Mail app won't launch: "No Info.plist file in application bundle..."

Hi -
I'm running 10.6.8 on an Intel iMac and haven't used Mail in a long time. I tried to start it today and it won't launch. I opened the Package Contents for the app from the Finder, and double clicked the Mail executable. It launched in a Terminal window and gave the following error message:
Last login: Thu May 24 12:17:01 on ttys000
/Applications/Mail.app/Contents/Mail ; exit;
imac:~ Bill$ /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/Mail ; exit;
2012-05-24 12:37:01.769 Mail[26585:903] No Info.plist file in application bundle or no NSPrincipalClass in the Info.plist file, exiting
logout
I looked and there is a file called Info.plist in the folder and it even has the string NSPrincipalClass in it. Beyond that, I am clueless!
Any help much appreciated!

If you are referring to the one in the application package, then you need to reinstall OS X to get it back:
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Alternatively, see:

IMovie's Info.plist file with a plist editor

Error: Can't get plugin bundle info at file://localhost/Applications/iBooks%20Author.app/Contents/Library/QuickLook/iB ooksAuthorQL.qlgenerator/

I have been noticing a dialog box flashing on the screen periodically. Based on the sys logs, this appears to be the error associated with it.
Originally, when I first started trying to figure it out, there were three sources, Finder, quicklookd, and SystemUIServer. After troubleshooting a few rounds, the only one persisting in the logs is for quicklookd. I can't seem to figure out how to get rid of this error.
Has anyone encountered this and know a fix?
Thanks.

Basics, really. Verified, repaired disk permissions and cleared related preferences and scripts from the library folder.
That's basically it, besides searching for solutions online. The only board this came up on, was for a Plex, but there was no reply to that inquiry, and a different app is being referred to. I uninstalled Plex as well, but it did nothing.

Iphoto won't launch after 10.6.8 update, info.plist lost

After I updated, iPhoto would seem to start--it was in the menu bar, but most commands were greyed out and no library was visible or available. I remembered it was a good idea to trash preferences, so I trashed the Info.plist file. I also moved com.apple.iphoto.plist or the like. Then iPhoto's icon turned into a generic app icon and I can't even get the menu bar to become iPhoto. I found this:
iPhoto[1303]: No Info.plist file in application bundle or no NSPrincipalClass in the Info.plist file, exiting
com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[97] ([0x0-0xcb0cb].com.apple.iPhoto[1303]): Exited with exit code: 1
I may have lost the Info.plist forever in my (ironic) efforts to get iPhoto to work again!
Help?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

How to access info.plist from generate .ipa file through actionscript?

Hi All,
Is there any way to access Info.plist from the .IPA generated(I created IPA file from .SWF using ADT command).
I am trying
var prefsFile:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory;
prefsFile = prefsFile.resolvePath("/Applications/Info.plist");
textId.text += prefsFile.exists + " ";
I am getting result as false.
Actually I need to get all the values of Info.plist information in string format from the generated .IPA.

Hi Collin,
The purpose is to get all the information from Info.plist from actionscript. I need to access all the information from Info.plist: like CFBundleVersion , CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion which are all 'Reserved iOS InfoAdditions settings'(which are all auto generated). If I unzip the .IPA I can see Info.plist file with all these information. So I need to access all the values of Info.plist in dictionary format. Hence I am trying the access Info.plist by using ‘File.applicationStorageDirectory', but I am not able to get the file path.

How can I convert the download.m4a and Info.plist into the right audio file

The topic is actually the problem that I have.
I have bought music and it was downloaded successful (all of it) but iTunes had a strange freeze while converting the files into the right audio file. Some files were converted but after the freeze no more.
I'm now left with these .tmp folders in the downloads folder which have the download.m4a and Info.plist files.
My iTunes is able to play these download.m4a files, but they show no information and covers and this is really annoying. I could write and change it all by myself, but than I would still miss some information (and covers).
Is there any way for me to convert or combine these files?
Note: I'm not able to restart any downloads, because they were successful.

Hello ed2345,
Thanks for the help, but this is not the problem.
It's hard to describe the problem, but I'll try it again, this time with pictures.
I was left with the following folders in the iTunes Downloads folder.
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb3
These TMP Folders have a download.m4a and a Info.plist file.
After moving the audio files in iTunes a bit I get this.
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb2
As you can see no other Information for the download.m4a than the length.
That's how the .m4p file looks like
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb1
And this is how the same .m4a file currently looks
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb0
Like I said, I could edit all these download.m4a files by myself but that would leave some information out.
Note: Sorry, I hope the links do not spam you with annoying ads. I don't get any but I was told that there can be some annoying one.

When you look for the backup it could be possible that its saved as loaderbackup instead of just backup. What version of the desktop software do you have?

Edit Info.plist Within a Published .ipa File to Enable iOS Newsstand Support?

