Unable to upload iOS update after adding Flurry Analytics? Error: Your app can’t contain standalone executables or libraries

Question

In my Swift iOS application I've just added Flurry Analytics by creating a briding-header.h and importing Flurry.h. I then added SystemConfiguration.framework, CFNetwork.framework, and Security.framework.

I then added libFlurry_6.5.0.a via Targets -> Build Phases -> Link Binary with Libraries after instruction from a Stack Overflow question because it wouldn't build.

After archiving the app I tried to upload it and received this error:

ERROR ITMS-90171: “Invalid Bundle Structure - The binary file ‘APPNAME.app/Flurry/libFlurry_6.5.0.a’ is not permitted. Your app can’t contain standalone executables or libraries...

Answer 1

1. Open the Build Phases tab in the target settings for your project.
2. Make sure that Flurry.framework is not included under Copy Bundle Resources.

From Invalid Bundle Structure.

Answer 2

My case was a bit different. I added an static library to "Embed Frameworks" and I got a couple of errors when I uploaded the app to the app store:

1. The binary X is not permitted. Your app can't contain standalone executables or libraries, other than a valid CFBundleExecutable of supported bundles
2. Invalid Swift Support - Doesn't have the correct file type for this location

I removed this dependency and the problem was solved
