title: Mac App Store Application Loader Exception
body: <p>I'm trying to send my pkg file to Apple, but it says :</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>&quot;There was a general exception while executing&quot;</p>
  <p>&quot;An exception has occured: null&quot;</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>So what am I to do now :D? Any clues?
  The only thing I did was download the new XCode so I could use iconutil to make a 1024x1024 icon, which seemed to work fine.</p>
  <p>This is the error output in the console :</p>
