Sooo update on this issue. I moved all my external code for google sheet & Twilio messaging into the script file thinking that would solve the issue.

And it didn’t, same error with the same naming convention. All the modules that I need have a lot of init.py files so I wonder if Apple doesn’t allow files with that name specifically or what.

So as a test I took out those files and just tried to upload my Pythonista code and it worked flawlessly. At least I pinpointed exactly what files are causing this error, but it’s sad because those modules are important for the functionality of my app.

@JonB this might be some of my own doing. I wanted to add google sheet api and Twilio messaging support in my app.
I added those files into the site packages and performed the ‘import Pythonista’ trick to all files so that no singing issues would occur.

Since these files were apart of the original template, these files my need to exist in the Script folder of the template.

I’m pretty sure when I make this switch everything should be fine.

Hello all,
A few months ago I got a Pythonista 3 App Template to work and uploaded my game to the App Store successfully. Since then I've tried to post another app to the App Store. I get past the validation stage and upload stage just fine but then a few minutes later apple hits me with this error:

ITMS-90048: This bundle is invalid - Your archive contains paths that are not allowed: ('init.py')

Has anybody that has downloaded my app template had this problem? Any help would awesome. Thx

@pavlinb There is a Pythonista 3 Xcode Template that you place your code in. You must have a Mac with Xcode installed and have a little bit of knowledge on how to upload apps to the App Store to configure.

@brx thank you for the download!! I’m sorry to hear about the plane not moving for you :/ the game uses the motion module for detecting tilting on a certain axis. It might be something in your settings maybe? Everyone else that has downloaded the game has not had any issues so far.

Hey everybody!

(If you are in the Pythonista app slack and saw this message already, then feel free to ignore this)

I am happy to announce I have uploaded my first ever game to the iOS App Store! (Never thought I would ever say this). The game is called “Flyboy Adventure Game”. And this game was created entirely with python 3 through the Pythonista 3 app on my iPad Mini 5th gen.

I would love as much feedback as possible on how you like the game and if I should maybe invest some time into making another game! The complete source code and assets for the game are listed on the developer site link(Github) through the App Store if you would like to learn how I made it. Also there is a link through the developer site for an updated Pythonista 3 template that will not error when going through App Store review.

I decided a price of .99 cents due to my own hatred of iOS game ads. So hopefully this will not discourage you guys from trying it out. Any and all support would be much appreciated!

Here is the link to the game:

@Ichicoro lol I hate myself. This should work, let me know if it doesn’t.

To anybody that needs it, here is the correct and updated Pythonista 3 Template:

@vovaburm oops I must have uploaded the wrong version then off my desktop, my bad! I’m glad you got it to work!

@JonB I’m glad you mentioned that. I forgot to inform that to get past signing errors I used @RomSpy ’s last template he posted from this forum link:

https://forum.omz-software.com/topic/5837/xcode-template

After getting past the signing errors is when I started getting the UIWebView deprecated rejections from Apple. That is when I stumbled upon this forum post and tried out your idea of downloading the hex editor, etc. I first tried replacing UIWebView with WKWebView like Apple suggested, but it ended up crashing my app after launch. Replacing it with UIBarItem had no effect.

Here is my latest version of the Pythonista 3 App Template that I used for my game I’m currently publishing to the App Store as we speak.
