MAS Rejection: Missing Architecture

[Stan Busk]

Hi Beatrix, (Cced to Valentina Developer list)

Yes they are FAT files. Anyway I need those files to be FAT for everything except the AppStore, at least until I decide to drop PPC support. That will happen this year for sure. I guess Valentina will be Intel only at some point as well. PPC starts to be quite outdated. I don't know what Ruslan thinks about that...

For submitting my Apps to the MAS I found a simple solution by removing the PPC code from Valentina and any other library including it. I did that with the 'ditto' command. The command is:

ditto --rsrc --arch i386  AppName.app AppName AppnameCopy.app

For example:
ditto --rsrc --arch i386  /Users/maxprog/Desktop/iCash\ SE.app /Users/maxprog/Desktop/iCash\ SE.app /Users/maxprog/Desktop/iCash\ SE\ CLEAN.app

Then I delete the app and rename the clean copy. After doing that my App was accepted for review. Before that it was directly rejected.

Before ditto:
lipo -info /Users/maxprog/Desktop/iCash\ SE.app/Contents/vcomponents/libvshared_fat_release.dylib
Architectures in the fat file: /Users/maxprog/Desktop/iCash SE.app/Contents/vcomponents/libvshared_fat_release.dylib are: i386 ppc 

After ditto:
lipo -info /Users/maxprog/Desktop/iCash\ SE\ CLEAN.app/Contents/vcomponents/libvshared_fat_release.dylib
Non-fat file: /Users/maxprog/Desktop/iCash SE CLEAN.app/Contents/vcomponents/libvshared_fat_release.dylib is architecture: i386

>> In one app I have found a possible culprit, Valentina. I will contact Valentina developer and ask if they know something about that. For the other app, I am still investigating.
