I have an iOS app with a bunch of images in it. I used images inside of table view cells and as tab bar images. When testing for development and distribution everything worked just fine, and Apple approved it and put in on the app store. Problem is - I checked out my app from the app store and all of the images are gone! Both image sets are completely absent. Now, this only happens in the version of the app actually on the app store - the app in Xcode looks fine. Anyone have any idea what might be causing it?
Much appreciated!
p.s. if it helps to see the app yourself, let me know and I'll post a link.
Check your targets. In case if you use different target for building for appstore and for adhoc build you may included some of resources only into testing target.
Download your application from appstore, explore it using steps definehere, see if your images are in there, if not then re-upload binary with properly linked images, else, consider answer from #Nikita.

I have a Flutter developed App that I want to upload for App Store Review.
The App has been successfully uploaded through Xcode as you can see here— https://prntscr.com/26m7w94
Sadly, the Build doesn’t appear in my App Connect Build section as you can see here— https://prnt.sc/26no755
When I try to re-upload, it let’s me know that the Build is already uploaded to App Store Connect as you can see here— https://prnt.sc/26no84v
I have written to Apple and I don’t understand the answers they are giving me. They are just talking off-point.
Now I have waited for 8 days for this build to appear, but this uploaded build is not appearing.
Without this Build appearing, I cannot Submit to App Store Review.
Everything in the App Store Connect Form has been completely filled. Only Build remains to be added as you can see here— https://prntscr.com/26no94s
I can’t figure out what to do next, and this is 8(eight) wasted days gone by, with me not knowing what next to do.
Has anyone here faced this kind of problem before? How did you solve it?
Regards
Check in the TestFlight section. There might be a yellow triangle next to your build. You may need to answer some additional questions such as encryption usage etc. Just click on the triangle to answer and your build should be available afterwards.
Sometimes the answer to this issue is that there is actually a problem with App Store Connect (like right now).
You can check for issues on the Apple Developer System Status page.
For me changing the version from X.X.X to X.X.X+1 (2.2.2 -> 2.2.3) fixed the issue.
Sometimes it happens and I have also faced this problem .I successfully uploaded my bundle from Xcode but not found in connect.
I waited 30 minutes and refreshed .Then my bundle came in App Store connect.
Solution 1 : wait for some time & Refresh ,
Solution 2 : Create another Bundle and push to connect using Transporter (You can download transporter from appStore)
If the build doesn't show up on App Store Connect. You may want to check your email (the one you used as your Apple Id when uploading the build).
In my case Apple sent me an automatic email telling me that my build had some issues. Xcode didn't complain about anything and neither App Store Connect.
UPDATE: This might have boiled down to timing. After changing the version number to 1.0.0, that build showed up immediately. Half an hour later, the 0.0.1 build appeared out of the blue as well.
If you've set your version number to 0.0.1+X because you thought that makes sense while the app is still under development, change that back to 1.0.0+X. The upload will succeed, but app store connect won't list the build without a leading "1." in the version number.
Make sure no webviews are used in your app. It will not show builds in App Store Connect and neither XCode nor Apple will say that anything is wrong.
One of our old project is now updated to XCode 7 and iOS9 SDK. Some of the images in the project is missing #3x versions and since we have a critical bug we need to submit it soon. We were testing our AdHoc build by
"Exporting one app for all compatible devices" - It is working fine.
What I want to know is, will App Slicing create problem if I dont have #3x images? Is there a way to turn it off?
Meanwhile I am trying hard to get all the 3x images
Okay, This is what happened,
I submitted the App without some of the 3x images.
App got approved.
Released in production, no issues so far related to images.
But one thing I noticed was that the slicing didnt happen. The Universal App size was 65MB and now also for every device it is showing 65MB in the AppStore, so i am confused whether the slicing happened or not.
I have an issue when running my project on my device, but only if it has been downloaded from testFlight. It works fine when I build directly from Xcode to device.
Potentially relevant details -
Using AVCaptureSession, my app records segments of video where it can switch between front/rear camera etc. I have handled orientation of each video so when playing back or merging with multiple videos they all play the correct way round.
The playback orientation works as expected on my devices when I've built directly from Xcode. Though from the app dowloaded from Testflight, the orientation of the videos are wrong way round.
Devices used iPhone 5S - 8.1 & iPad 2 7.1
As mentioned, this is only an issue from TestFlight builds. I've not posted any code as logic works fine from Xcode. I have used TestFlight a lot over the past year and not come across an issue like this before. It only seems isolated to this video playback.
If anyone has had similar issues and knows how to resolve or has suggestion, that would be much appreciated.
I discovered why my testFlight build was acting different from my Xcode build and it all came down to Build Configuration settings within Xcode
I edited scheme which which brought up build options and within the Run option I changed Build Configuration from Debug to Release.
Although this never solved the video issue, it did allow the app to act as it would on release. I will now be able to continue test of my issue, but thought other people experiencing differences in their Xcode and test builds may wish to know about this setting.
Do you happen to be using Swift. Apple changed their certs and added an extra field as part of the process. Existing certs do not work when including external libraries that include Swift code. I lost a good chunk of time to this. Here is the explanation form TestFlight competitor AirSign.
https://www.airsignapp.com/ios-apps-using-swift-crash-when-signed-with-inhouse-certificate/
If this is the case, the conclusion is generate a new cert and a new provisioning profile using the cert. You may have to revoke your old cert if you have too many.
If you build directly from your machine you are using your development Cert. If you go through TestFlight you are using you distribution cert. What happens if you take the distribution ipa that you are about to upload to TestFlight and try to install that directly onto you device. IF you can not install the app then there is an issue with your distribution cert. I also assume you tried building a new hello world type app and going through TestFlight and then adding AVCaptureSession in a new build of the app and trying that.
To make my life easier I use iFunBox to directly install test ipas directly on my machine bypassing iTunes. Great free app. Just launch, Choose Install on Device and choose the ipa

I apologize for this not being exactly a programming question
I have a few apps that I'm deploying internally in our org using ad-hoc distribution with Enterprise account. What worked in iOS6 now creates two icons: one a normal app icon and another one is a weird default icon that has the same name as the main app. Clicking on this icon does not do anything. See attached screenshot (it only has the gray icons). I can remove the app through conventional means (long press and then the "X" icon), but I can not remove the gray icons.
Does anybody know what are those, and how do I get rid of them?
I had the same problem. The fastest way to get rid of these ghost or dead icons is to make a backup of your iDevice and then restore it.
I tried every hint i found with google and nothing helped but the restore. So my advice: Don't google anymore, just backup & restore ;-)
yes, we see that too. often but not always. it definitely looks like a bug
as for getting rid: no really good way...
restart the device, rearrange, delete a few times and wait a few days. a combination of that did the trick for a few phones here
no real solution except for apple to fix it :D
I found a reproducible way of causing this problem.
For me, it appears to be linked to the plist used for over the air distribution.
If you generate it through XCode/Archive/Enterprise Distribution, it works normally.
If you subsequently update the ipa, but keep the old plist, you will get this issue if you did one or more of the following:
1) change bundle identifier
2) changed the mobileprovision used to compile
3) changed the app version
Can anyone confirm? Or is this only happening to me?
The icon was not shown when archiving for distribution. though, it was shown when testing on a device.
I faced no errors, the process went smoothly and the app was uploaded successfully to the App store.
I keep reading question about (icon is not shown in archives) but I can't understand why such thing is important which lead me to my question.
So, the question is: Will the icon be shown when the users download the app? and if yes, why should I care if the icon is shown or not while archiving??
You shouldn't really care for that, it'll be shown to the users when downloaded from the app store
