I have a Xamarin Forms project which debugs fine, builds fine on both iOS and Android. However when building the IPA for iOS, I try to use the Application Loader to submit the IPA and it reveals the error below:
I am getting the error "ERROR ITMS-90029" Storyboard file 'LaunchScreen~ipad.storyboardc' was not found. Please ensure the specified file is included in the bundle with any required device modifiers appended to the filename.
I have configured the LaunchScreen.storyboard file to "Builds for" iOS 8.0 and later.
As it's a Xamarin Forms project, I only have one storyboard file, LaunchScreen.storyboard . In my Info.plist, my Deployment Info is:
Deployment Target: 7.0
Devices: Universal
Main Screen: LaunchScreen
Device Orientations: Portrait, Upside Down
Hide Status bar: no
Requires full screen: no
Launch Images:
Launch Screen: LaunchScreen
This is such an absolute nightmare. I have tried every combination of settings, rebuilding, cleaning, you name it. They all produce IPA successfully, and they all error out with the same error. I cannot figure it out.
It looks like this breaks on EVERY build. The solution is, after EVERY build, to manually edit the Info.plist with a text editor and add the following key/value combos. They either disappear with each build, or they add back in spurious values:
<key>UIMainStoryboardFile~iphone</key>
<string></string>
<key>UIMainStoryboardFile~ipad</key>
<string></string>
I solved a similar issue by re-selecting the Storyboard from the dropdowns in info.plist options. Make sure to re-select the option from BOTH Deployment Info > Main Interface and Launch Images > Launch Screen.
NOTE: I fixed this in Visual Studio Mac. I haven't tried the same in VS Windows.

I've got a Xamarin.Forms Project containing an Android and an iOS Platform Project.
I've got my whole application working on Android and I am now struggling on the iOS part. I can't get my images to display on iOS.
I've followed the Microsoft guide on how to work with images on Xamarin.iOS, but it's simply not working.
I have created a minimum example from a new project and uploaded it to GitHub, it can be found here.
Output: On Android, the image is being displayed fine, on iOS, the screen stays empty. In addition to that, the logs I've added to AppDelegate.cs show, that the images cannot be found by using UIImage.FromBundle()
I've also checked the CSProject file of the iOS project, but it already contains the <ImageAsset> item groups.
I am on Visual Studio Professional 2022 (Windows) Version 17.4.1
Can someone please have a look into this? I am going crazy...
I have test your project with the Visual Studio 2022 for mac. And I had the same results in the Android platform and ios platform. The small car icon will show at the top of the screen.
But for the iphone 14 pro simulator, which has a notch screen. The car icon almost be covered. So you can try to run it on the ipad or a device without notch screen to check the car icon will show or not.
In addition, I have checked your Assets.xcassets folder and the official sample on the github. There is no a such xxx_vector folder in it.
Background information:
What's deprecated (but still works) is individual resource files (aaa.png, aaa#x2.png), with no xcasset.
An xcasset containing those files is not deprecated. Nor is it likely to become deprecated in the future.
If you still want to test with .pdf containing vectors:
What is problematic about your setup is that you have TWO representations of car_settings. One with .pngs, one with vector pdf.
What happens if you remove the xcasset with .pngs, and rename the one with pdf to match the filename in it? (car_settings xcasset, with car_settings.pdf).
Close VS, and delete all .bin and .obj folders after making this change, to ensure VS correctly rebuilds with the vector version.
If this still fails, then you likely have encountered a bug. Add as an issue at github xamarin forms issues. Be sure to mention the versions of VS and Xamarin.Forms that has the problem.
I have a macOS app with a ViewController that renames and resizes the app window, has several buttons, and a WKWebView that loads a default webpage on launch.
The project itself is an .xcworkspace file, since it includes the CocoaPod SwiftSoup for HTML scraping.
The app runs great in the simulator. When it launches, it looks like this:
I want to run this app on my Mac outside of Xcode. I am not planning on releasing it to the App Store, it is just for my personal use.
I archive the project with Products > Archive, then select "Distribute App", then "Copy App" to create a directory with the archived app. This all works great.
When I launch the app, I just get an incorrectly sized blank title-less window, without the buttons or WKWebView from my Storyboard:
The app isn't hanging. I can open the "About" menu item, etc., so I know the app is running. it just doesn't seem to be using my Storyboard to draw the UI.
What would cause an archived app to differ from the app running in the simulator?
The funny thing is that I WAS able to archive this same app back in November under High Sierra, so I'm guessing the issue is either Cocoa Pods and/or Mojave related.
