I'm working on a multi-platform iOS and Mac app. When I try and Archive and Distribute to the App Store I run into this issue:
ERROR ITMS-90259: "Bad Bundle Executable. You must include a valid CFBundleExecutable key in your bundle's information property list file."
Verified that the Info.plist for the Mac target has a CFBundleExecutable
Tried Xcode 12 & 13
Tried using App Transporter
Used Xcode 13 RC and let that auto-generate the Info.plist
I've tried everything I could find online - there's not much - and I can't get the upload to succeed.
However, I was able to replicate the issue with an entirely empty project. No dependencies, no code, nothing. The project archives successfully, but the upload fails.
Any help would be appreciated. I've spent two days on this already.

We had two issues causing this, making it fail when uploading a Mac build to iTunes. The first issue, we had included a package (from Steam), that had its own plist and post build script.
com.rlabrecque.steamworks.net/Editor/RedistCopy.cs - build script
com.rlabrecque.steamworks.net/Plugins/steam_api.bundle.meta - folder with plugin and plist
We renamed the post build script and removed the plugin folder, not 100% sure if the renaming was needed.
Then, we had this in our own post build script that was causing issues, so we removed it too.
rootDict.SetString("CFBundleExecutable", "${EXECUTABLE_NAME}");
Then it worked! Also worth noting that we believe the CFBundleExecutable didnt actually end up matching the file name e.g. the file produced was a.pkg and the plist says:
<key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
<string>b</string>
But seems iTunes was ok with that. We use Unity and it seems in the pList the string was set to the "Product Name" (Edit > Project Settings > Player, at the top, "Product Name").
We also didnt need to use Transporter to upload.
I was trying to crate an archive to upload the app for app store. But when i was going to create a archive by choosing correct provisioning (distribution for app store)in code signing identity(in project and targets also) along same bundle ID than, first of all archive do not shown in organizer although xcode says it's succeeded. Secondly when i go to folder /library/developer/xcode/archives than, it do contain .xarchive. On double click, it says "the archive may be corrupt or unreadable". How to get out from this problem .. please help out.
I've been struggling with this too for a bit, and I found that downgrading cocoapods from version 1.10.0 to 1.9.3 fixed the corrupt archive issues above. The command I used:
gem install cocoapods -v '<= 1.9.3' -n /usr/local/bin
Try this one,get the build from the Product tree in Xcode and create a new folder with name"Payload" and keep that build in that and compressed it and rename extension to ".ipa".That will ask for ipa,use ipa then.Try this
I am uploading ios build on testflight till now. But I am getting the following error on uploading any build (I also tried uploading the previous build again which I already uploaded on it).
Invalid IPA: Couldn't find executable specified in Info.plist - check the value of your CFBundleExecutable key.
I need to upload the build. Can someone suggest me a site other than testflight where I may upload the ios build or ipa file?
The other site you can use is http://diawi.com, i use it on my project now, very helpfull.
We had a problem with CFBundleExecutable ${EXECUTABLE_NAME}. Our iOS app was for example called OurAppName.
Ran fine in Simulator but when archived and deployed via organizer said CFBundleExecutable was not an executable file.
We checked the plist and the value for CFBundleExecutable was 'ourappname'. we unzipped the ipa > app folder (see how below) and there was a fie called ourappname but it was smaller than expected and not a exe (USE:ls -l should have x at end of -rwxr-xr-x ).
Bug was caused by a text file called 'ourappname' and when archive was built it took that as the exe and not OurAppName. Answer was to rename and or delete the file with same name as our exe. Do full clean build. and recheck final ipa.
To see contents of OurAppName.ipa :
Rename to OurAppName_ipa.zip (ignore warnings):
DOUBLE CLICK on OurAppName_ipa.zip to open (creates Payload folder containing OurAppName.app):
rename OurAppName.app to OurAppName_app (ignore warnings will change app bundle to folder).
Open OurAppName_app folder look for ...info.plist for app.
Check CFBundleExecutable is pointing to OurAppName.
Find OurAppName in folder do ls -l make sure it executable (USE:ls -l should have x at end of -rwxr-xr-x).
TIP FOR TEST FLIGHT:
If testflight download fails after 80% with UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD then drag the archive you built to a iOS device using Organizer.
Click on Device > applications and + at the bottom (i think dragging the ipa to the device in the organizer installs it as well).
in your info.plist file open as source code form and check CFBundleExecutable key is there or not and make sure it is written as
<key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME}</string>
I tried to update an iphone app, which lies in an other "itunes connect" profile. I used "application loader" and everything is fine until I try to upload the zip file
I get this strange message and cant figure out whats going wrong
"The CodeResources file must be a symbolic link to _CodeSignature/CodeResources"
I opened the bundle and the folder _CodeSignature is there.
I compiled the app with my distribution profile (no problems)
How are you zipping it? I'm betting that FooApp.app/CodeResources is a file, not a symlink.
If you're using command-line "zip", you need to use zip -y -r to preserve the symlink.
Had the same issue with XCode 3.2.5 (new submission interface), and all it took was to:
delete the build folder
clean, and then
build and archive again.
I had the same issue. But then I noticed that I was building in release mode to the simulator, and not a device. When I targeted a device, I got the proper application file, which I then zipped with the iTunes Artwork and submitted without issue.
