Question

I am trying to submit my first app to the App Store but when I try I am getting the following error:

ERROR ITMS-9000: \"Your binary is not optimized f

Answer 1

If you refer to https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/MobileHIG/LaunchImages.html it says that iPhone 6(plus) require launch XIB or storyboard file.

And if you have a look here https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/MobileHIG/IconMatrix.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006556-CH27-SW2 it refers the image sizes and never explicitly says that iPhone 5 can handle a launch file (I know it also does not say that it doesn't). At least iPhone 4s looks like it does not, so I guess that iPhone 5 doesn't either and you have to add a static file.

Answer 2

This issue happens because you don't add launch image whose size is 640x1136 (iphone 5) correctly.

After editing Contents.json below, I can upload to iTunesConnect normally
