I have a small app that consists of 2 targets, an app and a framework thats included as an embedded binary in the first app:

enter image description here

These are the only two products in my project:

enter image description here

Yet whenever I code sign and archive the app, an extra called 'A' shows up: enter image description here

I have checked the project folder and there is no directory or file called A. Has anyone else ever experienced this? And is there a way to remove it? The app is sandboxed if this helps

Ok, the 'A' seems to come from the the framework which by deafault is stored under /Versions/A, and this only seems to happen when its code signed

I'm also experiencing this issue.. going CRAZY here... have no idea what to do with this error.

Finally I've managed to fix this! (ref for same issue AppStore submission: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Invalid Bundle Structure - The binary file 'MyApp.app/BuildAgent' is not permitted)

Here's how i did it:

  1. Remove all the stuff related to whatever SDK/Framework you've added and cause the issue
  2. Choose your target -> Build Phases -> press + on Link Binary With Libraries (choose add other... and add only the .a file)
  3. Drag all the rest of the files for the SDK/Framework (do NOT drag the .a file also)

Clean + Archive and you're good to go!

Faced same problem today!

Select your main App target, and go to Build Phases. Under "Copy Bundle Resources",I had to remove the "APPNAME EXTENSION App.app".

After that, I was able to submit my App to the App Store.
