mac app store error

I've been trying to submit my app to the mac app store and I've been trying to figure out how to solve this issue:

Files Only Readable By The Root User - The installer package includes files that are only readable by the root user. This will prevent verification of the application's code signature when your app is run. Ensure that non-root users can read the files in your app.

I haven't been able to fix this problem for a while and does anyone have a solution?

Why can't I use Mac App Store?

It's possible that your Mac needs you to sign into the App Store, even if you've signed into your Mac using the same Apple ID as your App Store utilizes. If you can't sign into Apple App Store on Mac, try signing into your Mac with your Apple ID again, which may require signing out and back in.

In my case, none of the files were owned by root, but one had no read permissions for group and everyone, but only for my user. I found this by using this cmd in Terminal:

ls -lR /path/to/app

I then searched for "-----" inside the output from the ls command, which found the problematic file.

I had the same problem, but my solution was to run:

cd myApp.app
chmod a+rX *

This fixes the permissions and makes the Application Loader happy.
