Unable to upload tvOS apps about pilot

[KrauseFx]

I think sigh doesn't work with tvOS apps yet. I don't have a developer TVKit myself, so I can't really work on it.

That makes sense. It turns out I can't upload them from Organizer either, unless I build them in Xcode. I'll just be patient then. Thank you for great tools!

I got the same error as well. I think it has to do with the fact that tvOS apps and iOS apps, if you want to use universal purchase, have the same bundle id.

Also, as well as @hiltonc the archive that gym created in the Xcode Organizer submitted fine from the organizer, so it must have to do how the ipa is sent to the transporter.

The crash ID I got from Fastlane is b020ee6ba89a71d4b83937d186027b13.

Hit the same error (d6cf8547259871d1501f88f9a809b1a5). As I can submit app with organizer, I think its not sigh problem?

Indeed, we cannot upload an IPA to ITC using pilot (or any similar tool, even altool fails). Only Application Loader worked. The error here is :

ERROR ITMS-90545: "Invalid Provisioning Profile. This provisioning profile is not compatible with iOS apps."

But, I investigated, and found that the default package sent from altool looks like that :

<package version="software5.3" xmlns="http://apple.com/itunes/importer">
    <software_assets apple_id="#APPLE_APP_ID#"
        bundle_short_version_string="0.1"
        bundle_version="151201105028"
        bundle_identifier="#BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER#"
        app_platform="ios">
        <asset type="bundle">
            <data_file>
                <file_name>#IPA_NAME#</file_name>
                <checksum type="md5">a97130dc797045444e1d422255611afb</checksum>
                <size>21210100</size>
            </data_file>
        </asset>
    </software_assets>
</package>

(I removed app specific data).

Here note app_platform="ios". This is where is the magic. I made my own itmsp package with appletvos instead of ios parameter, and managed to upload the IPA !

Since I have nearly zero knowledge about how pilot works, do you have any idea how we could add a parameter, or detect the target, to have this appletvos set in the sent XML ?

EDIT : The only things needed to successfully upload a tvOS build are packageVersion at 5.3 and app_platform with appletvos. No need for the bundle(s) stuff.
