I'm working on a framework which embeds another framework (from CocoaPods) for error logging on iOS. This is working very well, and I can embed such a framework in an iOS application for testing, codesign everything, and debug on my own device easily. Unfortunately, when attempting to upload such an application to Apple for distribution, I get an error message as such:
Invalid Bundle. The bundle at '<myapp>.app/Frameworks/<myframework>.framework' contains disallowed file 'Frameworks'. With error code STATE_ERROR.VALIDATION_ERROR.90206 for id ***
I'm not sure if this message indicates that I'm not allowed to embed a framework in another framework or what. It seems the automatic codesigning Xcode is doing is not recursing to the deepest embedded framework upload (I have a script to manually sign everything on build). Does anyone have experience with an error like this or know where to look? It seems others have asked questions about embedding frameworks in other frameworks before, but most of these are how to get linking to work or how to properly reference these nested frameworks. My issue is specifically if I am allowed to upload such things to test flight/the app store, and how to do so if it is possible. Most people having this issue seem to have disabled swift support, but none of the projects I'm using have swift code.
Nested bundle cannot include a framework. You can check this apple document.
iOS and tvOS support frameworks and Swift system libraries at the topmost app level; a nested bundle, like an app extension, can’t include a framework.
And there is a warning block that worth being noticed:
If you put content in the wrong location, you may encounter hard-to-debug code signing and distribution problems. These problems aren’t always immediately obvious. For example, when building a Mac app, incorrectly placed code might work during day-to-day development, but might cause problems during notarization.
So that is the reason everything seems normal while running in debug mode but failed at distribution.
Before, react-native 0.45, when you'd create a project, it would generate a XCode project file in the ios folder so that you can open it with XCode and use it to submit your app to the app store.
Since react-native 0.45, react native project are created with the create-react-native-app command and there is no xcode project anymore.
I read that you can "eject" to go back to the old style and get an XCode project. create-react-native-app is supposed to make everything easier, so I suppose there is a way to submit to the app store without ejecting that doesn't make the whole process much more painful than by using XCode.
To be clear: I understand that there are probably ways to submit to the app store without XCode, but aren't them much more painful? I can't believe that react-native would then consider it an improvement to not generate a XCode project anymore.
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Since react-native 0.45, react native project are created with the create-react-native-app command and there is no xcode project anymore.
This is incorrect. create-react-native-app is simply one of two ways to start a React Native project. The react-native init method of starting a project is still there in the docs.

You are not going to get a good answer for this as it's very much down to opinion. StackOverflow is not the right place to ask such a question.
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Same with this question. Please read How to Ask to properly demonstrate what you've tried and exactly what issue you are running into.
As a starting point for learning how to publish, I suggest looking at the create-react-native-app documentation as it gives you two options right there:
Ejecting to generate the ios and android folders with which you can then publish.
Using a third party service like Expo to publish for you.
Their documentation goes a bit more into depth on the options. This is the best summary I can give as an answer without putting any of my opinions into it.
I Uploaded the build via Xcode Yesterday it worked fine but while uploading today the build is uploading perfectly but after 10 minutes i got a email form apple stating that.
While processing your iOS app, ---------------Build(1.0.22), errors
occurred in the app thinning process, and your app couldn’t be
thinned. If your app contains bitcode, bitcode processing may have
failed. Because of these errors, this build of your app will not be
able to be submitted for review or placed on the App Store. For
information that may help resolve this issue, see Tech Note 2432.
I only changed the one line of code and changed the Build Number. And, I uploaded 4 build got the same Error.
I met with this issue today, I used google-api-objectivec-client-for-rest (as framework).
I tried all the solutions above, but failed.
Now I fixed it by copying all the source of google-api-objectivec-client-for-rest to my own project. Hope it helpful to you.
MY SOLUTION THAT DID NOT WORKED BUT MAYBE CAN GIVE U A WAY OUT
In My own case, i developed my IOS APP with PhoneGap
After so much research, was told to disable bitcode from my ItuneConenct App Account https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/Chapters/ChangingAppStatus.html
And was introduced to a new phonegap plugin to disable bitcode in my IOS APP https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-cs-disable-bitcode
which i added to my Phonegap app config.xml file
Yet after rebuilding my phonegap IOS app and uploading to ItunesConenct using Application Builder (Got a successful message from the upload). Few mins' after the upload, I got same message from Apple with the same error.
