XCODE6 Submit to App Store

New to a company, the former Apple developer left, temporarily took over his Apple code, need to be modified and online to the app STORE. xcode6.0 upgrade to the latest 6.1 after the discovery of various pits

1. Path configuration is wrong, this is a personal habit problem, the previous people are absolute path. A change, check the information, done. The rules are posted here, hopefully with a relative path.

In general, we are in Xcode configuration contains the project directory head file, all related to the relative path and absolute path, if you only use this project, with the absolute path of the problem is not big, but if you send the project to others, others will change this absolute path, the shortcomings of the absolute path immediately appeared.

So when you modify the user Header Search paths this option, use
"$ (srcroot)/current project name/need to include header file Folder"
After you copy the string in the double quotation mark above, you will find that this "$ (srcroot)" will automatically become the current project so the directory.

So that you can, to other people, others do not have to modify the path.

2. Unable to submit to the app, suggesting that the picture could not be found, there is the error ITMS-9000 problem.

After the inspection, it is found that the icon submitted after the XCODE6 upgrade needs to be placed in the images.xcassets and a different device system is developed.

Then images.xcassets inside the AppIcon in the CarPlay to delete it.
