[URGENT] Rejected Mac app store invalid DLL

we have about 20 games in the MAC APP-STORE but from today...
MAC OS 10.8.5 UNITY PRO 4.2.1f4
Player settings build : Target Platform MAC OS X / Architecture : x86
nobody else had this problem?
---------------------------------------------------
Dear developer,

We have discovered one or more issues with your recent delivery for "TukTuk Race". To process your delivery, the following issues must be corrected:

Unsupported Architecture - Application executables may support either or both of the Intel architectures:

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:

Windows DLL (in TukTukRace.app/Contents/Data/Managed/Assembly-CSharp-firstpass.dll, TukTukRace.app/Contents/Data/Managed/Assembly-CSharp.dll, TukTukRace.app/Contents/Data/Managed/Assembly-UnityScript-firstpass.dll, TukTukRace.app/Contents/Data/Managed/Assembly-UnityScript.dll, TukTukRace.app/Contents/Data/Managed/Boo.Lang.dll, TukTukRace.app/Contents/Data/Managed/Mono.Posix.dll, TukTukRace.app/Contents/Data/Managed/Mono.Security.dll, TukTukRace.app/Contents/Data/Managed/Photon3Unity3D.dll, TukTukRace.app/Contents/Data/Managed/System.Configuration.dll, TukTukRace.app/Contents/Data/Managed/System.Core.dll, TukTukRace.app/Contents/Data/Managed/System.Security.dll, TukTukRace.app/Contents/Data/Managed/System.Xml.dll, TukTukRace.app/Contents/Data/Managed/System.dll, TukTukRace.app/Contents/Data/Managed/UnityEngine.dll, TukTukRace.app/Contents/Data/Managed/mscorlib.dll)

Once these 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." You can then deliver the corrected binary.

Regards,

The App Store team

 

I have the same error and am very interested in the solution.

 

Hmm. Those are library assemblies and not Windows DLLs. I'd be inclined to simply resubmit. If the app is still rejected, appeal and explain that the app uses assembles but no Windows native code.

 

resubmitted 4 times...

 

I think it is an automated response from a build checking system on their side. It flags the assemblies as Windows DLLs, possibly simply because of the file extension being .dll. I guess there's little choice but to appeal to Apple?

 

I also think that something changed from October 1, but the app is immediately rejected

 

Can you try the suggestion here and see what frameworks are listed:

Already done this works on Frameworks(es. libmono.0.dylib) and the result was ok, does not works with DLL

Norberto-Bizzarris-iMacacchettoInvio norbertomito$ lipo -info "TukTukRace.app/Contents/Frameworks/MonoEmbedRuntime/osx/libMonoPosixHelper.dylib"
Architectures in the fat file: TukTukRace.app/Contents/Frameworks/MonoEmbedRuntime/osx/libMonoPosixHelper.dylib are: i386 x86_64

Norberto-Bizzarris-iMacacchettoInvio norbertomito$ lipo -info "TukTukRace.app/Contents/Data/Managed/Photon3Unity3D.dll"
lipo: can't figure out the architecture type of: TukTukRace.app/Contents/Data/Managed/Photon3Unity3D.dll

 

We are also getting the same issue from Apple App Store on our Mac submission. Please Advise.

 

Nothing new?

 

Not that I've seen but sounds like others are having similar issues. My guess is that Apple updated something after rolling out iOS 7. Have you tried contacting Apple support to see what they have to say about it?

 

I am having the same exact problem. It's very frustrating.

 

Just submitted a question about it to Apple, will post their response as soon as I get it.

 

I contacted Apple and they said to just upload again.

Now it is working.

 

confirmed it works

 

Yep, got the same response. Works fine now.

 

i had the same problem with Mono but only on the .exe files:

Windows EXE (in your.app/Contents/Frameworks/Mono.framework/UnityDomainLoad.exe)"

The trick is to delete the suffix ".exe" only. Apple only filters files with the ".exe" extension. Unfortunately you can't simply delete the exe file as it is registerd anywhere in the unity code and the game will not launch. by renaming the automatic filter cannot sort out the file and it works. just for all the poor guys with a similar problem with a unity game. my version is 2.1 and i had other problems bringing our game into the store too but this was really nasty

 

@Tremetor - can you walk me through the process you used to get UnityDomainLoad.exe into your built application? The frameworks folder is meant to have a sub-folder called MonoEmbedRuntime. You seem to have gotten a different sub-folder. What Unity version are you using?

 

its the 2.1 version as we can not update to a newer Version - the game is made with 2.0 originally and its in the MAC APP store but had problems with 10.8 to 10.8.4 but itworks with bugs on 10.8.5. after the last major MAC OSX update to 10.8.5.! - so we had to update the game to provide a good gaming experience and ran into the .exe problem...
We used the normal build command from the menu in Unity as usual ... and if you try to remove the exe from the app bundle, the game does not load and it crashed immediately.
We still got problems with it as apple changed a lot of things and exe files are still a problem.
if there is another solution for our problem: many thanks in advance

 

this it how the monoframework looks in our app bundle: http://www.dmms.de/red/mono.png

 

Ah okay, you're using a legacy version of Unity, which was released a long time before the Mac App Store existed. That's why you're getting an exe in the build.

 

"legacy version", that sound not too good as we invested a lot of time and money in our game:-(
but seriously, if you have an idea what do to... you would make us really happy!!!

 

I'm afraid I have no experience with Unity versions prior to 2.5 - and the version you use was from 2009, sorry. All I can think of suggesting is that you strip the .exe from the filename, and then have a launcher that symlinks UnityDomainLoad.exe to UnityDomainLoad.

 

yes, stripping works fine. but apple still recognizes this as ".exe" - we are now in discussion with apple what to do as our previous version is in the store with that little exe file. our main problem, the conversion of the project from unity 2.1 to unity 2.5 is not possible after detecting too many problems (shaders etc) so i think for this game its the last time we will try to load it into the app store...
