ILCrashreporter breaks Sparkle updates - cocoa

I have just added ILCrashReporter-NG to my application to log application crashes. Unfortunately it seems to have broken my Sparkle updates (Sparkle gives an error when the appcast has downloaded and the Install button is clicked). I have added the ILCrashReporter launchReporterForCompany: report addr: method to applicationDidFinishLaunching. Does anyone have any experience of implementing these two frameworks together and if so, is this a problem that you encountered.

I use the two together without any problems. What's the error that you get? Did you change anything else besides adding Sparkle?
The only time I've had the update fail, as you describe, was after changing my bundle id so that the bundle id in the update and the application didn't match.

What to do about "The Components object is deprecated. It will soon be removed." in dev tools Console

For almost every page I open in Firefox, I see this error in the Console of the developer tool bar:
(!) The Components object is deprecated. It will soon be removed.
The source is the html page. It happens with pages I create, but also on many common websites.
I found this documentation on Components object on MDN web docs, but that does not clarify a lot. Note that even that page shows this message(!)
It looks like a warning, but according to the Console filter, it is an error.
My main questions are:
Is this something for me, as a developer of the page reporting this, to solve?
If so, how do I go about that?
I am not aware of any problems as a result of this. For now, that is.
I have seen this for over a year, maybe longer. I mostly ignore this, but every now and then it starts nagging me again. I don't want my code to break suddenly and would like to get rid of this message obscuring other messages.
This is not for the developer of the page to solve.
While biking back home, a possible cause popped up in my mind: could one of the add-ons I use cause this and yes, that appears to be the case.
I restarted with disabled add-ons and the message was gone.
Then I enabled them one at a time and the culprit is
Selenium IDE.
A bug report on this issue was closed with Won't fix, with the message:
This error will resolve itself when we move to a native app later this year.
In a MozillaZine topic of 2012, it is explained how it could have been solved.
The first one is just a warning that the addon is using "Components"
directly, which won't necessarily always be possible when using the
Add-on SDK. (The preferred way to do it is to access the aliases for
Components.classes and Components.interfaces and such that the SDK
provides by requiring the "chrome" module.) It shouldn't be a problem
right now, but might become one in the future.
it happened for me after installing Selenium plugin in my FireFox.

"Attempt by security transparent method" when re-opening a default application

I created a new application with react native windows, and it works well the first (few) times I run it, however, when closing the application I always end up with the following warning:
Attempt by security transparent method 'System.Reactive.Concurrency.CoreDispatcherScheduler..ctor(Windows.UI.Core.CoreDispatcher)' to access security-critical type 'Windows.UI.Core.CoreDispatcher' failed.
I've tried this on more than one computer and all of them get the same error but I can't find a way to fix this, meaning I cant proceed with my Native project in fear that it will malfunction every day.
How do I fix this, to stop this from happening again, or is it a bug?
I'm a novice in React Native myself, but here are a few suggestions:
1) There's an issue logged in GitHub on this exact problem: https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows/issues/1954
2) I personally find that I get this with command-line execution (react-native run-windows) but I don't think(?) that I've seen it when running from inside Visual Studio. Try that approach to running instead.
3) As described at GitHub - I've found that deleting windows\Debug folder before running tends to resolve the issue.

How do I archive/validate a Swift App that uses a framework in Xcode

I have an App that uses Admod and Firebase from Google. Since I am using Swift they want me to use frameworks when loading them from CocoaPods. When I try to archive/validate the App I get the error:
No suitable application records were found. Verify your bundle identifier 'org.cocoapods.GoogleToolboxForMac'
What is the correct way to provision an app that uses someone else's frameworks so it can be uploaded to iTunes Connect? I tried to find something in Apple's documentation but I haven't found anything.
UPDate:
I previously had answered my own question, since I had thought I had found a solution. My reply was:
Problem Solved. Turns out I was using an App-ID that I am having Apple look into as being corrupt. I had already created a new App-ID to prove the one I want to use is not working and retried with that and it Validates. This required a lot of help from the Google Ads Mobile SDK team. Thanks.
So the correct answer is: Now Incorrect
You should not get this error unless you are using a Bundle-ID that is not already registered on iTunes Connect, but, you should never be able to create an archive that does not have a Bundle-ID that is not already registered on iTunes Connect. So this is caused by an abnormal situation.
This is no longer true
I used my new working project and got 4 whole builds out of it and into iTunes Connect. In the process I was trying to clean up the mess caused by trying to solve this problem, like loosing my git history. I tried to modify my old App to get it to work and without modifying my new working project, But my new project started failing with the above error. I even used my time machine and went back to the directory as it was when I made the last build, but no help. So, any answers?
Further Update:
I pulled all the code related to Google Firebase and Admob out of the code and removed the cocoaPods and Archived/Validated and now I get the error:
You must supply a CFBundleIdentifer for this request.
Which is the error message I was getting with my other App-ID that tracked that App-ID in iTunesConnect. This time it does not track the App-ID so it must be something in my project. Will report what I find.
UpDate:
I think Apple has been modifying their code for validation at the same time I was trying different things. At one point it told me I was using CFBundleSignature instead of CFBundlePackageType set to APP and I fixed this and got the code to validate. Understand I am copying complete projects and renaming everything to debug this problem, so this must have come from the original program. I ended up with a project that was renamed from my original but archived/validated but when I went to compile for Test I got errors that I debugged until I got lots of Mach-O link errors. I decided to complete the loop and go back to my original code and try using the new Bundle-ID which points to the new App-ID, the one that works, and add all the knowledge I have learned. But when I get it done I have an project that can test but does not validate. The only difference is this project has the old identifier which has the same name as the suffix of the App-ID that has a bug.
Am I missing something?
Final UpDate?
On a whim I renamed the Scheme file to be the same as my Suffix to the Bundle-ID and I got my original Project to Validate! I have worked on this for over a month and you might not believe the astonishment I feel in this.
Back to Unit Test!
I have come to the conclusion that the Identity of the App, the name at the far top of the right side Utilities window, has something to do with the way iTunes Connect validates the App. This is the name in the left hand column of the Organizer window. It is like it overrides the suffix of the Bundle-ID and since I can't use that Identifier because the associated App-ID is corrupt. Or the name of the Scheme.

