My app keeps getting rejected as `invalid binary'

I too am under pressure to deliver an update to our app.

Good luck with the fix, keep up the good work!

Cheers!

What are the last steps you do before uploading the binary?

Flash Pro CS6 - File - Air 3.4 for iOS Settings -  Deployment Tab - Select my certificate, type in password - Select my deployment mobileprovision file (and check to make sure the app ID is correct) - Switch deployment type to Apple App Store - Uncheck Instal application on the connected iOS device - Click Publish

The ipa gets generated fine, and the upload goes through fine, but it seems like its getting auto-rejected as invalid binary right after the `upload recieved' is displayed.

I was really asking what the very last steps you take are, after the point that you have an IPA file. You didn't describe that, so I'm guessing that you open Application Loader, and choose that IPA file. Or, you renamed the IPA to be ZIP, and choose that file. In either case you're likely to get an invalid binary error.

What does seem to always work is to expand the IPA (open it with any decompression tool), go into the Payload folder, and zip compress the .APP file that is inside that folder. Then choose that new ZIP file as the one to upload.

Well, Apple says that the reviewer has the last desition, this not an issue in the Apple politics to reject, however they can reject if the engineer look a risk for Apple platform. Also in the reasons document to reject apps this item not exists. in any case, we wait for Adobe.

I'm not secure, but now Adobe can get some other metrics, how important is their framework now, with alot of publications per day.
