title: CFBundleVersion must be a period separated list of at most three non-negative integers (WARNING ITMS-9000)
body: <p>I'm getting this warning when trying to submit my app:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/DmWMZ.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>WARNING ITMS-9000: "This bundle is invalid. The value for key
    CFBundleVersion [3.3.9.2014.08.20] int the info.plist file must be a
    period separated list of at most <strong>three</strong> non-negative integers."</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>This is the first time I'm seeing this after a lot of submissions with that versioning format.</p>
  
  <p>Is something changed regarding CFBundleVersion ?</p>
  
  <p>I'm guessing the <strong>three</strong> wasn't always there? or apple just started warning us about it?</p>
  
  <p>From the <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/general/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/CoreFoundationKeys.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001431-102364" rel="noreferrer">Apple docs</a>:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>CFBundleVersion</p>
    
    <p>CFBundleVersion (String - iOS, OS X) specifies the build version
    number of the bundle, which identifies an iteration (released or
    unreleased) of the bundle. The build version number should be a string
    comprised of three non-negative, period-separated integers with the
    first integer being greater than zero. The string should only contain
    numeric (0-9) and period (.) characters. Leading zeros are truncated
    from each integer and will be ignored (that is, 1.02.3 is equivalent
    to 1.2.3). This key is not localizable.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Apparently CFBundleVersion was changed as you can see <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120519210552/http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#/web/20120516081816/http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/CoreFoundationKeys.html" rel="noreferrer">here</a>.
  It's a shame that I need to search WayBackMachine for something like that while Apple's "Document Revision History" says nothing about it.</p>
