Codeless Academy - Issue submitting .ipa file to iTunes

I have uploaded my .zip file to PhoneGap, converted into a .ipa file. It ran well on my initial test when installed on the device

Once I uploaded my ipa file through Apple’s Application Loader (v3), It didn’t show up on iTunes Connect’s Build section. It’s been almost 48 hours since I uploaded the file.

I also received this email, although @natedogg said not to worry about it - This is to show that there is some form of confirmation that Apple has received the submission.

Can anyone advise on how to work around this issue?

Hey @irvinacosta27,

Just sent you an email as well, but the issue is that Apple now requires usage descriptions for camera access, etc.

You’ll just need to paste an extra couple of lines of code into your config.xml file:

<gap:config-file platform="ios" parent="NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription" overwrite="true">
    <string>We are using the Photo Library for something..</string>
  </gap:config-file>

Let me know if you run into any issues implementing it!

Hi Nate,

I really appreciate your reply. Seems to have solved the issue! It finally showed up on iTunes Connect. Now I hope Apple actually approves the app.

Thanks for the help!
