On Mac App Store submission my app get rejected with following explanation:-

"With a valid receipt installed, the app quits on launch. The Console reports the app "Exited with exit code: 173" and the OS states the app "is damaged and can't be opened". This generally indicates that the app is not verifying its receipt correctly."

I do not do any receipt validation in my code at all so what can I do to fix this? It happens only on review, not on my side. This is simple swift ui + Objective-C+ some C++ for logic OS X application. With other app, (Objective-C + CPP) everything was alright.

  • Are you really sure you don't have any receipt checking code? Exiting with code 173 seems very unlikely without it. – Aderstedt Aug 26 '15 at 05:24
  • I am sure I do not do receipt checking code. It is basically a new swift template with some controls added. Only if it is somehow built-in by Xcode? – Alexander B Aug 26 '15 at 05:27
  • Then the only explanation I have is that the review ran another app by mistake, or that s/he mistakenly picked this rejection criteria instead of another. – Aderstedt Aug 26 '15 at 05:30
  • Actually it is not first submission. Previous reviewer asked to remove some items from menu, so at least once it run in review environment. – Alexander B Aug 26 '15 at 06:20

After all this happened to be bug on the reviewer side. I asked to reexamine my app in Resolution center and it passed the review. Thanks to @Aderstedt I felt more confident that it's not my bug.

  • I'm currently receiving this same issue/response from the reviewers, and just asked for them to review it again. I don't have any receipt checking/validation code going on either. – Dids Oct 11 '15 at 06:39
