We want to submit our add-on for review but are having issues with submission.
After we upload the .xpi file I get the message about warnings about a binary submitted and asks for uploading source.
I uploaded a zip file including source code. After this the platform tick mark goes away and I cannot select the platform.
If I click “Continue” it comes back to the same page. I am not able to proceed further.
Any clues?. I tried all the three browsers (Firefox, Chrome and IE).
Add-on submission checklistPlease
verify the following points before finalizing your submission. This
will minimize delays or misunderstanding during the review process:Include detailed version notes (this can be done in the next step).If
your add-on requires an account to a website in order to be fully
tested, include a test username and password in the Notes to Reviewer
(this can be done in the next step).If your add-on is intended for a limited audience you should choose Preliminary Review instead of Full Review.The validation process found these issues that can lead to rejections:Compiled
binaries, as well as minified or obfuscated scripts (excluding known
libraries) need to have their sources submitted separately for review.
Make sure that you use the source code upload field to avoid having your
submission rejected.Access to the eval globalSee full validation reportIf you are unfamiliar with the add-ons review process, you can read about it here.
That is what I tried first it did not work and then I tried loading the zip file also still did not work I wish I could upload the screenshots unfortunately I couldn’t
this is not an isolated instance, I can not reliably upload even simple single .xpi files to amo. It checks the file, but never adds it to the version entry. I also can’t delete the version entry. If I try to add an additional file ( really the only file I have, it checks it but indicates there is a blank field in the submission form. I think something is broken here…
I was able to get it to work, maybe just because sometimes it randomly works ( like 1 out of 3 times) or maybe because i waited several minutes for the version entry to be made and for the changes to its profile to be saved. Like at least 3 minutes for each of them. So maybe the server is just extremely overloaded? Hope this helps some one else. this never used to be a problem…
Uploaded the PrimadeskPlugin.xpi file. Now see the Windows is
unselected. (I did not do this. It did it automatically). Continue
button is available however I am not able to select “Windows” (or anything
else) by clicking. It just does not work.

3) I click on continue but now it complains that at least one platform
should be selected.

How do I get over this issue?
I tried all the three browsers (Firefox, Chrome and IE) but no luck.

As I mentioned I am not able to select the platform once I upload the xpi file. One of the developers acknowledged it as a bug when the max version is not specified you hit this bug.
There’s an open bug for this problem. It looks like it’s triggered by a lack of a maxVersion in install.rdf, but there could be other causes. Adding a maxVersion should generally fix this problem.
