Sandboxing: Problem submitting to MAS with a helper application

Hi, I have reworked an existing application to support sandboxing. Because it can be started at login, I've added a helper application bundle.
This bundle application is copied to Contents/Library/LoginItems in a copy build phase of the main application.
Both applications get signed with the same Developer Certificate. I have created two App-IDs in the developer portal and two provisioning profiles one for the application and one for the helper application.
All works fine on my development machine using the development Certificate and the development profiles.
When I want to submit to the MAS I get the following error message:
"Invalid Provisioning Profile. The provisioning profile included in the bundle ... is invalid. For more information, visit the Mac OS Developer Portal. "
Both profiles are valid (I rechecked). But the console showed this warning:
XCode: *** Warning: More than one file found named: embedded.provisionprofile
I tried to figure this out for almost 2 days now – trying any hint on the web, not signing the helper app, recreating all certificates/provisioningprofiles, etc.
Maybe someone has figured this out, and help me with this issue. It would really save my day (week).
Big thanks for any tips!

Hi Galamaga,
this was really painful for me, I ended up doing the build process manually and signing it with codesign.
I'm sure there must be a simpler way with the xcode build system.
If you find a better way, please post here. I want to simplify the buildprocess again.

  • IBooks "Couldn't communicate with a helper application"

    Hi,
    I just did a clean install of Mavericks on my iMac and am trying to use iBooks. 
    I was able to do an initial open of the application.  However, once I tried to import any PDFs and EPUBS, iBooks quit and I've haven't been able to restart the program.  Every time I relaunch the application, it shutsdown and then I get a message that says, "Couldn't communicate with a helper application".
    I've searched the forums and found a few things but all the solutions suggested talk about doing some terminal commands to reset some ACL and permissions.  I tried these suggestions to no avail.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    I tried my luck and it actually got my iBooks working again.
    When you add a PDF, it starts a process in background called "com.apple.BKAgentService". I think that this process scans your PDF, gathers some data interesting to iBooks and puts it into a local database. It is wrong for this process to run in the background because it uses lots of resources and really affects other applications (i.e. its hard to type here because my mac lags behind me typing), and iBooks do not show any signs of background activity. Because you do not get an immediate confirmation that some actions are taking place, you try to import those files again.. and again. And after some time you decide to kill iBooks app, because it became unresponsive. And this is how you break local database files
    I got it working for me. I am not responsible if these actions break something for you, do it at your own risk. After deleting those files my library was still intact, it only had to be rebuilt (i.e. cover images showed up only after a few seconds when iBooks finally started).
    What I did to fix this is deleting of these broken files:
    1) kill/close iBooks app, if it's still open and broken
    2) delete these folders:
    To be specific, these folders are:
    /Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/Containers/com.apple.iBooksX/Data/Library/Caches/co m.apple.ibooks
    /Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/Containers/com.apple.iBooksX/Data/Library/Caches/co m.apple.iBooksX
    3) start iBooks

    Are you getting that message window after clicking on the "+" button to access your Contacts?
    That's what happens to me.  I know of now way to fix it. 
    My workaround is to create a new message in Messages and drag the photo from the iPhoto window into the message section of a new message and use the "+" button there to get the address to use

  • Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how

    Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how to resolve it. This is my problem: 
    Have downloaded for example: Queen – Bohemium Rhapsody from a compilation album as well as a few complete Queen Album CDs into the iTunes library and then put them into playlists,
    When I go onto my phone and select Queen on the MUSIC app using Songs tab at the bottom of the screen it will display all Queen songs and their resective Alum pics, that is all those not in a complilation album, .
    If I know the song title I can select the songs tab and find the song that way,
    I’ve tried fiddling with the settings in the iTunes app by going to ‘get info’ tab and trying to sort the problem out that way but am not having much luck.What I want the phone to do is show, for example all Queens songs including those in compilation albums. Can this be done, would be grateful for any ideas on how it can be done, that is if ic can be done, any ideas
    Thanks for your help

    Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

  • Since upgrading to Firefox 8.0.1, it is hanging when I try to open it. Deleting profiles etc. doesn't help. I suspect the problem has to do with caching or history, since when I first quit after upgrading I had to force-quit as it was hanging.

    '''bold text'''MacOS 10.5.8 is my operating system.
    There is no actual crash, thus no crash ID--it just hangs forever and eventually I force-quit.
    Restarting the computer hasn't helped
    Downgrading to previous versions didn't help.
    Deleting profiles and preferences doesn't seem to make any difference.
    Apparently clean re-installs hasn't helped.
    If option-opening is really safe mode on a Mac, then that isn't helping, either. It's the same hanging.
    No problems are being noted with any other software.
    I'm totally stumped--what else can I take off for a cleaner re-install?

    Firefox hangs the same way in safe mode.
    There is no such thing as a Firefox program folder on a Mac, nor is there an "uninstall" to do, so these directions are not relevant to a Mac user.
    The problem remains.

