We built our app using Expo. We published it successfully to Google Play

We got error when submitting our app to App Store. The steps that I did to submit our app:

  1. expo build:ios
  2. Wait for Expo to build our app
  3. Download .ipa file on a MacBook (a very old one without XCode)
  4. Submit .ipa using Transporter

I got ERROR ITMS-90596: "Invalid Bundle. The asset catalog at 'Payload/ExpoKitApp.app/GoogleMaps.bundle/GMSCoreResources.bundle/Assets.car' can't be processed. Rebuild your app, and all included extensions and frameworks, with the latest GM version of Xcode and resubmit." as below. (Note: image is copied from https://github.com/expo/expo-cli/issues/195)

ERROR ITMS-90596

I think the app is build by Expo server. And it should include all required code to submit to App Stores.

What's wrong with steps above? How can we solve this?

I had a similar issue (built app on windows, built IPA in cloud by Expo, failed to submit IPA on a Mac through Transporter with ITMS error code)

In this case, I submitted the IPA with Application Loader from XCode 10.1 and it worked. I downloaded an old version here: https://developer.apple.com/download/more/. I also needed to download the command line tools.
