Cannot upload the GeoJSON file in new iTunes Connect

Question

I am trying to upload a Routing App Coverage File in the NEW iTunes Connect. The file name is example.geojson. I get the following error:

Invalid file extension: Your routing app coverage file must use the .geojson extension

I tried in Chrome and Safari even changed the name to example.GeoJSON.

I validated the contents of the file in http://geojsonlint.com/

Any ideas?

Answer 1

When uploading a .geojson I found that you newlines may cause it to not be saved on iTunes Connect but still be validated on geojsonlint.

For example:

FAILS:

{ "type": "MultiPolygon", 
  "coordinates": [ 
    [[[14.094369,36.060248],
    [14.138314, 35.869068],
    [14.428181,35.746154],
    [14.744622,35.782218],
    [14.648492,36.028047],
    [14.181083, 36.192884],
    [14.094369,36.060248]
    ]]]
} 

SUCCEEDS:

{ "type": "MultiPolygon", 
  "coordinates": [ 
    [[[14.094369,36.060248], [14.138314, 35.869068], [14.428181,35.746154], [14.744622,35.782218], [14.648492,36.028047], [14.181083, 36.192884], [14.094369,36.060248]]]
    ]
}

Actually I solved this by taking the default geojson file provided by Apple at: Providing directions (Listing 7-2)

and then i took the coordinates from github project:

Countries

It worked by saving the file as example.GeoJSON

I have the same error message about .geojson extension. I opened it in BBEdit, delete leading spaces and tab and reformat it with JSBeautifier. After that I can upload it to iTunes Connect. The problem was not related to .geojson extension but to the content of the file (probably a mix of space and tab)
