ERROR ITMS - 90167 No. app bundles found in the package

Question

Before I start writing about the error, I\'m running on macOS Sierra and using Xcode 7.3.1.

So I\'m creating an Archive from my App, I validate the App and it passes

Answer 1

I was having this issue with Xcode 8 GM and trying to submit an app for release though Application Loader.

You have to use the version of Application Loader that comes with Xcode 8, which should be 3.6

I still have Xcode 7 installed, and was using Application Loader 3.5

Update

• My apps submit okay now and go into processing, then soon after disappear completely. I think this might be a separate issue though.

Update 2

• You still can't use Sierra to submit your apps. At least not until they release the GM.

Update 3

• This issue is still occurring with this particular project. All other new ones (sticker apps) that I have created since public launch have been submitted to iTunes Connect with no issues.

I worked on this project during the betas, so it's possible something has been corrupted along the way and is causing issues. Might require starting a new project in Xcode 8.

There's a thread on the developer forums addressing this issue. https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/62703

Solution

Turns out the fix for us was to add the "NSCameraUsageDescription" key to the info.plist with a description of what the camera does in the app.

Not sure if that solution will help in all cases though.