Scintilla error message on unrelated code

First off, ScintillaNET v2.6 was installed as a control and I have been able to use it and compile, so I assume the installation is ok:
This app is targeting the full .NET 4.0 framework, not the client profile)
Environment variable
ScintillaNT folder content
The error message:
The code triggering the error:
The error happens on the second line when I "step-in" the load method. Looks completely unrelated, but highly reproducible: the error always happens at that exact step.
The problem turned out to be a corrupted XML file. I still don't know why the crash page was all about ScintillaNET, but it appears this had nothing to do with Scintilla.
I am not deleting this question because I could not find any indication that this could happen (errors in different parts of the code triggering a Scintilla error page) and it would have saved me a lot of time trying to track back the "scintilla" problem.

Failed to submit app to iTunes Store

I am having some problems when trying to submit my iPhone app to store using Xcode 5 that my app is always failed validation with below errors:
Apple's web service operation was not successful
Unable to authenticate the package: [My app id, ex: 123456789].itmsp
ERROR ITEMS-9000: "The bundle [Bundle ID, ex: com.myapp.mobile] at bundle path 'Payload/[My App Name].app' is not signed using an Apple submission certificate." at SoftwareAssets/SoftwareAsset (MZItmspSoftwareAssetPackage)
I am quite sure about settings (bundle id, certificate, profile, entitlement) because this is not first time I submit app to store, jut don't know why these issues come up, I have tried to search and found some related article but they don't help.
I have this issue for 1 week.
I just selected Standard Architectures in both Project and Target, and it worked for me.
I had the exact the same error, after hours of trying, adjusting all the parameters like the bundle ID or display name, etc. None of them worked.
Finally I got it work. Here is what I did.
I started all over by deleting all the records in keychain, certificates and provision profiles. And just added one certificate and profile for app distribution. There was only one record to make no confusion. And then boom, it uploaded successfully.
I guess my mistake was to submit multiple times of certificates or provision profiles earlier (although I deleted multiple entries but I did see something strange) because I thought the creation process was stuck so I refreshed the browser. Being patient in each steps will eventually saves more time! :) Good luck!
I got the same error today with xCode 7. I resubmitted with no changes and it went through. Probably Apple bug. I am letting you know that sometimes it is not an issue with our project/target settings.
As far as I can tell, this specific error is intermittent and not caused by anything in the app package. I think many of the answers here are people that saw this error, changed something, and saw the error go away, and assumed that their change made it go away.
I would suggest, if you get this error, just try again (worked for me). If it fails in this exact way a second time, and you have some theory about what will fix it, do that and try again. If that works, undo your fix and see if the failure comes back. In this way you will have proven that there was an identified root cause and a fix.
I don't know the cause, but I had the same exact issue crop up this week and just got things to work. I had checked the build, distribution certificate, provisioning profile. I went through all of the troubleshooting steps in Technical Note TN2250 -- no luck! However, I just got it to upload successfully. I happened to have an old Mac Mini that had Application Loader 2.5.1 on it. I created a zip file from the .app within the Payload folder of the .ipa, put this on a USB drive, and watched as it finally uploaded after trying about 50 times with both Xcode organizer and Application Loader v2.9.
Other people have reccomended reverting to a previous Application Loader version. Perhaps the web service endpoint uses a different (and properly working) certificate validation method for older AL versions.
I too have had the same problem and after many hours I managed to solve.
I finally fixed the problem. You needed to download the "Apple Root Certificate Authority" (http://www.apple.com/certificateauthority/) and put it in your login keychain & system, I also put your iPhone disitrbution certified in your system and set all keychian trust values ​​for all certificates to "system default". Finally went through!
For me the problem was in selecting the wrong iOS distribution code signing identity, where I was using a different team as the provisioning profile.
Probably make sure your Code Signing Identity is set to automatic, which will probably fix this issue.
In XCode 6.3, You have connect actual device and selected in the XCode.
I didn't see this listed on here, but I received this issue and realized that I already had a build for this specific Version # waiting for review on iTunes Connect. I rejected the build in ITC and then tried uploading the build again and it uploaded correctly after that. Just in case this could possibly help anyone else out there with this issue!
