I didn't change anything but I deleted a file just so I could undo any source code changes that could've been made by accident. Even after doing that, I am still missing the plist file.
The build doesn't fail within Appery or even in Xcode. But Apple rejects it because it is missing that file.
If you would like to test, I have shared my app with support and it is called The Calving Book Plus. I started having this issue after I updated my libraries to 5.0. If you end up exporting to Xcode, if you do a search for the plist file, you will find that there is a place holder but it is missing the file.
