Invalid Bundle. iPad Multitasking support requires launch story board in bundle

I'm getting this error when trying to activate testflight external beta testing with a universal app submitted with Xcode 7 GM.


The app in question doesn't use launch storyboards as the UI is significantly different between the iPhone/iPad versions (and multiple launch story boards are not supported). The app does have all the launch images defined for both iPhone and iPad.


Is this an itunes connect bug or is there a way to dismiss this error and distribute the app for external testing?


Thanks

I get the same error message when uploading to App Store now. This appears to be unrelated to anything I did in the app so its definitely due to a change in iTunes Connect, hopefully just a temporary bug that started about 10 hours ago.

Looks like this is related to launching an app when using split-screen multitasking in iOS9. I had this problem and resolved it by checking 'Requires full screen' in the General section of my app's target settings. See this Stackoverflow answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32557783/invalid-bundle-error

As jwilkin states you can fix these errors by checking 'Requires full screen' in the General Options menu in Xcode. I have a full blog post with screenshots it is targeted at Ionic users, but a lot of the erros and their fixes are general purpose for all developers using iOS 9 http://blog.tylerbuchea.com/ios9-and-ionic-build-warnings/

Thank you!

Using Xcode 14.0.1 (and likely with earlier versions), if you assign the 'Launch Screen File' via the target General tab, then the storyboard selected is assigned to parameter 'Launch screen interface file base name' in the Info.plist file with extension '.storyboard'. If you remove the extension from the plist file, then this error goes away, and the launch screen still works. This method also allows iPad multitasking which is prevented when the 'Requires full screen' option is selected, as suggested above.