I'm working on developing a magazine-style app using Flash CS5. I'd like to enable iOS Newsstand support for the exported .ipa file. Anyone have any experience with this? I believe that I'd need to edit the app's info.plist file within the exported .ipa bundle ...
Experiences / thoughts?
Ted

Hi Ted:
I have not implemented this yet. But as I can read on http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/StoreKit/Reference/NewsstandKit_Fram ework/_index.html, editing info.plist might take your app to newsstand but to take advantage of any NewsStand feature you will also need to write some Native Extension also that provides access to NKLibrary , NKIssue NKAssetDownload.
I think http://www.viggiosoft.com/blog/blog/2011/10/17/ios-newsstand-tutorial/ this will help you do some newsstand stuff in native code.
If you ever use newsstand, I would love to see your app, please share your iTunes link.
best of luck,
thanks,
Saumitra

How do I renew the integrity of a possibly corrupted info.plist?

When I try to install Messenger 6.0.3, I get the following error message:
"The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in
Info.plist could not be read or written. (Error code -36)."
How do I renew the integrity of the info.plist file (ideally without screwing everything else up)? Or is something else at work here?

I don't know. It might help if you told me what the message was, and what was the "failing" message you mentioned earlier?
How is it you are now able to install Messenger? Did you repair the disk? Did you download a new copy?
One thing you can do is to open the Console application, from your Utilities folder, and have console.log in one window and system.log in another. Use the "broom" to clear both windows, then try to start a chat session. When it quits, there will be a message in one or both of the console windows.
Copy and paste what you get from these windows (and say which is which). I need to see the exact message to take this further.

Is there anyway to change Info.plist settings and use Flash Builder 4.6 to package the iOS app?

Hi there,
I've tried to package my app with the latest Xcode 4.5 (version 19 Sep 2012) iOS 6 SDK, Flash Builder 4.6, Flex SDK 4.6 with Air 3.5 Beta overlay.
and unzip the .ipa file and i found the following automated settings on the Info.plist file was wrong:
<key>DTPlatformVersion</key>
        <string>5.1</string>
        <key>DTSDKBuild</key>
        <string>9B176</string>
        <key>DTSDKName</key>
        <string>iphoneos5.1</string>
According to the Adobe specs, these settinsg are unchangeble, is there anyway to change these values to produce .ipa file that with iOS 6.0 settings with Flash Builder 4.6?
I believe this cause the following appstore submission issue with the iPhone 5 4-inch display splash screen image [email protected]:
Invalid Launch Image - You app contains a launch image with a size modifier that is only supported for apps built with the iOS 6.0 SDK or later.
Many thanks,
A

Not everyone here was involved in the conversations that led up to this file, so here are some extra clues:
In your AIR3.5 folder (or whatever you named the folder) is a lib folder. Inside that is the current adt.jar file. Rename that in case you have to go back to it, and drag the supplied adt.jar file into the lib folder. Now publish your app.
You won't even need to quit Flash or Flash Builder.
Once you have the new IPA, go through the usual upload steps to the App Store, using Application Loader, and the file should process ok in iTunes Connect. Note, you will be asked to provide iPhone 5 screenshots.

Corrupted plist files

What would cause some plist files to get corrupted? I had to replace the Info.plist file for the "Software Update" CoreService from another machine. The Property Editor application could not open the file. "Sofware Update" would close immediately after being launched.
The same thing happened to System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices/Frameworks ...
ColorSync.Framework/A/Resources/Info.plist. which cause MS Word and Adobe Photoshop to fail to open.
G4 iBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

"What would cause some plist files to get corrupted?"
There is a vast array of things that can cause corruption in a plist file or your system for that matter. Brownouts, power spikes, improper shutdowns, hard drive beginning to fail, disk directory corruption, poorly written installers, the computer gods are mad at you, and more.
The best way to try and eliminate issues that can lead to corruption is to do some basic maintenance on your computer now and then. Take a look here for some great advice on maintenance:

Info.plist & DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

Hello everyone,
I am preparing for deployment an application. This uses a series of dylibs which are opened by the application using dlopen. The dylibs are within the application's bundle (specifically, inside Contents/libs).
I have successfully run the application by setting the env variable DYLDLIBRARYPATH to /Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/libs, achieving this either by terminal or by the means of /etc/launchd.conf. I am not trying to modify the info.plist file to avoid any external file to the bundle.
Here's the file content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>LSEnvironment</key>
<dict>
<key>DYLDLIBRARYPATH</key>
<string>/Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/libs</string>
</dict>
<key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key>
<string>English</string>
<key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
<string>BareBones</string>
<key>CFBundleIconFile</key>
<string>App.icns</string>
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.yourcompany.MyApp</string>
<key>CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion</key>
<string>6.0</string>
<key>CFBundleName</key>
<string>BareBones</string>
<key>CFBundlePackageType</key>
<string>APPL</string>
<key>CFBundleSignature</key>
<string>????</string>
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>1.0</string>
<key>CSResourcesFileMapped</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
However this does not work. I have tried rebooting the system but with no luck.
Could anyone shed some light on this?
Moreover, will this work for Mac OS X 10.3 - 10.6?
Thanks for the assistance,
Best Regards,
Joe

I'm not quite sure what is going wrong, my best guess is that your bundle is not packaged correctly or you have removed some SDK files from the application when you used the terminal. What OS are you currently using and have you tried building a sample project to make sure it isn't affecting other builds?
