Hello Indesign community! I have a big problem with APPLE AUTHORS (ITUNE), I am copying it below; thank you in advance for your help.
==============================================================================
Hello ChatGPT, I've been trying for a year to upload my books in EPUB format to APPLE BOOK via ITUNE. Here is the rejection message from APPLE BOOKS FOR AUTHORS and the explanation I asked ChatGPT for:
Explain to me what this means:
1 package(s) were not verified because they had problems:
/tmp/package.itmsp - Error Messages:

All files must be listed in the OPF manifest. For more information refer to Apple Books Asset Guide https://help.apple.com/itc/booksassetguide/" at Book/BookAssets
ChatGPT's response:
The error message you encounter when submitting your EPUB package to Apple indicates a specific problem with the EPUB file you are trying to upload. Here is a detailed explanation of this message and what it means:
Error Details
ERROR ITMS-9000: This is a common error when submitting EPUB files to Apple. It signals a general problem with the submitted package.
Error Content: The message specifies that the file FRANÇAISUltime blasphemePARTIE 1.epub contains files that are not listed in the OPF manifest. Specifically, the file FRANÇAIS-_Ultime_blaspheme_-_PARTIE_1-1.xhtml is not referenced in the manifest.
OPF Manifest
The OPF file (Open Packaging Format) is the heart of an EPUB file, acting as a manifest that lists all the files included in the EPUB package. This file defines the structure of the ebook, including metadata, declaration of media files (images, CSS, etc.), and content files (such as XHTML files for the book text).
Problem and Solution
Problem: Your EPUB contains an XHTML file (FRANÇAIS-_Ultime_blaspheme_-_PARTIE_1-1.xhtml) that is not listed in the OPF file. This can happen if the file was added to the EPUB package without being recorded in the OPF manifest, or if changes were made after the last manifest update.
Solution:
Check the OPF Manifest: Open your EPUB file with a text editor or EPUB file management software, and check the .opf file to make sure all XHTML files are correctly listed. For each file contained in your EPUB, there should be a corresponding entry in the manifest.
Add Missing Entries: If the file FRANÇAIS-_Ultime_blaspheme_-_PARTIE_1-1.xhtml is not listed, you will need to manually add an entry for this file in the <manifest> section of the OPF file.
Validation: After making these changes, revalidate your EPUB file, ideally using EPUB validation tools to ensure there are no other errors.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ITMS-9000 error and successfully submit your EPUB file to Apple. For more information and detailed guides, the Apple Books Asset Guide documentation can also be a useful resource.

I am not a computer scientist but an author. Is there a special setting in the EXPORT menu of INDESIGN that would prevent me from having to turn into a computer scientist?
