MAC OS X Lion 10.7.3 Update has Broken “App Submission” in Xcode 4.2.1 through Organizer

By | February 5, 2012 | Apple, MAC | No comments

 

Apple recently released an update to it’s OS X Lion software bringing it to 10.7.3. We heard from several sources about bugs surrounding CUI issues and the crashing of applications. We have found one which is critical to developers if they are planning to submit their apps to Apple for release on App Store.

Users are getting error messages like

“warning: iPad: Icon-72.png: icon dimensions (0 x 0) don’t meet the size requirements. The icon file must be 72×72 pixels, in .png for”

“warning: iPhone: Icon.png: icon dimensions (0 x 0) don’t meet the size requirements. The icon file must be 57×57 pixels, in .png format”

or both if your application is universal.

There is a workaround for this problem. Rather than submitting Apps through Organizer in XCode download new Application Loader and submit Apps manually till Apple fixes the bug.

UPDATE:

A user contacted Macscandal about another potential problem while syncing iPhone over wifi since the new update 10.7.3 applied to Macbook. According to user iTunes loses iPhone 4S in the devices list and trying to initiate the connection from the phone end will take forever. iPhone was plugged in when new update was applied however it seems very unlikely that this has caused any problem.

Apple Sale and Revenue will Continue to Increase in Corporate Market in 2012

Apple Sale Trend in 2012

Apple Sale Trend in Corporate Market 2012

Apple will continue it’s sale and revenue stream in corporate market in 2012. According to a report published by Forrester via 9to5mac, Apple will reshape computing equipment market as a whole.

Apple has been eating PC market share for the last few years and this trend will continue in coming years. There could be $9 billion worth of MAC and $10 billion worth of iPads sold this year. In 2013 this trend will continue and there could be worth $12 billion of MACs and $16 billion worth of iPads.

Analysts have been predicting that cloud computing — specifically, infrastructure-as a service (IaaS) — will reshape the server and storage market… Actual adoption of IaaS remains limited…The biggest disruptive force in the computer equipment market thus is not IaaS, but Apple. This is a surprise, because Apple has not and does not directly address the corporate market, while turning a wide variety of consumer technology markets upside-down. But its rapid growth in the corporate market has been the big surprise of 2011, and it will be even more of a factor in 2012.
