I totally fail to get altool to validate my .ipa. This is the command and error: xcrun altool --validate-app -f ios/Afuera.ipa -type ios -u MY_ACCOUNT -p @keychain:APP-PWD 2024-01-06 16:42:02.156 *** Error: Validation failed for 'ios/Afuera.ipa'. 2024-01-06 16:42:02.157 *** Error: Could not find the main bundle or the Info.plist is missing a CFBundleIdentifier in ‘ios/Afuera.ipa’.

(With a dev provisioning profile in that case, of course). At some point I had things “working” in the sense that the altool reported on errors that were real. Like not finding matching bundle id on my developer account, and me using the wrong provisioning profile. Then I recreated the bundle from scratch, with the exact same structure and content, and altool stopped caring about such things and only about this non-sensical thing about not finding the bundle id in the IPA. Things I have tried: Using another user account on my Mac to validate (same error) Restarting my computer (yes, I'm desperate) (same error) Now I am totally out of ideas. Anyone else that can see what I am doing wrong, or have ideas what I can try? Thanks in advance! 🙏♥️
