Please describe the issue:

Hey Support team,
My iOS build and upload didn’t work. Unfortunately, I don’t understand the error message. The build worked before without uploading. It’s probably due to the Apple Store.
Can you quickly tell me what I did wrong?
Thanks and best regards,
Frank

Reviewing your build log, I see a few possible issues:

  1. You are trying to build a release app but you are using a development provisioning profile based on this error in your log: error: exportArchive Provisioning profile "XXXXXX" is not an "iOS App Store" profile.
  2. It appears that you may have a plugin that’s not been updated for cordova-ios engine 8 - or you have that plugin version locked and haven’t allowed the updates to occur. I would either use engine 7.1.1 or check your plugins for updates.

Thanks for the feedback.
If 2. were the problem, building an iOS app without exporting to Apple wouldn’t work, right? If I change “iosPackageType”: “app-store” to ‘iosPackageType’: “ad-hoc,” I can download an ipa file… If a plugin were the problem, that wouldn’t be the case, right?

Regarding 1: What is the difference between a development provisioning profile and a release app? The voltbuilder.json file contains “release”: “release”, ‘iosPackageType’: “app-store”,… That should be correct, right? I am using an old app from 2019 on appstoreconnect. Is that the error and do I have to recreate the app with Apple?

Thanks in advance.
Best regards, Frank

Since you are able to perform an ad-hoc build, it definitely seems that your provisioning profile from Apple is meant for development and not distribution. You can check at Apple’s developer portal.

Here are some brief instructions taken from our VoltSigner product:

Go into Profiles . Register a New Provisioning Profile for either Development or Distribution and fill in the rest of the fields. For Provisioning Profile Name , enter development or distribution . Generate and Download .

Let me know if this resolves the issue.

Hello,
after trying out your tip with the certificates and creating a new app, the app is being uploaded to Apple…

However, I am now getting an error :

UserError: [ContentDelivery.Uploader.600002D04180] Validation failed (409) Invalid bundle.
The “UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait,UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown” orientations were provided for the UISupportedInterfaceOrientations Info.plist key in the ch.basel.archaeotour bundle, but you need to include all of the “UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait, UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown,UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft,UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight" orientations to support iPad multitasking.
For details, visit: UISupportedInterfaceOrientations | Apple Developer Documentation .
(ID: f1d23649-90d4-4aac-9da8-fc290c129c79)
See log for more details.

Build ID: c36c1850-09cf-4778-8c9d-0ee22e19f36f

The entry in config.xml



UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown


has no effect after installation.

Does anyone have any tips? The app must always remain in portrait mode…

Thanks and greetings,
Frank

Thanks, but that post is 10 years old… Unfortunately, it doesn’t work.

This is getting into some very specific iOS issues, but here’s Apple’s article on the subject: UIRequiresFullScreen | Apple Developer Documentation

You can see it’s deprecated and requires special usage to work: UIRequiresFullScreenIgnoredStartingWithVersion