This can give you a hint
Finally got it to work. In our case, the error was in one of the embedded frameworks. Generating a Production Ad-hoc build and then trying to export it generated an error message that pointed us to an error in a setting within one of the framework files. The framework has been there for a while and we never had any issues with it until this release.
I had the same problem and I found the solution. In my app, I had the Google Plus framework: GoogleOpenSource.framework. This framework was the problem. I searched about the latest update in Google Plus: https://developers.google.com/+/mobile/ios/upgrading-sdk.
The latest version was 1.7.1. This version has the same problem. In my app, I removed the login with Google Plus (deprecated https://gyazo.com/685a58f98ee0b0fca16a6bd83636aad8) and I added Google: https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/ios/sdk/
This works for me.
A greeting.
Hey guyz My App has been approved by Apple Store.
The trick i used was this
Deleted the plugin folder on my App root directory before building
Because most plugins were not compatible with Apple has to use just few of them on my manifest file
<plugin name="org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser" />
<plugin name="org.apache.cordova.network-information" />
<plugin name="org.apache.cordova.splashscreen" />
<plugin name="cordova-plugin-whitelist" />
i was surprised when Apple sent me a message that my App has been Approved just now.
I Home this trick work for someone
If you are having this problem recently, i.e. since September 2016, it may be due to having a 'special character' in the title of your app.
I had several targets for the same code, some of which would process OK and some of which would fail. The ones that were failing all had Apple symbols in the title, for example one app was called '🇨🇲 Flags'.

I had this happen a couple days ago and the temporary solution for me was to not include bitcode for iOS content, which is an uploading option (see image). Apple suggests to do an ad hoc export with an ad hoc provisioning profile to receive the errors and logs of the failure, but I'm unable to reproduce the error(s) and the ad hoc export is successful each time. Will update this post when I find out how to re-enable bitcode, but for now this seems like a good temporary fix. -Update: there was an error in the name of one of my project folders, mixup with symbolic folder name, when I corrected the name to match what was actually in the folder structure I was able to upload properly-
I've experienced the same symptoms and have found a solution.
The root cause of the issue is invalid/incorrect keys in a given bundle's embedded Info.plist.
This is typically the .bundle contained within a third party library e.g. GoogleMaps SDK.
The steps for remediation are:
For each .bundle containing only resources:
Remove the key/value CFBundleExecutable
Change the value for key
CFBundleSupportedPlatforms to iPhoneOS (Item 0, first element in the array. The previous value was iPhoneSimulator in my case)
The technical reason is that CFBundleExecutable should not be present in a bundle's plist if there is no executable. The value for CFBundleSupportedPlatforms is self explanatory, it should be iPhoneOS.
Tech Note 2432 mentions the above two keys but does not elaborate how to resolve the issue.
I hope this solution works for you.
As another user above stated... Remove the Plug In Directory and it solves the problem!
I just uploaded a fully functional version of my App with all of my Plug Ins. When I use build.phonegap.com to compile my IPA file, I have no Plugin folder in the ZIP file. The plugins are correctly referenced in my config.xml file.
It works!
I have no clue why this was ever an issue, but that is the ticket to move forward!
Finally, I made this work!!!
Just like #applejack42 said, you must remove CFBundleExecutable key of all 3rd party library info.plist file.
In my case, I just remove this key from JSONModel info.plist, and submit.
Success!
I really hope it works for you, because that issue make me crazy.
update xcode to 8.0 which published at 0914 from apple store , rebuild project and submit to iturns , the issue was not found , instead any detail info for anouther issue which use ios 10 sdk required . i have submited success, and waiting for approval .
Ive attempted various build and submitted to Itunes with Xcode 8 and 7, with no success.
Deleting my plugins folder was not the solution, neither was greping through all my .plist's to find the CFBundleExecutable. At this moment its just waiting on further discovery from the community and or returning to our 3rd party resources and asking them to update their libs which may not be as easy as apple is suggesting us to do.
