Binary file names cannot contain a space

If you try to submit an app with a blank space in the app name, you may run into this error at the validation phase: "Binary file names cannot contain a space"

To fix this, follow the steps below:

Step 1) Right click on the app that you just "Build and Archive" on. Select Show in Finder.


Step 2) Proceed to remove the blank name out of the .app file and .dSYM file. Double click ArchiveInfo.plist to edit it in Property List Editor.


Step 3) Update the entries in ArchiveInfo.plist by removing the blank space from the XCApplicationName and XCApplicationFilename and save the file.

Resubmit the app and it should go through without a hitch. Hopefully this will be fixed in future version of Xcode.
