    See my reply to the other post you made, about getting using AIR 24 instead of AIR 23.

    Hello Everyone,

    This issue has been fixed in AIR 24 beta Download Adobe AIR 24 Beta - Adobe Labs

    The AIR sdk now changes string from application descriptor to integer in Info.plist in the ipa.

    Thanks,

    Krati | Adobe AIR Engineering

    A hotfix in AIR 23 SDK would be nice for people (like me) who don't want to publish with beta versions. Thanks!

      Hey, if you're struggling to upload your app to iTunes Connect, I've found a way to modify the Info.plist and resign the IPA:

      - rename your IPA to ipaName.zip

      - unzip the IPA

      - go in the Payload folder, right click on the app, show package contents

      - open the file Info.plist

      - change the UIDeviceFamily item0/1 type to Number

      - open a terminal, navigate to the folder where the Payload folder is, type "zip -qry whatever.ipa Payload"

      - download iOS App Signer ​

      - resign your IPA with the right certificates

      I was able to upload, and submit for App Store without any warning

        we have exactly the same problem. Using macOS Sierra, Application Loader 3.6, SDK 23

        can't make any updates. Apple rejects also in TestFlight. When there will be a solution?

        This is STILL an issue.  The complile and submission to iTunes Connect works, however, the TestFlight app will NOT let you install, says it's "not compatible".  If you take the same IPA file and install manually (using iTunes), then, this works.  But, TestFlight must also look at this key and it's failing.

        PLEASE FIX ASAP!!!!

        To clarify my post above, iPhone install in TestFlight works, but, does not work on iPad.

        Have you tried renaming the .ipa to .zip, locating the pinfo file and changing the DeviceInfo <string> to <integer>? I do not know if the .ipa has a signature that would prevent this from working, its just an idea.

        Just to note that our app went live and all good. So I think you can avoid that warning for now. Cheers