To identify the affected libraries I built to an iPhone with Bitcode enabled and in my case their are three libs that need updating. This may not be the best solution but if you need an explanation for your superiors this may save you some time in identifying what needs updating.
I will update my thread as I continue along this road.
Apple recommends to test by archiving the app first and then exporting the app for ad hoc distribution. If there are errors, you can then see this in the logs, you can access them from the export dialog.
My favorite solution, if there is no error during export:
update cocoapods
run pod install
clean the project and resubmit
It just worked for me, no clue why, but it might be worth a try instead of wasting hours on finding a solution for a non existant problem ;)
For me the Issue was that one of my frameworks wasn't embedded and signed . hope that might help someone
I have met with this situation with Xamarin IOS Project in Visual Studio
I have solved in
Clean All
Rebuild All
then archive your project
I have a lot of frameworks in my app. App works fine in adhoc/enterprise release. Only if I submit to the app store for testflight testing I get this error email from apple:
Dear developer,
We have discovered one or more issues with your recent delivery for "My app's name here". To process your delivery, the following
issues must be corrected:
Invalid Bundle - One or more dynamic libraries that are referenced by your app are not present in the dylib search path.
Once these issues have been corrected, you can then redeliver the corrected binary.
Regards,
The App Store team
there is no specific information here. How can I debug it?
Got an answer from Apple Developer Technical Support which says it is a bug on Apple's side. this is the suggested workaround below which did not work for me:
To diagnose this issue, you should export the IPA you are sending to
the App Store from Xcode. Since IPAs are zip files, you can
decompress it by right clicking and saying Open With > Archive
Utility. You should find your main executable inside the unzipped
folder structure and run otool at the command line to see the library
list: otool -L
The list of paths you get should match what you find inside of your
IPA. All of your libraries should start with #rpath. A simple
comparison of everything in this list with the unzipped IPA folders
should reveal what is missing.
Once you know what is missing, go to your Xcode build phases setup.
There should be a build phase for either Copy Files or Embed
Frameworks that includes the missing library — you should just add the
library to the list. If you don’t see either of these build phases,
you can recreate it by adding a new Copy Files build phase, setting
the Destination to Frameworks, and adding the library to the list,
ensuring that Code Sign On Copy is checked.
If you don’t find anything missing in your main binary, make sure to
do the same search on any other binaries you may have, like for a
watchOS app or an iOS app extension.
If you find that all of the frameworks are in this build phase, please
take a look at the Embedded Binaries section of your app target’s
General page, and let me know if you see multiple levels of ../ next
to the binary that you found is missing.
Please let me know if it works for you!
I have encountered the same issue when uploading an app with watch support to the app store.
I was able to solve it with the hint from the first answer, using otool -L to analyze the binary from the ipa or xcarchive.
However, the problem was not with my frameworks (at #rpath) but with a swift lib. I noticed that libswiftWatchKit.dylib was missing in the frameworks folder.
The solution that worked for me was as simple as to set EMBEDDED_CONTENT_CONTAINS_SWIFT=YES in the build settings of the watch app (or the watch app extension, but not both). After that, all necessary swift libraries were correctly copied to the watch app path in the archive and upload to app store was working correctly.
Apparently, the watch app works and upload passes if you provide the necessary swift libraries only in the main app's folder.
After adding the custom Swift framework to my project I got this email after uploading the app to iTunes connect.
I got this email from iTunes store,
Invalid Bundle - One or more dynamic libraries that are referenced by your app are not present in the dylib search path.
The fix is simple for this issue,
Step 1: Make sure your Custom framework is added to Embedded Binaries in General tab of your target.
Step 2: Under build settings,
Set Always Embed Swift Standard Libraries = Yes for your main project target.
And Set Always Embed Swift Standard Libraries = No for your custom framework target.
This solved my problem and I was able to upload binary to iTunes connect.
Ref
Tried all the above solutions and did not work for me.
I was experiencing this issue in Xcode 10.1 recently and all my frameworks were referenced correctly (did otool -L and everything lined up).
Seems there were some changes in the apple validation process, may be a bug, may not be on Apple's end, but all my prior builds uploaded and validated fine -- and I did not add any new frameworks since.
