Submitting to App Store and Mac App Store from beta version OSX box

You probably met already the following error during submitting your product to the (Mac) App Store:

Don't submit apps built with beta software including beta OS X builds

The reason is that Xcode adds the OS version to the application Info.plist file by default and if you are using a pre-release, beta version of OSX you will get the above error during the app validation process in iTunes connect.
It looks like something like this in the Info.plist

<key>BuildMachineOSBuild</key>
<string>14D87h</string>

Quick and dirty solution can be the next one,  add a new 'Run Script' build step at the end of your Build Phases of the given build target, like

if [ "${CONFIGURATION_TYPE}" == "Release" ]; then
    // "15E65" <- 10.11.4 Any other older is fine if not beta, pre-release, etc. like "14C2043" 10.10.2
    defaults write "${CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR}/${CONTENTS_FOLDER_PATH}/Info.plist" BuildMachineOSBuild "15E65"
fi

This will replace the BuildMachineOSBuild key value to the currently latest official OSX version number of 10.11.4 and lies to iTunes connect your app built on that OS.

p.s: No, this is not recommended all the times, but can be a quick solution if you have not got a backup OSX developer machine with an official (not beta, pre release, etc.) OS version and you have to deploy urgently.

Fixing 10.8.x ldapdl error messages

If you have a lot of entry in your OSX 10.8+ logs like this

Error loading /System/Library/Security/ldapdl.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ldapdl: dlopen(/System/Library/Security/ldapdl.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ldapdl, 262): no suitable image found. Did find:
/System/Library/Security/ldapdl.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ldapdl: mach-o, but wrong architecture

that means the programs make those log enties are trying to load the ldapdl binary from a 32 bit application and unfortunately the ldapdl version came with 10.8 is a 64 bit only binary. As a temporary solution (till those programs not updated to theirs 64 bitcounter part) you can make an unibin version from an earlier 32 and the current 64 bit version.

1. copy the 10.7.x version of the binary to a temp place, I've used my desktop

2. extract the 32 bit binary from a 10.7.x version to a temp place, that was may desktop too

lipo -extract i386 -output ~/Desktop/ldapdl ~/Desktop/ldapdl.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ldapdl

3. extract the 64 bit binary from the 10.8.x version to a temp place, that was may /var/tmp

lipo -extract x86_64 -output /var/tmp/ldapdl /System/Library/Security/ldapdl.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ldapdl

4. Backup your old 10.8.x binary

sudo mv /System/Library/Security/ldapdl.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ldapdl your_backup_place

5. Put the i386 and x86_64 versions together to the official place

sudo ~/Desktop/ldapdl /var/tmp/ldapdl -create -output /System/Library/Security/ldapdl.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ldapdl

6. Correct the owner of the produced file

sudo chown root:wheel /System/Library/Security/ldapdl.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ldapdl

7. Check if everything was fine.

ls /System/Library/Security/ldapdl.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ldapdl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 219968 Jan 18 13:12 /System/Library/Security/ldapdl.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ldapdl*

lipo -info /System/Library/Security/ldapdl.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ldapdl
Architectures in the fat file: /System/Library/Security/ldapdl.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ldapdl are: i386 x86_64
