Invalid Binary (iTunesConnect) - a sealed resource is missing or invalid

Hi there,
I'm trying to figure out the issue we're having with one of our app store submissions; the submission goes up fine (successfully uploads from Application Loader) - but is then rejected after ("Recieved Upload") in iTunesConnect with the error "Invalid Binary"; we then get an email with:
Invalid Signature - the main app bundle <appname> at path <appname>.app is signed but the signature is invalid. The following error(s) were reported from codesign:
a sealed resource is missing or invalid In architecture: i386
As far as we can tell, the signature looks to be correctly applied; we're using:
codesign -vvv -f -s '3rd Party Mac Developer Application: <Our Company>' --entitlements "<appname>.entitlements" <appname>.app
To sign the bundle, and
productbuild --component "<appname>.app" "/Applications" --sign "3rd Party Mac Developer Installer: <Our Company>" <appname>package.pkg
Does anyone have any clues on how and where to start debugging this issue? Already spent 12 hours on the problem - would rather not waste another 12.
Thanks!

So, as a follow up to this - days of annoyance later. Here's how I got it fixed; hopefully this will be of use to someone else who encounters this. Unity3D was adding a couple of hidden files to the directory when building - I suspect this is because we're building the Mac binaries under Windows, but regardless of the cause; it has placed a couple of files named, e.g. '._unity default resources' inside the .app. Now; –
It appears codesign ignores those when verifying, but not when signing. packagebuild ignores them when building. So; the app verifies fine, and the package builds fine -- but if you install the package, then try verify where you just installed to, you'll get the "a sealed resource is missing or invalid" which iTunesConnect rejects the binary with. Add a --verbose and it'll point you to what files are misbehaving.
Now to go light people on fire...

Error: "failed to load book because the requested resource is missing"

I book a book via the iPad. The book appeared in my library no problem with the "new" tag and stuff, but when I tap it to read I get an error "failed to load book because the requested resource is missing." Any ideas? I'm on the road, so I haven't synced or backed up or anything..
I've also verified that I have a good connection, etc. I'm able to hit the "store" button and browse the store no prob, as well as web, etc.
Any thoughts?

I believe I may have the answer to these many concerns.
When a book is over 20 or so megs, iBook will sometimes make an attempt to download on the iPad (when it should not). This causes problems. Perhaps the one you are experiencing. Therefore you have to wait until you are on a wifi connection before purchasing dictionary-like books. But if you've already made the mistake of downloading, theres no guarantee wifi will correct this.
What worked for me (like others have already mentioned) is that if you have an iphone or touch you can download it from there, sync with your computer and sync your iPad later. The book(s) will transfer just fine as long as you have this enabled on your devices.
Initially this didn't work for me because in my frustration with a prior issue I took the liberty to create another iTunes account. Therefore iPad purchases were not visible on my phone. So be sure to have the same accounts activated on your devices and iTunes.
Yet even further diagnostics may need to be explored as I'm still prompted to provide my password every time i open iBooks (as if the download is still pending). Kinda afraid to revert to factory settings over a small issue. In the coming update Apple should fix these problems altogether. Hope this helps!

I have a book in my library but when I went open to continue to read "failed to load book because the requests resource is missing"? Where is it.

Swipe to the right from your home screen and do a search. See if the app shows up. If it does - tap on it just to make sure that it works.
You can swipe from screen to screen to look for it in order to find the icon. It may have ended up on a far off screen or in a folder somewhere on the iPad.

If you can't open a particular ibook then try deleting it from the bookshelf via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf, and (assuming that it's still in your country's store) redownload it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app (or if you have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes library sync it back from there).

My iBooks were fine yesterday,today unable to read, message comes up; failure to load book because requested resource is missing". What do they want?

My iBooks were fine yesterday, today unable to get into book, message comes up, "failure to load book because requested resource missing"
It doesn't tell me what resource is missing, & why could I read this 12 hours ago fine.

I've got a solution, it's not so perfect, but i bet someone would come out with a better one based on mine.
Solution:
Step 1: close iBooks app and delete all existing book data
Since I have recently lost all files in my ibooks library due to something wrong with Time Machine backup, I could delete all my book data without anything to worry about.
I deleted all files in:
/Users/[usename]/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBoo ks
and the iBook configuration files (well, the whole folder):
/Users/zlw/Library/Containers/com.apple.iBooksX
It doesn't matter if you have deleted the whole iBooksX folder, what you would lose at most is the bookmark data, etc.
deleting all the files inside the iBooks folder of BKAgentService will enable you to redownload the file that you want correctly.
Step 2:
reopen iBooks and you will be able to download the book that you want.
Possible improvement:
there is a Books.plist file in the iBooks folder of BKAgentService, it might be possible to modify the plist and and the folders so that it's not necessary to delete them all.

To load book because the requested resource is missing." Thanks

I just purchased my firt e-book from itunes, but when I went to open it up, the book wouldn't open...it says "failed to load book because the requested resource is missing." Help and Thanks!

I have tried deleting and redownloading a few times and still won't work. At one point, I had two icons for the same book, both acting in the same manner. This is just one of many issues I am having with iPad mini. Do you have another suggestion for fixing this?

TS1702 Previously purchased book on iBooks, previously read. Still visible on iBooks on the iPad. When I attempt to open the book now, I get the message: "Failed to load book because the requested resource is missing." Help. Larry

On iBooks app on iPad: When trying to open a previously purchased and read book, I get the message "Failed to load book because the requested resource is missing." How can I open the book again? Larry107

Quit the iBooks app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logou appears and let go of the button.
Or try deleting the book and download it again. You can download it again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID.
If that doesn't work either, sometimes deleting the iBooks app and reinstalling it may work. But art with the first two suggestions.

HT3951 "Failed to load book because the requested resource is missing"

I get "Failed to load book because the requested resource is missing" after I purchased an ibook, downloaded it, and tried to open it, all done on my iphone.
Has anyone experienced this problem? How was it resolved?

In fact, iBooks is so slow and unresponsive on a 3G that I don't understand why Apple released it for that device. Books take up to 15 seconds to open. I did find a way to stop the "resource is missing" warning (written in Microsoft-ese, worryingly): I simply tried to open every other book until successful, then went back and opened the one that did not open in the first place. The warning seems related to bookmark sync, but I am only guessing about that.
iOS 4 clearly needs a bug fix in many areas: iBooks, Mail retrieval (which on some devices cycles forever), iTunes backup / restore (where many apps and preferences don't make it back into the phone), general speed and usability on the 3G, whose processor / RAM just can't handle the new software.

Ipad failed to load book because the requested resource is missing

ipad failed to load book because the requested resource is missing ? any ideas what to do ?

This happened to me also when I was away from home. To fix it you have to delete the iBooks app, turn off your iPad. When you are back home are at your original source where you downloaded iTunes (mine was my home computer) redownload iBooks on your iPad. It will come back up with all your purchases, go to the book you want to read, tap it, and it will download on your iPad. The key is you have to be back where you originally downloaded your iTunes. Hope this works for you.
