The Info.plist contains a key 'UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend

I have this error after updated my inapp module.
Using unity 2018.3.13f1

ITMS-90339: Deprecated Info.plist Key - The Info.plist contains a key 'UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend' in bundle RequiemErich [RequiemErich.app] that will soon be unsupported. Remove the key, rebuild your app and resubmit.

I haven’t this key in my info.plist.
Using google don’t help me in this case

 

Just had this same issue. Probably some updates after wwdc announcements.
on xcode, View plist as code, and you'll probably find it.

 

Same problema but seems that nothing happens. We have just upload the app and now it's not rejected we don't know why.

 

I'm trying just removing the key in Xcode and submitting to see if it affects anything. I did this by using the search spyglass under the play button in Xcode to find "UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend" and clicking the minus sign to remove the key when it popped up. Hopefully apple's suggestion that we just remove the key, rebuild, and resubmit will just work without issue. One can hope.

 

isn´nt any key in info.plist like this

 

The name of this key in Info.Plist editor is "Application does not run in background"

 

Yes, and i have set this in NO, because if you put YES then the game its closed when user press home button really?

 

This seems like a bug in how Unity generates Info.plist. Could someone report this as a bug?
I got this message from App Store Connect:

This key was deprecated in latest iOS beta: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios_ipados_release_notes/ios_ipados_13_beta_release_notes

 

Thank you.

 

Same here, I had the same conclusion: some Apple update after wwdc and Unity is not prepared for this...

 

The problem is that the key no longer exists. When you set it to "NO", iOS now says "you're setting what to no?" Apple decided that nothing is allowed to quit on suspend, so got rid of the option, but Unity is still adding it to info.plist.

To summarize: either open info.plist as text and delete <key>UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend</key><false/>, or edit it within Xcode and remove "Application does not run in background".

I'll edit this 6+ hours from now to see if the resubmit is happy (it currently says it's uploaded with a warning).

 

The best solution I see now is to write a postprocessbuild script that opens generated Info.plist and manually removes the offending key (there's code examples for this on this forum). I don't see how manually editing anything in plist or in xcode itself is useful, for me at least. App is built via CI pipeline.

 

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEditor;
2. using UnityEditor.Callbacks;
3. #if UNITY_IOS
4. using System.IO;
5. using UnityEditor.iOS.Xcode;
6. #endif
7.  
8. public class BuildProcessor
9. {
10.    [PostProcessBuild(1)]
11.    public static void OnPostprocessBuild(BuildTarget buildTarget, string pathToBuiltProject)
12.    {
13. #if UNITY_IOS
14.       // Get plist
15.       string plistPath = pathToBuiltProject + "/Info.plist";
16.       PlistDocument plist = new PlistDocument();
17.       plist.ReadFromString(File.ReadAllText(plistPath));
18.  
19.       // Get root
20.       PlistElementDict rootDict = plist.root;
21.  
22.       // Set encryption usage boolean
23.       string encryptKey = "ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption";
24.         rootDict.SetBoolean(encryptKey, false);
25.  
26.       // remove exit on suspend if it exists.
27.       string exitsOnSuspendKey = "UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend";
28.       if(rootDict.values.ContainsKey(exitsOnSuspendKey))
29.       {
30.          rootDict.values.Remove(exitsOnSuspendKey);
31.       }
32.  
33.       // Write to file
34.       File.WriteAllText(plistPath, plist.WriteToString());
35. #endif
36.    }
37. }
38.  

 

same problem

 

So where do you add this script? Can I just add it to any game object in the first scene? Or what? I've never added a post processing script before and google just shows post processing effects.

 

Create a new code file called "BuildProcessor.cs" in a folder called "Editor". Create the folder if it doesn't exist, it's a special keyword folder, like "Resources".