My debugging leads me to suspect either CocoaPods or Mojave related
My debug:
1) While debugging, I restored a version of the project from November. When I archive that restored project, I get the same blank non running app.
2) I AM able to archive another brand new project that doesn't use Cocoa Pods, so my guess is that this is either CocoaPods and/or Mojave related issue...
Any suggestions on how to proceed debugging, or help resolving this would be greatly appreciated!
I am using Xcode 10.2.1 under Mojave 10.14.5.
This problem is caused by WKWebView.
So, you need remove WKWebView from IB and then create it with code and add it to the view.

I was hoping someone could help me with an issue. I was attempting to upload my app to the App Store when suddenly I received an error message stating that I had a missing icon file. The error was:
ERROR ITMS-90022: "Missing required icon file. The bundle does not
contain an app icon for iPhone / iPod Touch of exactly '120x120'
pixels, in .png format for iOS versions >= 7.0."
I haven't modified any of my icons but I did notice that when I updated the info.plist file to change the Build Number I noticed that the file had additional settings for "Car Play" and a few other devices which I hadn't specified any images for.
My plist.info file references an Asset Catalog and I have icons for IOS 7-9 specified. Im not sure what Ive done wrong.
Ive built my icons using the website https://makeappicon.com/ and Ive uploaded two previous versions of my app to the app store already without any issues. This is the first time this has happened.
Ive update XCode to v7.2, also updated the OS and applied all updates to Xamarin Studio.
Ive seen a few other people on the forums with this problem and they suggest changing the plist.info file to include the following:
<key>CFBundleIconFiles</key>
<array>
<string>Icon-60#2x.png</string>
<string>Icon-76.png</string>
<string>Icon-76#2x.png</string>
</array>
This still doesn't work and the verification process fails. Furthermore, I don't think I should have to do this if my plist.info is referencing the asset catalog.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Thank you

As unsatisfying as it is, I was able to resolve the same issue with my default issue resolution steps I have.
Updating Xcode (to v7.2.1 in this case)
Launch Xcode to install extras
Updating Xamarin (Xamarin.iOS to v9.4.1.25 in this case; Xamarin Studio stayed at v5.10.2)
Restarting machine
Clean the project (obliterating the output first probably doesn't hurt)
Archiving again
I had this ITMS-90022 and two ITMS-90023 errors that both went away after that.
I keep getting this error when I try to submit my app to the store using Xcode:
ERROR ITMS-90475: "Invalid Bundle. iPad Multitasking support requires launch storyboard in bundle 'com.companyname.appname.'"
Anyone know what this error really means?
This is because you need to specify how your app is supposed to handle multitasking on iPad.
If you don't want to handle multitasking right now, you can simply disable it by going to the "General" tab of your target:
I solved the problem in this way, see here:
If you must opt out of Slide Over and Split View, do so explicitly by adding the UIRequiresFullScreen key to your Xcode project’s Info.plist file and apply the Boolean value YES.
You need to add a Launch Screen (Xcode > File > New).
Under iOS > User Interface you select "Launch Screen" to add it to the project.
For the iPad you need to support all 4 orientations.
Select in Xcode your target file, and under the General Tab, go to the "App icons and Launch Images".
Here you select the Launch Screen file you created.
When you launch the app you'll see the launch (bitmap) images are not used, but the Launch Screen Storyboard.
You can either do it as André showed or directly add:
<key>UIRequiresFullScreen</key>
<true/>
On your .plist file.
If you are using Cordova, you might want to use the cordova-ios-requires-fullscreen plugin (see How to disable iOS9 multitasking through Ionic/Cordova?)
Update: you can also use the cordova-plugin-ipad-multitasking, which seems to also prevent another issue (ITMS-90474)
Update: this should now be fixed using Cordova tools 5.4 without the need for these plugins.
In Xcode 14.2, setting the launch storyboard should be as simple as selecting the required storyboard as Launch Screen File in the "General" settings for the target. This not only avoids spelling mistakes, it also ensures that the storyboard is included in the bundle. However, I found that uploading to the App Store failed as per the OP if support for multiple windows is included (that is, if requires full screen is not checked).
If the storyboard has been configured in this way then the problem may be because the name of the storyboard includes a .storyboard extension, which it's not supposed to (see also post by Muhammad Ibrahim). This can be fixed without checking the box for requires full screen:
In Xcode, go to your build target and select the General tab.
In the section "App Icons and Launch Screen", check if a Storyboard file is selected and if it has a .storyboard extension.
