location (e.g. Desktop)
3. Edit the file ~/Desktop/Info.plist and remove the key-value pair you want
4. Open Copy Files section, add the modified ~/Desktop/Info.plist and create a new standalone.

The file ~/Desktop/Info.plist will overwrite the Info.plist file that is generated by the standalone builder. See this lesson for more details and examples:

Hope this helps,

PS: I thought the request to remove UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend key was a _warning_, not an actual error. Is it the case?

Dear Panos,

Thankyou so much for your very helpful reply!
I apologise for my muddled message!

What I meant to ask was...
Am I using the latest software that is compatible with Mac 10.13.6.

I was also confused about editing the plist - and thankyou for that reply.
However, after telling me that the plist needed editing, Apple sent me another email with several other errors mentioned.
Then, I had another email saying my app was waiting for review!
Now I am totally confused!

So, my question today is: Am I using the best LiveCode and Xcode for the present time?
Or is there a later and better compatible option?

Thankyou so much for your help.

Hello jessamy,

The latest "stable" version of LiveCode is currently 9.0.4. The latest "release candidate" version is currently 9.0.5 RC-1.

You can find them here:

https://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/

On MacOS 10.13.6, for these ^^^ versions of LiveCode you'll need Xcode 10.1, which you already have.

Hope this helps,
Panos
