28 February 2025 Stephan Petzl Leave a comment Xcode

When attempting to submit an app to the App Store using Xcode, you might encounter the error: “ERROR ITMS-90475: ‘Invalid Bundle. iPad Multitasking support requires launch storyboard in bundle.’” This guide will help you understand the cause of this error and provide step-by-step solutions to resolve it effectively.

Understanding the Error

The error indicates that your app needs to handle iPad multitasking appropriately. If your app supports multitasking, it must include a launch storyboard. Otherwise, you must configure your app to not support multitasking on iPad.

Solutions to Resolve the Error

Option 1: Disable Multitasking

If multitasking is not required for your app, you can disable it. Follow these steps:

• Open your project in Xcode.
• Select your target and go to the General tab.
• Check the Requires Full Screen option to disable multitasking.

Option 2: Configure Launch Storyboard

If your app supports multitasking, ensure you have a launch storyboard set up correctly:

• Create a launch screen storyboard if you haven’t already.
• In Xcode, select your build target and go to the General tab.
• Under App Icons and Launch Screen, select the storyboard file.
• Remove the .storyboard extension from the storyboard name in the plist file under UILaunchStoryboardName.

Option 3: Support Split Views

To support split views while maintaining a launch storyboard:

• Go to Targets > Info > Launch screen interface file base name.
• Change the value to LaunchScreen without the .storyboard extension.
