I'm trying to publish a cordova-based app on iOS by doing the following steps:

  1. Run cordova build ios
  2. Open the generated project under <project>/platforms/ios in XCode
  3. In XCode, edit <project>-Info.plist and remove all entries related to icons (CFBundleIconFile, CFBundleIcons, CFBundleIcons~ipad)
  4. Product > Build, then Product > Archive
  5. Validate... (and follow wizard) => "Validation Successful"
  6. Upload to App Store... (and follow wizard) => Error message after upload

ERROR: "Invalid Image Path - No image found at the path referenced under key 'CFBundleIcons': 'AppIcon40x40'"

Screenshot of error message

Previously, I'd had a couple of such error messages and read in other answers that they're related to an entries in <project>-Info.plist. I could resolve most with step 3, but this one remained.

There is no entry CFBundleIcons in this file anymore, I double-checked by opening the final app archive.

It's also remarkable that all related problem descriptions I found online (e.g. this one) include the code ITMS-90032 in the error messages, but mine does not. What could be the reason for this?

What causes this error message, or how could I further debug the issue?

So far, I haven't found a satisfying explanation for the error message, but I've managed to apply a workaround.

I've created a new icon image file of dimensions 40x40 px and referenced in config.xml as follows:

<icon src="img/small-icon_40.png" width="40" height="40"/>

In <project>-Info.plist, I referenced said image under CFBundleIcons instead of deleting the whole entry:

While there still is no file AppIcon40x40.png in the resulting app archive, the upload/verification service doesn't seem to care anymore and the submission succeeds.

I have a similar problem with icon.png. It's since I upgraded cordova to 6.0. It the new iOS builder 4.1.0.

you can downgrade ios version to previous one :

sudo cordova platform rm ios
sudo cordova platform add ios@3.9.2

to check iOS version 

sudo cordova platforms
