Question

Signature no longer valid

I can't upload a new app to the app store with Application loader. The message keeps telling me that "Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an iPhone Distribution Certificate"

I've never had this problem before and have many apps on the app store. My membership is valid until March 2012. I'm using the same .p12 certificate I always use and the same distribution mobile provision. I tried re-downloading both certificates and mobileprovision and creating a new p12 in keychain but nothing is working.

What could be the issue?

If you do:

codesign -dvv pathtoappfile

does it show anything that might give a clue?

You would need to unzip the IPA file, to get the path to the app that is inside the Payload folder.

hi colin

where do I type "codesign -dvv pathtoappfile"?

I looked in the payload folder but it's not clear to me where the app actually lives inside all the jargon in there

You would type the command into Terminal, the Mac application that is in the Utilities folder on your Mac. After the codesign -dvv part would be the full path to the app file, which you can get by dragging the app into the Terminal window.

If you take an IPA file that Flash made, and rename it to be .zip instead of .ipa, you can then double click the file to unzip it. That only gives you one item, a Payload folder. In there is only one item, the App file (that you will be checking with codesign). If you're seeing more files the you're looking in the wrong place.