    In my iPad 2 with IO6 today I can not send emails from my gmail account, they go to the outbox directly...why? How can i solve this problem? ..I restarted the IPad but the problem was not solved. Please help.

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
    4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
    Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue.  Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
    Try:
    Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
    Make separate backups of critical data:
    Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
    Reset syncing on your Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    Reply back if that does not resolve your issue.
    Hope that helps.

  • Adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem

    Hi,
      I got this message after importing about ten or so H.264 files that I encoded from Adobe media encoder.  "adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem."
    The files we're shot with HD cameras.  Edited in Premiere Pro CS3.  I installed the update 3.0.1 with still the same error.
    I also tried a brand new project and after about ten or so files being imported into a timeline, the system crash.  I tried this twice....
        Thanks in Advance

    Hi Hunt,
           Here is the skinny.  A window base PC.  footage shot with HD sony HD cameras,  Project imported to Premiere CS3.  Once completed sent file to Adobe media encoder and render them as H.264 widescreen high Quality.  Imported them to Adobe Encore CS3.  After about ten files or so.  I got the error message.  Did all the basic trouble shoot like restarting the computer, got latest patch.  Even build a new test project with the same problem.
        Something else I read in the forums, is the encore will transcoded the project to Mpeg 2 anyway, after looking at my project I realized those few files were indeed untranscoded.  So it will be a double compression and I dont want that.  So, my new question is, what is H.264 good for ?????????? I was research that Mpeg 2 is a faster render but H.264 is a slower render but better quality.....
       what do you think ????

  • Problem with Adobe Help in Creative Cloud

    I'm using Mac OSX 10.9 but this problem has been here before that.
    My Adobe Help application says "No Adobe Products are currently installed." which is completely wrong. If I look at the "Local Content tab there is nothing displayed. I did have the "Display Local Help Content only" set to "yes, because it annoyed me to be taken to SLOW website whenever I clicked help. But now I have no other options and it seems to have mucked uo the help system altogether. I have changed it to "No" now so that it will display online content, but the real problem is that it does not recognise ANY of the installed CC applications.
    Any clues as to what the problem is or how I can make Adobe Help recognise my installed applications? Adobe Help has SUCKED BADLY for local help content for a long now.

    i too have issues with the help the tech sopport for Adobe. When i last tried to call i was told it would be a hour wait. Using the online chat was useless as well. Then to top things off my code for the ID theft monitering servies is not valid. Now i have to call and deal with that, there is another half a day wasted. I think its time to hack the software, YES adobe i have the .DLL files needed to have creative cloud or windows 7. Unless i get better help im going to cancle my subscription and just intall the hacks so the software still works. who needs support they are useless anyway.

  • N95 problem with ''Help'' application

    Dear all,
    I've update recently my N95 with new software release 20.0.015, but the problem with help application is not resolved...The problem is the following: when I try to open HELP I receive the error message MEMORY FULL, but my free RAM is 23/24 MB and the free memory on the device is 112 MB. Can you help me to resolve this problem?
    Thanks

    I have the same problem - no in any applications or using the Help application itself.
    Of possible interest ?>: is a 'help folder' I have with a name displayed in the Help application as 4x boxes.
    Using: -Menu -Tools -Utilities -Help
    ...I have an odd looking file listed at the end (after 'ZipManager' & before '3-D ringing tones'). The name is displaying as 4 x boxes - presumably non display characters ?>
    Is this folder on all N95s ? (i.e even those with a working Help) ?
    Anyone know how/where to locate this folder ?
    HammY

    I can't delete my bt emails or move them to folders, other emails from tiscali no problem with, anyone help please

    I did that and it is currently whirring away, had over 16000 emails as everything got imported when I set emails up (only had this computer 5 days). So will see what happens when it stops doing whatever it is doing. Sorry if I appear stupid but first Mac I have owned so everything a bit new. Have managed to get most things working correctly just can't sort this BT email problem out. Will report back later!

  • Problems with the help menu.

    Hi. I'm a new iMac user and have had problems using the help menu on my computer. Every time I click on help and search a topic I get a blank untitled window. Nothing ever opens up in the window and then the spinning beach ball comes up. It is only in the blank window and I am still able to use the computer normally. I am unable to close or force quit the program and have to restart to get rid of it. I have called tech support and spent over an hour on the phone with no help and ended up reinstalling the operating system. Still having the same problem. Anyone have some advice or have had a similar problem?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Try reindexing the hard drive via Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight.
    Drag the hard drive into the Privacy section, and the select it in that section, and select the minus sign in the bottom left corner below the field holding the drive.
    Click then on Spotlight every half hour to wait until the Indexing status no longer shows up.
    If Help still doesn't come up entirely, try clicking on the clear jewel in the upper right corner of the Help menu. It may reveal the search field. If it doesn't, quit from the Help Viewer application menu, and then go to com.apple.helpviewer.plist and delete it. Help should then load normally.
    If it still doesn't, try repairing permissions with Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility.
    In the end, if that still doesn't work, let us know, and we might suggest something else.