Upon uploading the binary to iTunesConnect, I'd see the following error:
Invalid Bundle - One or more dynamic libraries that are referenced by
your app are not present in the dylib search path.
Invalid Bundle - The app uses Swift, but one of the binaries could not
link to it because it wasn't found. Check that the app bundles
correctly embed Swift standard libraries using the "Always Embed Swift
Standard Libraries" build setting, and that each binary which uses
Swift has correct search paths to the embedded Swift standard
libraries using the "Runpath Search Paths" build setting.
MY SOLUTION:
After days of debugging, what worked for me was to disable 'Include bitcode for iOS content' upon uploading the archive from Xcode organizer. Seems that this option modifies the binary which caused the validator to fail.
Or you can disable bitcode in your Build Settings
My Problem:
I had the same error with embedded frameworks.
The App project has Custom Framework project
Inside the Custom Framework project is another Custom Framework project
The app built to the simulator and to devices with no problem but failed the Apple test, returning "Invalid Bundle".
I inspected the package just like Taha had been told to by Tech Support and everything was present and correct!
My Solution:
I restructured the project so that the two custom frameworks sit side by side and one is no longer embedded within the other.
This looks to be an Apple validation problem since everything works fine on devices and the simulator but the work around was straight forward.
In my case, in the build settings, this was fixed when I added the following to the build settings for the library:
DYLIB_INSTALL_NAME_BASE = #rpath
The clue was a linker warning: 'YourLibrary has an install name beginning with “/”, but it is not from the specified SDK'
Had same issue. This happened to me because one of my Framework target was added to main target in "Link Binary With Libraries" but was not added to "Target Dependencies" and "Embedded Binaries"
I also received a similar mail from Apple:
Dear Developer,
We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app,
"********. Please correct the following issues, then
upload again.
ITMS-90562: Invalid Bundle - One or more dynamic libraries that are
referenced by your app are not present in the dylib search path.
Best regards,
The App Store Team
I used my own framework for my watch app. I solved this issue by changing the framework option to "Embed Without Signing" in the Extension Target. The default option was "Do Not Embed".
I had the same problem, it was due to one framework not being present in the Frameworks subfolder in the app bundle.
I fixed it by adding a Copy Fields build phase, and adding the missing .framework file there.
This error message is also addressed in Apple Technical Note TN2435
Embedding Frameworks In An App: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2435/_index.html
You can find the error message under the heading "Missing Framework Bundle" with troubleshooting steps.
We had the same problem, and even after going through all the steps (see "Missing Framework Bundle"), the only thing that worked was disabling Bitcode.
So I struggled on this for two days. What it turned out to be was I had UITests checked in Archive for the Build for the Scheme I was archiving.
After unchecking it from Archive, re-archiving it, validating it (although validating it before always passed), and "Upload to AppStore" I did not get the e-mail from Apple informing me of Invalid Swift Support. Instead I got the e-mail that it'd been processed and is good to go!
In my case, I've had to add a framework from Notification App Extension to the main target (embed & sign in the main target, do not embed in the extension) - even though there was no mention about it in otool -L output.
Funny thing that Iterable official doc says that the framework should be embedded & signed in the extension - which would lead to another upload problem because of nested bundles.
I am running into an issue when building an Ad Hoc build of my app with cocoalibspotify.
I have followed the instructions for iOS: https://github.com/spotify/cocoalibspotify#building---ios
I don't have any issues running the app with the Spotify framework in Simulator or on my device.
The issue is related to $CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR/include, which in gives me the following paths:
build/Ad Hoc-iphoneos/include
build/Debug-iphoneos/include
build/Release-iphoneos/include
Removing $CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR/include from my Framework Search Paths doesn't really change anything, and of course I am still unable to Archive the app. I noticed the Cocoalibspotify project doesn't have an Ad Hoc configuration, maybe this is the issue? I've tried to solve it with this related answer for a question but without any luck.
Any ideas?
Check the included examples, which all archive fine. It's likely you're missing "$(BUILD_ROOT)/../IntermediateBuildFilesPath/UninstalledProducts/include" from your User Header Search Paths.
