For those having Watch App upload issues, here is a simplified approach.
The existing Application Loader (part of Xcode) CANNOT be used to submit Apps with Watch App extensions/components. It will load just fine that way, but you will get invalid binary as a result. You have to use the Archive features of Xcode to submit watch apps.
The simple steps follow:
1. Build your app for distribution.
2. Use Project menu in Xcode and Archive. (this step takes a while)
3. Open the Organizer in Xcode
4. Select the app from the left and the archive just created
5. Press “Submit to App Store…”
The last step can take a while. There is also a Validate button that can be used before step 5 to check for obvious problems before submitting. If all goes well, you are done.
The most common error you may receive in step 5 is:
"The IPA is invalid It does not include a Payload directory."
This is usually due to incorrect settings in your main app pList file. Be sure both of the following fields are present and set:
- LSRequiresIPhoneOS: YES (Boolean)
- CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion: 6.0 (String)