If so -> tap the name of the storyboard to edit it, take off the .storyboard extension and press return.
That's it! The name of the storyboard will no longer show, but the problem will be fixed.
IF you ONLY want to set RequiresFullScreen For iPhone, and support iPad Multitasking, try this:
<key>UILaunchStoryboardName~ipad</key>
<string>LaunchScreenIPad.storyboard</string>
<key>UIRequiresFullScreen</key>
<true/>
<key>UIRequiresFullScreen~ipad</key>
<false/>
LaunchScreenIPad.storyboard is the name of LaunchScreen for iPad.
iPhone will still use Launch Images Source pictures.
Apple Document Ref: Creating Platform- and Device-Specific Keys
If you want to support split views in iPad, in your info.plist file, set just "LaunchScreen" as the value for key "UILaunchStoryboardName", instead of "LaunchScreen.Storyboard" and you need to support all 4 orientations for iPad.
Using Xcode 5 GM, anytime I switch to the 5.1, 6.0 or 6.1 simulators to test, I get the error "iOS Simulator failed to install application." When I reset the simulator it works, but this is getting very tiring.
Anybody have a permanent fix or workaround?
Looks like this is a known issue. From the Xcode 5 release notes:
After switching the minimum deployment target of an application from
iOS 7.0 to a release prior to iOS 7.0, building and running the
application may fail with the message “iOS Simulator failed to install
the application.”
Go to the iOS home screen, click and hold the application icon, then tap the hovering “X” button to delete the application. 13917023
Another release note:
iOS Simulator
If an iOS app is detached, relaunching the same app from Xcode will
result in a black screen in the Simulator even though the new app is
launched. Terminate the app in the Simulator or relaunch it for the
second time. 14648784
Delete the old version app in your simulator (usually iOS 6.x).
Alternatively, header over to iOS Simulator - Reset Content and Settings.
This can be easier when you have a lot of apps on the simulator and can't remember which one you're currently working on.
You need to do this for every iOS Simulator version that causes the problem.
None of the other suggestions worked for me. However, after comparing my existing app settings to a new vanilla project, I noticed that the "Build" field for my Target was blank. Once I put something in that field, the app installed just fine!
if you have already developed project and you used xib to develop views then
X-Code > Inspector Selector Bar > Interface Builder Document > opens in > and change from Xcode Default(5.o) to Xcode 4.6 .
Build and Run your app it will run successfully, if it won't run again then, header over to iOS Simulator - Reset Content and Settings. delete old app from simulator then Run again.
i got the same problem but solved by following way....
Launch the iOS Simulator
Go and click "iOS Simulator" menu
Click "Reset content and settings"
Close simulator and rebuild your app.
Above screen shot is showing the way how you can do this...
I think this works for you...!!!
Deleting the app in the simulator works for me.
just wanted to add that this happen only if I open xib that created in xcode 4.6
If it's other files, this not happen
try this ....
in my case nothing have worked for me , after resetting the content simulator also , i am not able to install the app on simulator . after that i just changed my project location . i just moved the project to other location . then it installed successfully.
None of the above things worked for me. I just reinstalled xcode and it worked.
Ran into this issue today. Found it was an empty Reference Folder (blue folder) causing this. Removed the folder from Resources in Build Phase... cleaned build folder for the heck of it, and it went away.
/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Developer/Xcode/ --> remove all contents of this folder, then simply launch the app from Xcode.
To check your Executable file settng ex.$(EXECUTABLE_NAME)
(Project setting - info property page)
I have different issue when getting error message “iOS Simulator failed to install application”, the reason is because I have added a property in App-Info.plist without any value. For instance, [Application Category] with no value. Thus the error will show up as well.
When I got this error, the image of the phone actually appeared, but the image of the app I wanted to test did not. Instead, I was on the main page of the phone that shows the apps you have. I fixed this problem by deleting the many icons that appeared on the start screens - about 30 of them. These had been created when I testing apps over the months. So, not saying its a solution, but it started working after I deleted the old app images.
For me it was -framework XCTest.
It made the app die with iOS Simulator failed to install application
and on the device Could not inspect the application package.
Removed it and now works.
You are using Xcode GM which is under beta stage. Use latest Xcode 5.1.1 available.
Also, these error occur while switching between simulator (32 bit and 64 bit).
Quit the simulator and re-build the application. OR
Reset simulator from "iOS simulator" -> "Reset content and settings.."
I changed my app name and bundle id midway. I happened to delete the Executable File name in my plist. I changed it back to "${EXECUTABLE_NAME}" (no quotes) and I'm back in business.
