    Does this happen with 0.10.4.1?

    @BlackCloakGS I uploaded a game to HTML5 with 0.10.4.1 and it worked fine.

    Hey, it seems Apple has added new questions to the Prepare to Upload page that might have something to do with why people are getting this error. I would submit my game to see if this fixes the error, but I don't know how to answer these questions. See attached image. Also, I'm using 0.10.4.1 to submit.

    I'm sure many, many people that are invested in GS would appreciate a NEW tutorial
    from begin to end on how to publish to iTunes... What Say All? I really don't care about
    a new version of Creator. A system that just works without having to jump up three times, hold a cup in the left hand while praying the back button still works type of process. That would make me very happy!

    I never quite understand this complaint. The visual process is a little different from past tutorials but everything is still there. You still need a provision profile that was created correctly etc....

    Though please keep in mind those videos take time lots of time. So the people making them who are not being paid have to find that time to do this free for you. GameSalad does has a written document though it may be a little outdated as well. Why would try spend the time to update it when they are creating a new creator UI that may very well inches again change the publishing process? Be patient. Believe if it not you can learn from the outdated videos. You just have to dig an experiment a little more to find everything.

    Just think back when I started using GameSalad that was all you had when it came to learning how to publish. ;) well I guess there was the apple docs about making your profiles correctly. :)

    Ha.. So true. A little experimenting goes a long way. Figure out how to get it uploaded
    to apple and also got the "go back on the IDFA issue". Thanks all! Keep up the good
    work! Cheers

    i accidentally clicked no on the advertiser identifier (IDFA) now i cant upload my app or go back and re-send binary .

    APP LOADER says error :improper advertising identifier [IDFA] usage. Your app contains advertising identifier [IDFA] API but you have not indicated useage on the prepare for upload page in iTunes connect

    anyone found a way to fix this problem, it driving me mad, or do i need a pro account and re-publish my app and untick ad gamesalad network ???? so much confusion LOL

  • nikkyoryzanonikkyoryzano Member Posts: 242

    same problem, and I'm using the 0.10.4.1

  • nikkyoryzanonikkyoryzano Member Posts: 242

    btw i uploaded a game a week ago and it was fine (using iAds) and i choose "no" on the IDFA question. But now I got that error, anyway if I choose "yes" on the IDFA question, does any body know what answer is for using just iAds? thanks

  • AlipateAlipate AustraliaMember Posts: 15

    I think it's fixed so when u upload the app it tells you to update binary :) crazy apple

  • Pl4yorDieMortyPl4yorDieMorty Member, PRO Posts: 13

    Still a bit buggy!

  • kipdevkipdev Member Posts: 275

    So how do you get this issue to go away? I read all of this but i do not want to hit yes on the IDFA question because i am not using ads... So i keep hitting no, and keep getting "invalid binary". what do I do?

  • VladoVlado Member, PRO Posts: 11
