'Invalid IPA: the .app must be in a "Payload" (case-sensitive) folder.'

Question

Application Loader 2.9.1 / XCode 5.1.1 Mac Os X 10.8.5

I have a .ipa and tried to upload it through Application Loader but I got this error :

IPA is invalid, it does not include a payload directory.

What can I do ?

Answer 1

Make sure the key "LSRequiresIPhoneOS" in the info.plist has the value "YES"

Answer 2

Make sure the key “Application requires iPhone environment” Value is YES

in the info.plist

Answer 3

I faced same issue, but I resolved by doing three things:

1. check in your plist file this key exist CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion and it value should be 6.0

2. check your icon file and icon files key in plist and they have all icons of your game that support iOS 7, please check all icon should have extension .png

3. check your 3rd party sdk that included in your project in right way or not. my project has problem with revmoe also
