Unable to submit iOS app due to Unexpected CFBundleExecutable Key

Question

On the app I'm working on, an issue was encountered when submitting the app to store:

We have discovered one or more issues with your recent delivery for "Application X". To process your delivery, the following issues must be corrected: Unexpected CFBundleExecutable Key - The bundle at '/Payload/(location of resources.bundle)/Info.plist' does not contain a bundle executable. If this bundle intentionally does not contain an executable, consider removing the CFBundleExecutable key from its Info.plist and using a CFBundlePackageType of BNDL. If this bundle is part of a third-party framework, consider contacting the developer of the framework for an update to address this issue. Once these issues have been corrected, you can then redeliver the corrected binary.

No changes has been done on info.plist and CFBundleExecutable/Executable File actually has an empty string. What has caused this error?

Also, will simply removing the CFBundleExecutable key from the plist resolve the issue?

So the bundle in question is evidently not your app; what is it? — matt, Oct 18 '16 at 16:16

Explicitly removing the CFBundleExecutable key in the plist fixed the problem.
