for my xamarin forms ios project I am getting an error when uploading an ipa file via the application uploader to apple.
missing required icon file ipad of exactly 167x167 for ipad pro.
The weird thing is I have actually included this file already in the media.xcassets.
any idea how to fix this?
So here is what I have found regarding this:
First, I would check that all the information found in this article is done (it talks about making sure your .csproj file has the needed references to the files):
https://alexdunn.org/2020/01/06/xamarin-tip-fixing-missing-ios-app-icons/
Second, I would check for miss-match of the case of letters in the file name between the json file in the Assets.xcassets/AppIcons.appiconset folder and your ios csproj file. For example ipad176.png is not the same as iPad176.png. This article explains it well.
https://blog.mzikmund.com/2020/05/the-mystery-of-the-missing-ios-app-icon/
Finally, neither of these resolved my problem. For me it seemed that one of the entries in my json file had something weird about it (event though visually it looked fine). I noticed that every icon entry in the json file AFTER the one that had something weird about it, showed as missing when I attempt to publish the archive. For me the easiest way to find the offending entry was to look for the first (i.e. earliest in the json list) icon entry that generated a missing icon error message when I published. Then, I unloaded my iOS project, opened the .csproj file for the iOS project in Visual Studio, and found the entry for that first app icon. I then copied the file name from the .csproj file and replace the file name in the json with the copied name, saved the json file and magically, I could publish my archive to the App Store.

I"m trying to Create a sample data directory, using Android Studio, by clicking on app in the project view and then right mouse click to find the menu item New > Sample Data Directory.
It is not working.
Creating the directory via android studio doesn't always work. You may need to create the directory manually in your directory structure (at /app/sampledata/) without using Android Studio. Once you create it (e.g., via Windows Explorer) it should show up in Android Studio. See the the following answer for more information about sample data in general: How to put new placeholder resources into Android Studio project ("tools:sample" resources)?
"Unlike resources like images, fonts, etc. The sample data does not go in /res/ (they are not compiled with the app, hence. It is probably easier to filter them out by putting them in a totally separate directory). They go in /app/sampledata/, for example: /app/sampledata/image.png."
You can create a sample data directory in Android Studio itself by following the below steps:
Change the view of directory structure from Android to Project as follows
Right click app folder and select New->Directory
Finally, give a name to your directory, in your case, it should be sampledata
I have already created sampledata directory that's why it says "Directory already exists".
That's it. You have done it. Remember that Android Studio also supports loading sample data from a json file. All you have to give is fully qualified name of the key residing in the json file.
Ex- if your json file contains key name inside a Json Array student, then you have to specify it as "#sample/your_student_file.json/student/name" to use values present in key name.
Unless your issue happens to be different, this is a known issue that only affects Windows. As I've found, it has something to do with 'C:\' in the file path.
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/124553391
As Shawn mentioned, you need to manually create the directory.
I've been unable to get the images to actually display in the previewer, which I suspect may also be caused by the file path bug.
Inside the app folder in file explorer, You can create a new folder (sample data) which will be reflected in your android studio.
We've recently created a second Company (id=3) based on a snapshot of our original company (id=2). I am attempting to publish a change to one of the Customization Projects in the new company. The file upload/save worked fine, but publishing leads to this error:
Publish Customization
Compiled projects: AA, BB, CC, DD
Validation has been started.
PX.Data.PXException: Cannot access the uploaded file. Failed to get the

