The application-identifier entitlement is not formatted correctly error
The binary you uploaded is invalid. The application-identifier entitlement
is notĀ formatted correctly; it should contain your 10-character App ID Seed,
followed by a dot, followed by your bundle identifier.
Sometime during the last week the submit process to the App Store was changed in few aspects (I guess as part of the Apple anti-phishing measures against the app farms from Asia). One novelty is that you will see the above error message when you submit your app binary.
The solution is rather easy: you probably already have an Entitlements.plist in your XCode project (if you don’t create a new plist file called Entitlements.plist) For app distribution you need two keys:
- get-task-allow which is a Boolean key and is unchecked
- application-identifier which is a String and contains your fully qualified App Id
The file should look like this:
1234567890.com.mycompany.myapp you should replace with your fully identified app id (bundle identifier), if you are not sure what is it for you, have a look in the Provisioning Center at the iPhone Development Portal.
