Mac app Store game - invalid binary

Chris Fitsimons

After uploading a game using the apple app loader, I received an error in email:
Files Only Readable By The Root User - The installer package includes files that are only readable by the root user. This will prevent verification of the application's code signature when your app is run. Ensure that non-root users can read the files in your app.

Has anyone seen this before? I used the standard method to compile the game with GameSalad before sending it to apple.

Hey Bethany - sorry, I can't help you on this as I haven't done anything on the Mac App store yet

In lieu of other responses, can your dad not help?

Good luck!

Hi George, long time no beer!

This seems to be an odd problem. I first sent the package (.pkg) file built by GS to iTunes to confirm it was rejected as an invalid binary. I then manually built the .pkg file and this also failed with same error. I will copy the project to another machine and try again.

I am just wondering if the problem is on the GS publish server where it repackages the project file and adds the binaries and .info information. I will update the thread later after more testing.

Regards

it seems the problem was inside the game project file.

in the end I did a "CD <game.gameproj>" and then command: "chmod -R 777 *". Resent the game to the publishing server and uploaded to apple fine.
