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.
