How to submit an Update

beefy_clyro

Hi. Im trying to submit an update to Apple for one of my apps, so far i have updated it in GS and then published it selecting the app and saying update. Im using the same files for the update. When submitting the update to apple i get this message ...

The binary you uploaded was invalid. The key CFBundleVersion in the Info.plist file must contain a higher version than that of the previously uploaded version.

Do i just need to make a new app id and distribution profile and then build my update using that?

Thanks

the .plist is a file with all of the apps info

Name:
Version:
Company:
etc.

Game Salad didn't update the plist when you clicked update. So you will have to do it manually through Xcode.

cool, thanks, any idea where i find the .plist file, i've published the game and have a .app file back, not sure where to get the .plist file to edit. ta

Hmm, not sure I have only ever found it when making an app through xcode.

Try exploring the .app file.

It should be in there somewhere.

ah got it thanks. on the .app file you need to say 'show package contents', then you see the .plist file and on that you need to say 'open with > property list editor'.

ah crap, ok i changed the plist file and have resubmitted and now get this message;

The binary you uploaded was invalid. The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an Apple submission certificate.

when you upload the project file through gamesald, click the advanced button. you'll have an area to put in the version number, just make it higher than the current one... i.e. 1.1 instead of 1.0.

pretty simple.

You might have to build it new again if you messed up the .plist file =/ Then just go from there with mulcahy's advice.

Yep Do what mulcahy said. It took me a couple of tries to figure that one out too. Perhaps in future releases that selection button will not be hidden.

jonmulcahy

yes, once those games are built, if you alter it it screws up the signing, you'll have to rebuild.

yup got it in the end, thanks for the help guys.
