Invalid Binary Error (The bundle uses a bundle name or display name associated with an Apple app) after App Store submission

Question

We tried to submit a new build to iTunesConnect for updating an existing application. It is a quick patch for fixing one server url.

We changed two files: REST.plis

Answer 1

To resolve this issue, note that the values for both of these fields must be unique in your Info.plist file:

• Bundle display name (CFBundleDisplayName)
  • displayed below icon on home screen
• Bundle name (CFBundleName)
  • defaults to PRODUCT_NAME, used internally, e.g. in filename like MyApp.app

That is, your CFBundleDisplayName can be as unique as you want, but if your CFBundleName isn't, your upload will continue to fail.