This attempt represents the first publish within this Company.
I retried the upload/save, but still no luck.
Our version is: 6.10.0010.
How do I overcome this error?
Any help would be great. Thanks.
This can happen when the customization projects reference a file that has been removed from the database. Customization project still has the file reference ID but the database doesn't contain a file associated with that ID anymore.
If this is the cause of your error, you can correct it by removing and adding back missing files. To do this, go to the Files section of your customization project. Click on each file link.
If the file is missing in database, an error message popup will appear. For these, remove the file link reference and add it back again. When files are not missing, they will appear like in the screenshots below.
I am developing Xamarin Ios app.I am getting the below error when upload .ipa file to application loader.And i dont have Ipad pro in my Info.plist like below:
how can i solve this please help me.
I've encountered some weird behaviour with this icon size as well related to Visual Studio.
Make sure you have another icon named Icon-83.5#2x.png in your Resources folder and set the build action to BundleResource.
Now rebuild your project. Check in the info.plist file if you have a entry like this: <string>Icon-83.5#2x.png</string>.
If you do you can submit that ipa. If it isn't in there, put it in manually under the CFBundleIconFiles key and then rebuild again.
<key>CFBundleIconFiles</key>
<array>
<string>Icon-72#2x.png</string>
<string>Icon-72.png</string>
<string>Icon#2x.png</string>
<string>Icon.png</string>
<string>Icon-60#2x.png</string>
<string>Icon-76.png</string>
<string>Icon-76#2x.png</string>
<string>Icon-83.5#2x.png</string>
<string>Default-568h#2x.png</string>
<string>Icon-Small-50#2x.png</string>
<string>Icon-Small-50.png</string>
<string>Icon-Small-40.png</string>
<string>Icon-Small-40#2x.png</string>
<string>Icon-Small.png</string>
<string>Icon-Small#2x.png</string>
</array>
Double-check that the entry wasn't erased by the build process. If it wasn't submit your ipa to the store.
Downside to all of this is, as I have encountered it, is that the entry gets deleted from the list by the build process. Or more specifically, when I change anything in the project options that influences the info.plist file.
Another way to go about this is to switch to a Asset Catalog.
we have a XPage project in the Domino Designer. The project contains a file [database.nsf]/Code/Java/META-INF/services/com.ibm.xsp.core.events.ApplicationListener, which configures an com.ibm.xsp.application.events.ApplicationListener2 (same with com.ibm.xsp.application.events.ApplicationListener) to be executed when the application is created, refreshed and destroyed.
When I clean and rebuild the project I often get the following error in the problem section:
The project was not built due to "Resource already exists on disk: '[database.nsf]/WebContent/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/services/com.ibm.xsp.core.events.ApplicationListener'." Fix the problem, then try refreshing this project and building it since it may be inconsistent.
This message is correct: the file is than available at that location. (You have to use the Eclipse view "Navigator" to see it, because the directory /WebContent/WEB-INF/classes is hidden in the project explorer.). When I open the file, it is empty. When I open the properties of the file, the size is "-1 bytes" (yes, minus). When I delete the file and refresh the folder in the Navigator, sometimes the file come directly back again with size -1 bytes, sometimes not. Sometimes the bug is solved after next clean project, but sometimes it reoccurs.
When the Designer compiles the project without error, the file has the correct content. At runtime this file is read and the ApplicationListener is executed, all events are fired as expected.
When the error occurs I could copy the content by hand into the problematic file and save it, delete the error task in the Domino Designer. Than the application also works fine (?).
I tried to create a minimal example, with a new project (nsf database) with only the configuration file (/Code/Java/META-INF/services/com.ibm.xsp.core.events.ApplicationListener) and the application listener implementation. Unfortunately the error does not occur.
The reason may be, that our project has a lot of files. We had this problem only with the services definition file. The problem also occurs when I rename the file (I appended two underscores as test).
The problem occurs with Domino Designer 9.0.1 and Notes 9.0.1 FP3.
Our project has an associated on disk project. But I had the same problem after removing the association. After associate again the problem was there again.
Is there a solution, except removing the file? (Whithout the file our application will not work correctly.)
Thanks in advance

I have had the same issue. In the 'Problems' view it lists 'The project was not built due to "Resource already exists on disk .../WebContent/WEB-INF/Classes/... then a file with a long hex name ending in .js.
Even simple Xpage changes would not appear on the browser no matter what I did with clean/build etc
What I find works is:
Open the 'Package Explorer' view, and in the first Folder called Local you will see a series of *.js files as mentioned above.
Delete them all.
Clean and build.
Bingo, my xpage is now working again.
Our firm has begun building MonoTouch iPad/iPhone apps for enterprise deployment.
How do I take the app and create a *.ipa file for upload to our MDM server?
An .ipa file is basically a glorified .zip file. There are a couple of routes you can go down:
Export the project to xcode and under "Build" click "Build and Archive" - fill in the appropriate details and the project should create the .ipa for you as expected.
If this isn't an option, (which it isnt for us, so this is the method I've used, to great success) you can simply create all the components that go into the .ipa and right-click, "Compress..." in Finder.
The .ipa is made up of the following components:
A folder named "Payload", which contains the compiled (release/iPhone) .app
a 57x57 .png icon file (which is displayed while the app is being downloaded)
a 512x512 .png file of the icon once again - however this has to renamed itunesartwork with no extension
iTunesMetadata.plist - this contains information about the app, such as copyright name, genre, itemname, softwareIconNeedsShine (you can google what information this needs).
The way I package up our .ipa, is I have a folder called "App Packaging" which has all of these components already in, and I simply update the .app file whenever we do an upload, "Compress..." then rename the file to x.ipa (OS X will ask if you want to use this extension, make sure you select ("use .ipa" !).
With the current Monodevelop (2.8.6.5) and Monotouch (5.2.5) it is as easy as right clicking on your project -> options -> iPhone IPA Options -> check Build ad-hoc/enterprise package (IPA) for the desired configuration.
We created a special configuration called Distribution which builds using the Distribution Certificate and In House Distribution Profile.
Luke, I like your answer and have given you the credit. I am adding some more details for my own, and others, notes.
Use SpotLight to find one of your own MonoTouch apps. Search on ".ipa".
Rename it to SomeThing.Zip
Unzip it.
You can then use the structure of the unzipped folder to edit then rezip.
Just another way to get an IPA that made it easy for me, drag your .app file onto your itunes library and sync your device. ITunes then creates a copy of the app as an .ipa file in the user/music/itunes/itunes media/mobile applications. This can then be distributed much easier than the .app file.
