XCode 16.3, AppStoreConnect, Bundle is Invalid issue.

Hello All,

I am hoping someone has a solution we are encountering.

We recently upgraded to XCode 16.3 this week, and were putting together the next test build to push to TestFlight.

However, the AppStore is rejecting the app with the following message.

ITMS-90048: This bundle is invalid - Your archive contains paths that are not allowed: [._Symbols]

We have never had this before and the problem is, there is no path named "_Symbols" in our IPA.

Doing some searching online I have seen people report the same problem when build using Flutter or React, but we are using plain vanilla Swift and Native iOS.

We also have not added anything significantly new to our project since our last release a couple weeks ago.

Any suggestion on how to fix this would be greatly apprecaited.

Sincerely,

Stan R. - CaringBridge

Please file a Feedback report with the app archive reproducing your issue, then post the Feedback number here.

Confirm that the archive contains the app matching the version and build reproducing your issue before attaching it to your report. You can select and export your app archive from the Archives organizer in Xcode. For more information, see Archives organizer.

Just to follow up.

I have checked and double checked the IPA file, and there is no path in that begins with [._Symbols].

So I really do not understand where this issue is coming from or how to fix it?

Any help would really be apprecaited.
