I wrote a support ticket and got the following response:
----------
Hi,

My dev team says:

"There will be a rogue file in the app. Maybe something like a PSD file with the extension PNG Or some assets might be missing from the package like icons"

So check your files and be sure you have everything in place properly.
----------
I have went through my files back and forth for the past hour and still cannot find the issue. All assets are there and everything is where its supposed to be. Any other sources or isssue that I could have missed?

Not sure if this is the case, but you can't use alpha channels on the icon or splash images. Try to flattern your icon or leave it blank to see if it works.

Okay so when I didnt put in any icon it worked. But now I am confused, because I dont know why it doesnt work. My icon is a .png with a 1024x1024 resolution with no alpha channels. Any other requirements?

I uploaded the app without an icon, and sure enough it worked but I have the following issues:

We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app, "Lunar Hoops". Your delivery was successful, but you may wish to correct the following issues in your next delivery:

+ Code Snippet

Missing App Store Icon - iOS Apps must include a 1024x1024px App Store Icon in PNG format. Without providing the icon in the Asset Catalog or via iTunes Connect, apps cannot be submitted for App Review or Beta App Review. Refer to https://developer.apple.com/ios/human-interface-guidelines/icons-and-images/app-icon/ for more information.

This is what it looks like in Itunes Connect: https://prnt.sc/jqwx1i
Furthermore, I also have this issue:

+ Code Snippet

Missing Push Notification Entitlement - Your app appears to register with the Apple Push Notification service, but the app signature's entitlements do not include the "aps-environment" entitlement. If your app uses the Apple Push Notification service, make sure your App ID is enabled for Push Notification in the Provisioning Portal, and resubmit after signing your app with a Distribution provisioning profile that includes the "aps-environment" entitlement. Xcode 8 does not automatically copy the aps-environment entitlement from provisioning profiles at build time. This behavior is intentional. To use this entitlement, either enable Push Notifications in the project editor's Capabilities pane, or manually add the entitlement to your entitlements file. For more information, see https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/HandlingRemoteNotifications.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008194-CH6-SW1.

I do not use any push notifications or any notifications in my app. How do I get around these two issues?

I used xcode 7.3.1 and its application loader to send the app through.

I've struggled in similar issues. Regarding the icon, if you're using Photoshop, make sure to use the feature Flattern Image. You can also save as jpg and then save again as PNG to make sure the alpha channels were removed.

About push notifications, here's the thing: when I submitted my game for the first time, I got a rejection message saying that I was't using properly the AR features. Turns out my game didn't have any AR features. I had to reply asking them to review again and they finally got it approved. Not sure it's the same case, but I hope it helps.

Quote: "Unknown argument '--product-type'."

Means you have an older version of XCode installed that doesn't recognise that parameter. Updating XCode should fix it.

Quote: "I do not use any push notifications or any notifications in my app. How do I get around these two issues?"

You don't have to do anything about that, it is just a warning that's saying AppGameKit includes push notification commands but you haven't enabled push notifications for that app. If you are not using those commands then it won't cause any problems.

Quote: "I got a rejection message saying that I was't using properly the AR features"

Part of the same problem, Apple scan the app for API usage, like push notifications and AR, and then assume that you are using those features. If you aren't actually using them then Apple should allow the app through.
