Mac App Store Publishing Bug?

DigiChain

I'm getting this error message when attempting to upload a published Mac Store App to apple (published with latest very of GS):

ERROR ITMS-90266: "Your application bundle must install to '/Application'."

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

You have to have a Mac installation profile.

Apparently you do not so when signing it is not creating an installation .dmg (I believe this is the issue)

Ok, thanks - I believed I had all setup as needed (as I've been through this process many times before), but perhaps I've overlooked something.

I'll check my profiles to see if I've missed something.

I've been planning to make a Mac Publishing tutorial. I may make that tonight and be ready to ad to my YouTube tutorials by Sunday Morning. There are actually quite a few more things to do than the iOS publishing process. Hope yours get resolved before then anyways.

You having been through this process before...it is unusual for there to be issues but...who knows.

@Thunder_Child - great Mac publishing tutorial video, thanks.

Having watched it through it doesn't appear I am missing anything though, and all my certificates are valid and installed.

I just want to check - did you use the latest build of GS for your video (0.13.38)?.. as I'm still wondering if the issue is with me or with this build.

To clarify - after publishing I end up with both the .pkg to upload, and the .app which I am able to run on my mac. But when attempting to upload the .pkg file I'm still receiving the error message:
ERROR ITMS-90266: "Your application bundle must install to '/Application'."

Thanks

Yes I used the latest build of both GS and xcode.

Ok, thanks... looks like i've got some troubleshooting to do then!

UPDATE:
I've finally got to the bottom of this issue - and others may find this helpful too:

If your application name contains a '.' when publishing for the Mac app store it will be rejected as it affects the installation directory.
