Note: these steps are for the special case where a user wishes to submit a Xamarin.iOS app to the App Store using the Xcode Organizer. In most cases the simpler option is instead to use Application Loader. See the first post on https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/40388/disallowed-paths-itunesmetadata-plist-found-at-when-submitting-to-app-store/p1 for the simpler steps and additional information.

Steps to submit a Xamarin.iOS app using the Xcode Organizer

For this example assume that the name of the Xamarin.iOS project is "iPhoneApp1".

(Modified from the helpful post here.)

1. Use the "Build -> Archive for Publishing" workflow in Xamarin Studio to create the .xcarchive (see also the "Building the Distributable" section on the publishing guide).

       This problem is caused by the default unspecified visibility of
       the QuadCorners Java class.

       Note in particular the very end of the following line from

       In this particular case, the conflicting definition is in
       `Com.Adtech.Mobilesdk.Publisher.Vast.Player.ILinearAdPlayer`.
       That interface also defines an "onError" method.

# Prevent the Xamarin.Android bindings generator from converting a `get` or `set` method to a property


Xamarin.Android Java bindings projects will by default automatically bind any Java method that starts with "get" to be the getter of a C# property. To prevent this in specific cases, you can set the `propertyName` attribute of the method to the empty string. The same is true for methods that start with "set", except that they will only be converted to property setters if there is already a corresponding property getter. This requirement prevents the creation of set-only properties (see also http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229006.aspx).


So for example, you would add something like the following to the Metadata.xml file:
```
<attr path="/api/package[@name='com.example.testandroidlib']/class[@name='MyClass']/method[@name='getNumberTen']" name="propertyName"></attr>
```

To solve both of the problems from the stack traces below, follow these steps:

1. Add the following to an XML file in the project:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
   <linker>
   	<assembly fullname="System.ServiceModel">
   		<type fullname="System.ServiceModel.Channels.ChannelFactoryBase`1">

# Some steps to try if Xamarin Studio says "Error updating Xcode project. Invalid parameter"

1. Quit Xcode and Xamarin Studio.

2. Delete the `obj/` folder where Xamarin stores the generated Xcode files (or just the `obj/Xcode` folder, if you prefer)

3. Open the project in Xamarin Studio, and build the project.

4. Try to open the problematic XIB (or storyboard) file.
