My doubt here is

If you want a quick and dirty fix, in Tiapp.xml, make your version 20107.

In the TiApp.py file of the SDK version you are currently using, around line 460 or so, change:

app_version_ = CFBundleShortVersionString.split('.')

to

app_version_ = CFBundleShortVersionString.split('0')

That will split your nonstandard build number on the 0 instead of on the . (which, btw does not match Apple's own recomendations regarding CFBundleVersion

Your client used a non-standard, large value in a previous submission.

  • in 2.1.1GA will be lines 544, and 553 if it works.

    Other option, is to make the lines that look like this:

    CFBundleShortVersionString = app_version_[0]+'.'+app_version_[1]+'.'+app_version_[2]

    into this

    CFBundleShortVersionString = '2.1.7'

    to get it released.

  • This code snippet in tiapp.xml will solve your problem with 2.1.1GA (tested). Anyone else reading, this is a unique fix to his situation. It splits the 5 char numeric on the ZEROS to build his required CFBundleShortVersionString 

    CFBundleShortVersionString = self.properties['version']
app_version_ = CFBundleShortVersionString.split('0')
if(len(app_version_) > 2):
    CFBundleShortVersionString = app_version_[0]+'.'+app_version_[1]+'.'+app_version_[2]
plist = st + CFBundleShortVersionString + fn
    Remember you are editing python, and its picky about its spacing.
