Application loader help

Nmdogdude

When trying to publish my app through the application loader, I get an error 'local path isn't writable' yet I have all my browsers (safari/firefox) with read&write access.
Help please.

Did you zip the file? You must zip the file before upload so right click on the file and choose compress. Also, right click on the file and select get info and at the bottom of the info window make sure the permissions are giving you ability to read/ write the file.

I would open up disk first aid and run a permissions repair.

make sure xcode and all those xcode folders and programs are installd at the hard drive level not your home folder level

Nmdogdude

So I should re-install Xcode?

The_Gamesalad_Guru

I would and make sure you trash all of the Xcode files first.

Nmdogdude

I deleted all Xcode files, and re-installed Xcode 4.2and I still keep getting those errors.

The_Gamesalad_Guru

Are you using the application in Xcode called application loader. It's inside the Xcode folder in a folder I can't remember the folder name but app loader has a rocket icon. That's the program you use to upload to apple iTunes connect.

Nmdogdude

Yeah I used finder and used the Application Loader with blue squares and a white 'A'

I saved it as a .zip file, and I have read/write access
Instead of 1 error, I got 3 wierd.
1)Unable to create configuration directory:/User/macbookproowner/.itmstransporter
2)Your home folder must be writable in order to save run-time configuration data. Please ensure your home folder exists and is writable.
3)Cannot save local copy of remote diagnostic configuration;local path isn't writable.

1&2 have a red circle with an x on the left side
3 has yellow triangle with an ! inside

What do you mean you saved it as a zip file? You need to right click on the file and select compress.

Nmdogdude

I meant to say that I did compress it, I'm running a permissions repair right now... hope this works

Nmdogdude

Just finished a permissions repair, and I still got those 3 errors... maybe I should try it again.

You do have an admin account on the box right?

Do you use a Hackintosh?

Also if you have the Lion OS install Xcode 4.3 instead of 4.2
