I've been trying to get a MaxMSP app into App Store. I have been successful only in having it submitted to Test Flight for beta distribution. The main error message I had to get past was related to the improper structure of the Chromium Embedded Framework.

Here's the gist of my script:

Framework bundle structure allowable for Test Flight

This framework bundle structure for Chromium Embedded Framework is ok for Test Flight, but it the actual framework gets confused beyond fixes with install_name_tool and causes a crash at launch:

Crashed Thread:        16  ThreadPoolSingleThreadForegroundBlocking0

The crash is obtained with both the Test Flight beta distribution and the local Developer ID-signed versions. The original app generated by MaxMSP 8 works fine.

Thanks
