Java 2012-006 update broke xCode Uploading

Question

This is related to this question Submit Application not possible

However after the most recent java update from apple (that removed the web plugin) oracle immediatley issued an update for java 7

Now xcode can't upload anymore "An error occurred uploading to the iTunes Store" and the old fix doesn't work. Is Java 1.6 gone? Or do we need to do something else?

Seems like Xcode 4.5.1 fixes the Issue – arnoapp Nov 07 '12 at 23:29 — arnoapp, Nov 07 '12 at 23:29

The previous answers are ok if you have an old copy of Java. An easy fix (that will break Java, and then you can revert it back) is to temporarily remove/backup the two symlinks.

cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions
sudo mv Current Current.bak
sudo mv CurrentJDK CurrentJDK.bak
Upload your binary
sudo mv Current.bak Current
sudo mv CurrentJDK.bak CurrentJDK

You can do this in terminal

cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions  
open .

Then copy out the Current and CurrentJDK folders to the desktop or other location and

rm Current*  
ln -s 1.6.0/ Current  
ln -s 1.6.0/ CurrentJDK

This fixes the upload issue then when you are done in Terminal

cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions
rm Current*
open .

Then copy the originals back from the desktop and you Java will be working again.

For future reference: "Current" symlinks to "A" in that Versions folder. And "CurrentJDK" symlinks to "/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents" – Hackmodford Oct 18 '12 at 13:18

As a followup to anyone who doesn't have any other versions of Java linked, I found simply deleting the Current and CurrentJDK files worked. There were no issues noted in /var/log/system.log , which leads me to believe Xcode simply either skips the script requiring Java, or found a 1.6 version of Java by itself.

Same steps as Gary Rudolph described:

cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions

sudo mv Current Current.bak
sudo mv CurrentJDK.bak CurrentJDK.bak

Upload your binary

sudo mv Current.bak Current
sudo mv CurrentJDK.bak CurrentJDK

I used the instructions found at this website

http://creativepark.net/1146

rm Current*
ln -s 1.6.0/ Current
ln -s 1.6.0/ CurrentJDK

However this seems to have broken java :( atleast my upload worked.

Use xcode 4.6 Organizer to submit your archive. And you do not need to do anything with Java on your Mountain Lion