I had the same issue here but I "fixed" it after I changed the "Deployment Target" from 2.0 to 3.0 in the target I was building and removed the "Architectures" to only armv6 (before I had both armv6 and armv7). Finally I had to put 'No' to 'Build Active Architecture Only'.
I haven't figured out why I keep getting this error for every binary I create. I've followed all the standard procedures (double-checking my project settings, deleting build folders, cleaning all targets, removing and reinstalling certificates and provisioning profiles, creating and installing new certificates and provisioning profiles, repairing disk permissions, etc) but none of them seem to solve the problem.
I think the problem is that my XCode installation is unable to create symbolic links. I might reinstall it (or even OS X) to see if that fixes the issue permanently.
But in the mean time, this works for me. I use terminal to navigate into the binary and run the following commands
rm CodeResources
ln -s _CodeSignature/CodeResources CodeResources
This deletes the invalid CodeResources file and replaces it with the required symbolic link to _CodeSignature/CodeResources.
I just ran across this issue. It turned out, I had two info.plist files in my resources folder (one for the iPhone version and another for the iPad version). Once I took care of that, the issue went away.
Try this on the command line:
cd (to where your project is)
ln -s _CodeSignature/CodeResources CodeResources
I've just had the same problem. Turns out the project file project.pbxproj in Project.xcodeproj had been corrupted while uploading to an SVN server.
My solution was simply to revert to an older revision, which worked fine.
You have to:
1. Enter the AppName.app folder
2. Create a file named CodeResources
3. Open the file with a plain text editor
4. Type in _CodeSignature/CodeResources (The path where the actual CodeResources file is.)
{The app will now know where the CodeResources file is, and will have an account for all the files in the .app folder.}
I can install an app on my development iPhone compiled with "Debug" configuration using my Ad Hoc provisioning and everything works OK.
But when I build it using "Release" configuration, iTunes says:
The application XXX was not installed on the iPhone "YYYY" because its resources have been modified.
I've never seen this message before. Does anybody know what it means?
Thanks!

We had the same problem during our first Beta. Someone on Windows dug in the xxx.app folder then Explorer created a Thumbs.db file inside and, boom, he got the message "The application XXX was not installed on the iPhone "YYYY" because its resources have been modified." when he tried to install.
He had to remove the app from iTunes, deleted all the Thumbs.db from xxx.app and then it worked.
We finally got rid of the problem. We were trying to include an image for iTunes after creating the build, but when we used this method (http://iosdevelopertips.com/xcode/itunes-icon-for-ad-hoc-distributions.html) everything went smoothly.
Just in case it helps someone: In my case, I copied the .app to a network drive, then to my Win7 computer before dragging into iTunes - then it did not work. When I zipped the .app first before copying, and then unzipped it on the other end - it worked. Of course, I have no real idea why....
Your debug configuration and your release configuration have some important differences, and release is a lot closer to what ad-hoc should look like. So you first need to duplicate the release configuration and make and call your copy "Ad-Hoc", and make sure you use your ad-hoc provisioning profile with it. Then you need to create a new entitlements file. The new version of Xcode has a cool feature where you can build and archive your app into an ipa file that includes your provisioning profile.
How to do all of this is explained here: http://www.tuaw.com/2010/05/23/devsugar-a-better-way-to-share-ad-hoc-builds/
In those instructions, when it tells you to make the entitlements plist file, it says to uncheck get-task-allow in the plist file. When I created the entitlements file, there wasn't a get-task-allow row at all, so I created one, set the type to boolean, and left it unchecked. It worked great for me.
The best solution to avoid wierdness like this is to create an IPA file. A good step-by-step guide to creating an IPA target in XCode is here:
http://idotcomllc.wordpress.com/2009/05/26/how-to-build-a-ipa-file-from-xcode/
It starts out with an introductory project so search for "Aggregate" to find the point where it starts telling you how to create a new IPA target for build.
I directly upload the app to a server where the windows can also visit. Then compress it in Windows.
I had it, did a clean build and never saw it again.
Incomplete ipa/zip archives (received at the installation end) were the cause for us.
I had this problem using a run script to cp -R the .app file to the Payload folder, for some reason when the script copied the file it modified it somehow, if I used finder and manually copied the .app file into the payload folder and manually zipped the .ipa file it worked fine. I tested it several times using codesign -v to verify the .app file. it always through the error after a build and the run script. but no error when I would copy the file manually.
For me the issue was the .Double files being added to every directory on a shared network drive. We are primarily a Windows environment, and the Mac was saving .Double file on the drive, in every directory.
Literally, to fix the issue referenced above, I simply deleted the .Double files in every directory (of the app being copied to iTunes) and it fixed it.
Hope this helps someone!
I was tasked to test some apps and for some reason was the only one on my team getting this this error. I am working on an XP. All the apps we are testing use the same provisioning file yet some would sync while others would not. Not sure what fixed it but I did go into my *My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications* folder, deleted the existing .ipa file for the app I was trying to sync and it seemed to sync fine after. It might not be the answer to your problem but give it a try.
If you work with asstes on a Mac, or have versioned content, I had the same problem with .DS_Store files and hidden .git folders. Once deleted from assets, problem gone. It might be an issue with hidden files.