Then put this in the new code file:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEditor;
3. using UnityEditor.Callbacks;
4. #if UNITY_IOS
5. using System.IO;
6. using UnityEditor.iOS.Xcode;
7. #endif
8.  
9. public class BuildProcessor
10. {
11.    [PostProcessBuild(1)]
12.    public static void OnPostprocessBuild(BuildTarget buildTarget, string pathToBuiltProject)
13.    {
14. #if UNITY_IOS
15.       // Get plist
16.       string plistPath = pathToBuiltProject + "/Info.plist";
17.       PlistDocument plist = new PlistDocument();
18.       plist.ReadFromString(File.ReadAllText(plistPath));
19.  
20.       // Get root
21.       PlistElementDict rootDict = plist.root;
22.  
23.       // Set encryption usage boolean
24.       string encryptKey = "ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption";
25.         rootDict.SetBoolean(encryptKey, false);
26.  
27.       // remove exit on suspend if it exists.
28.       string exitsOnSuspendKey = "UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend";
29.       if(rootDict.values.ContainsKey(exitsOnSuspendKey))
30.       {
31.          rootDict.values.Remove(exitsOnSuspendKey);
32.       }
33.  
34.       // Write to file
35.       File.WriteAllText(plistPath, plist.WriteToString());
36. #endif
37.    }
38. }
39.  

There is nothing more to it than that.

 

Confirming: simply removing the key, however you do it, works - Apple is smiling and happy after an upload, with no warnings.

 

Thanks! I can confirm that this works.

 

Thnx!

 

Facing same problem.

 

Same message here.

 

In StackOverflow or UnityAnswers, the solution will turn green and move up so it's the first thing you see. But not here. You need to scroll through every reply. Sometimes one post will have a partial fix, while posts below will give the rest. In this case, if you read just a few replies, you'll see the "ExitOnSuspend" problem has a fix.

 

Unity needs to fix this ASAP, it's so annoying, you don't find out about this error until you start uploading the build, which is like 10 steps and 5 minutes into the process, it must affecting tons of users

 

Just noticed it's not a real error - it's just a warning. It still lets me submit the app to the store.

 

Email from Apple after submitting:

Dear Developer,

We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app, "Famory" 1.0.3 (1). Your delivery was successful, but you may wish to correct the following issues in your next delivery:

ITMS-90339: Deprecated Info.plist Key - The Info.plist contains a key 'UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend' in bundle famory [famory.app] that will soon be unsupported. Remove the key, rebuild your app and resubmit.

In a few weeks or months it can or will be an Error...

 

can you please tell us where is Editor folder.
thanks

 

Push notification (one signal) couldn't work wtih this script although i activated background modes.

 

Under Asset folder. if create new folder under asset folder then give it name "Editor".

 

Same issue, but I have been tried to submit for review. Just now I waiting for magic from apple review :j

 

you are life saver man (Y)

 

Just a note that Unity is aware of the problem.

Has removing this key caused anyone's game to break in any way? I'm removing it and uploading but I'm worried that it will break my game in some way.

 

After removing this the xcode show error of not found this key in info.plist

 

Here are so much editors in my project in which editor please specify me thanks.

 

Any folder named 'Editor' it does not matter where, as long as it is within Unity's Assets folder.

 

Could you please elaborate a bit more on this? We use a background service to retrieve location data.

 

any news? Just built with 2019.1.13 and we still have that issue

 

Following

 

I have just come across the same issue, though that there are some workarounds provided here, I am waiting for the official fix to this issue.

 

It's really strange Unity is setting a flag in info.plist that is actually set to "NO". This does not make any sense to me, as "NO" was the default for this setting.

 

Just remove application run in background from info.plist.
That did it for me.

 

The issue is marked to be fixed in 2018.4, but still listed in known issues for the latest 2018.4 update: https://unity3d.com/unity/whats-new/2018.4.9. What's up with that? Does it mean that it will be in the next 2018.4 release?

 

It is fixed in 2018.4.10.

 

erm how is this not backported to 2017 LTS yet?! It's even mentioned in known issues

 

So, as the key deprecated in iOS 13, and we remove it from the info.plist file, then what happens to the app while running on older iOS versions? it's working in my case but I want to know what you guys found out. Please let me know.

 

Hello!!,
Unity: 2019.1.14.f1
Xcode: 11.2.1 (11B53)
First I could not upload the archieve, need to download from developer,, (last version not in Apple Store)
Wait,, install,, and ok,,, let's go again...

Appear now this error of "Uploading", ok, then go to search,,, find the "UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend"

file: info.plist .
UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend
There is a minus (delete-remove it)
Search again for "UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend"

And well... nothing like the green check with the message "Sucessfully uploaded"

 

I have just built with 2019.1.14 and Im getting that warning as well. Shouldn't it be fixed on 2019.1?

 

Same message

 

I used Unity 2018.3.13.f1
