iTunes Connect: Invalid binary

Asked 22/9, 2016 at 19:51 Answered 13/12, 2023 at 14:29

Solved ios app-store-connect appcelerator

I am getting this error in iTunes Connect.

I have an app and I make some changes in that. So now I am uploading the updated version with the Organizer, but after upload, I am getting "invalid binary", but no more information. Looking into this forum I found many people face same issue but no solution works for me.

I validate the app before uploading and the validate process is OK.. any advice will be welcome, this is driving me crazy.

thanks in advance.

Titanium SDK 5.5.0 GA

macOS Sierra.

I finally solve this problem.

In my app i use: Version: 1.0.6 Build: 1.0.6

For some reason, now i cant do that, so i change the build version to: 106 and that makes the magic.

i hope this can help to others..

Whenever you get an invalid binary error an email gets sent to the itunesConnect account, with the explanation on why it is invalid.

I did receive an invalid binary message and contained the following message:

This app attempts to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSAppleMusicUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.

So it does have to do with a permission request. The way to fix this issue is to check the email, and explain why you are requesting access to that privacy-sensitive data. Keep in mind that we are not using Apple Music, but for some reason that showed up there ;)

This is a real solution. When status becomes Invalid binary, it sends email "App Store Connect: Your app "AppName" ... has one or more issues". The reason can be different and always described in email – Chukchi 25/11, 2019 at 13:58

Also it seems "ITMS-90078: Missing Push Notification Entitlement" isn't connected to Invalid binary – Chukchi 25/11, 2019 at 13:59

I get this email from Apple:

This app attempts to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.

This app attempts to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSMicrophoneUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.

This app attempts to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSCameraUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.

This app attempts to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSAppleMusicUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.

Once these issues have been corrected, you can then redeliver the corrected binary.

My App is using the camera, not Apple Music, not Agenda, etc... Maybe one of the Modules...

But anyway, I fixed it by adding this to tiapp.xml

<ios>
    <plist>
        <dict>
            <key>NSContactsUsageDescription</key>
            <string>Can we use to your contacts?</string>
            <key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
            <string>Can we use your camera?</string>
            <key>NSCalendarsUsageDescription</key>
            <string>Can we use your calendar?</string>
            <key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
            <string>Can we save to your library?</string>
            <key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
            <string>Can we use your microphone?</string>
        </dict>
    </plist>
</ios>

What does this have to do with the question? The OP made no mention of anything related to this information. – Gnarly 22/9, 2016 at 21:12

I received the invalid binary notification from the iTunes Connect app and no email at all. I validated the binary before uploading and that was successful. however shortly after uploading, i received the invalid binary. Adding the keys to the plist for the privacy permissions worked for me. I also had to localize the plist for all the languages i supported. – Anemoscope 26/9, 2016 at 14:38

Thanks @Anemoscope in my case i only use one language.. and still no working.. – Cuccuckold 27/9, 2016 at 21:51

I realized that I uploaded the binary using Xcode Beta. After uploading with the regular Xcode - it worked.

If you got this error you will receive an email that explains why this error happened It is possible that you are using deprecated API and classes and codes

Airiness answered 13/12, 2023 at 14:29 Comment(2)

Using deprecated APIs will never result in an "invalid binary" error. – Fennie 13/12, 2023 at 15:58

it results invalid binary my app gets this error for deprecated API right now – Airiness 13/12, 2023 at 16:3
