I am still trying to prepare an app for app store submission, but still failing.

I follow the instructions in the Mac App Submit article in RevUp June 17th 2011 
to the letter. It all seems to work, but testing the resulting installer 
package fails. I follow the instructions to the letter, the results in the 
terminal are exactly as the article predicts (last line - installer: Finished 
install)
but there is no app in my applications folder.

And if I just run the installer itself, it seems to work, I get the chime and 
"Application successfully installed" message, but there is no application in 
the applications folder!

The thing that concerns me is this:

> type a space after the closing quote and then in the Finder drag your 
> standalone application file into the Terminal. Terminal will put the absolute 
> path to the standalone application. The final line will look something like:
> 
> jdough:~ jdough$ codesign -f -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: J 
> Dough" /Users/jdough/Documents/MyLiveCodeApp/MyLiveCodeApp/MyLiveCodeApp.app
> 
> hit the return key and codesign should add a "_CodeSignature" folder (and 
> other files) into the package contents of your standalone. 


This DOES create the "_CodeSignature" folder with a "CodeResources" file in it. 
(but no other files as suggested above in the instructions)

But it also results in an error in the terminal window:

object file format unrecognized, invalid, or unsuitable

But even after this error, everything after works just fine, until the app 
doesn't show up in the applications folder. By everything els I mean the 
codesign and productbuild in terminal.

You can imagine the confusion - I follow the instructions precisely, get to the 
end of the process and no application. I can't believe it doesn't have anything 
to do with that error message after the code sign, but I always get that error 
message.

That RevUp article states Snow Leopard, so maybe something is slightly 
different with Mountain Lion?

Help appreciated!

Cheers,

Lars
