Codesign Error and FBConnect Library for Iphone

Just spent the morning tracking down an issue where I couldn't submit an application to the app store. Hopefully good will pick this up and save you some trouble

This is the key issue:
a sealed resource is missing or invalid
You will see that error when using ApplicationLoader while looking at Console.app.
Here is the full message:

I finally found out that the issue was some strangely named files in the FBConnect.bundle .

The solution is to remove files that start with "._".

Here is the blog post that finally saved me from my mental breakdown.

A solution to: Application failed codesign verification

Thanks Ev.

Thanks for taking time to share your findings. Thanks for ending a multi-day frustration for me. I'm sure this will be crucial to other developers who are releasing apps with facebook connect functionality.

Thank you !
I have to admit, all this was pretty stressful, but your post saved the day !

I had a similar problem where I had same symptoms but no ._ file. I ended up doing an SVN checkout to a new directory, removing all the .svn subdirectories (find . -name \.svn -exec rm -rf {} \; -print) and doing a clean build.

Not only did Find's "Compress File" work (it was failing before) but also uploading to the store stopped complaining.


I'd even rebooted and cleared XCode caches w/ no luck, but this helped. I am not sure if it was the fresh checkout (my gut says yes) or removing the .svn but it helped.

Thanks for the pointer Dave...
