Possible to compile for Mac Store?

[mrplant]

I agree thats what it sounds like... but its not me compiling the app - its GLBasic .. I am clicking on compile multi platform - Build for OSX_X86 in GLBasic then trying to sign that binary..

Its a bit different with Compile for iPhone where you use Xcode to compile and can change things like architecture platform etc.

If GLBasic had an option to compile for "Mac (App Store)" - where it spat out a project to be compiled later with Xcode - wouldn't that be a way to solve this? Then you could sign yourself with Xcode as you do with iOS.

[MrTAToad]

Unless, of course the Intel applications are using PowerPC frameworks, even when compiling just for Intel...

[Kitty Hello]

OSX_X86 is the right option. Does it contain ppc code!?

[MrTAToad]

It looks like it could!

[mrplant]

It looks like there may be some PPC code in there as this is the automated rejection response from Apple when uploading the binary..


i386 (32-bit)
x86_64 (64-bit)
Other architectures may not be included in submitted binaries. Confirm that your Xcode project's build settings include those architectures and no others.
Specifically, we found the following unsupported architectures in your binary:

ppc (in Crush.app/Contents/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Versions/A/SDL)

Though not required, we also recommend that you address the following issues:

Invalid Signature - the executable Crush.app/Contents/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Versions/A/SDL is not signed, the signature is invalid, or it is not signed with an Apple submission certificate. Refer to the Code Signing and Application Sandboxing Guide for more information.

Invalid Signature - the executable Crush.app/Contents/MacOS/SoundEngine.dylib is not signed, the signature is invalid, or it is not signed with an Apple submission certificate. Refer to the Code Signing and Application Sandboxing Guide for more information.

Once the necessary issues have been corrected, go to the Version Details page and click Ready to Upload Binary. Continue through the submission process until the app status is Waiting for Upload and then use Application Loader to upload the corrected binary.


So the signatures are not required it would seem but the main stumbling block seems to be something in:
ppc (in Crush.app/Contents/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Versions/A/SDL)

When Apple says: Confirm that your Xcode project's build settings include those architectures and no others. - does that mean a project setting for Architectures supported would fix this?
If you marked your project as Intel only - would it ignore any PPC code in there I am wondering... There is no way to do that i know of - other than adding a setting manual to the info.plist file but I don't know what that setting would be..
Its more a project wide setting when creating a new project I know you can set it there..

[MrTAToad]

Looks like they don't want SDL programs to be in the store...

[mrplant]

I hope thats not what it is..
They accept iOS no problem..
I had a look inside the contents of the files in the Tooyan app  - and it has the SDL library in it..
Unless this is a recent change when they scan the files after submission to the mac app store - trying to search on google for SDK apps in Mac App store but can't find a definite yes/no answer to this...

[MrTAToad]

Indeed - fortunately (!) it does sound as though there is PPC code in the SDL framework - is it possible for someone to check it ?

[fuzzy70]

There are 2 versions of the runtime on the site for 1.2, one for 10.4+ which is for PPC/Intel, the other is for 10.5+ & intel only.

regarding the 1.2/1.3/2.0 frameworks they are just source files so whatever is compiling them is the only thing that can introduce PPC code as far as I can tell. Not knowing how GLB creates it's apps I can't say if its GLB's end or the Xcode project it creates.

[MrTAToad]

In which case the wrong XCode settings could be being used.

[fuzzy70]

Hmm, just thought I would compile a mac app just to look at what it produces but can't compile it. All compiles fine for windows & linux by using the options menu then build-multiplatform just both mac ones fail.

Even the WinCE version compiles without a problem. So I must be doing something really dumb for it to fail or missing a step. I couldn't find any special instructions for compiling to mac in the help file

[mrplant]

After many hours glad to report i've cracked it!

Just managed to upload a valid binary..

Status changed to: waiting on review!

I will type up all my notes...and post later..

Bottom line - 6 or so terminal commands to manipulate glbasics output and keep Apple happy - there doesn't seem to be a need for anything to be changed or altered as far as GLBasics output is concerned!

Bear with me a bit...

[trucidare]

Just Strip ppc Symbols. Described this months ago. Tooyan is First valid app Store Game.

[trucidare]

And now to describe how i did that some pictures:

Very simple and i think kitty put this in his glbasic setup

File is located in:

That sounds like XCode isn't installed (or is not the correct version).
