Framework CFBundleIdentifier Collision

Question

I've made a custom SDK using Cocoa Touch Framework (followed these instructions to make it https://kodmunki.wordpress.com/2015/03/04/cocoa-touch-frameworks-for-ios8-remix/) .

One app, that is using this SDK is already uploaded to app store and is reviewed by apple and all is well. Now I'm trying to submit second app to App store. All is well on the xCode, it shows that upload was completed successfully, but few minutes after uploading I get a letter that says:

CFBundleIdentifier Collision - The Info.plist CFBundleIdentifier value 'com.company.MySDK' of 'myApp.app/Frameworks/MySDK.framework' is already in use by another application.

I don’t understand why apple even checks the app framework's bundleidentifier. Looks like there are lot of similar issues with using different bundles, but I haven not found a fix that would work for this issue.

Would be really thankful for help, thanks!

Answer 1

For me it was caused by framework's .plist keyword CFBundlePackageType that was using the default value APPL but had to be changed to FMWK (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/CoreFoundationKeys.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001431-111321).

if you are using Nested frameworks use "Do Not Embed" in the general tab-> framework and libraries for example: your project uses framework A and

and framework A uses frameworks B, C, ... Do not Embed these frameworks
