Info.plist file for framework missing in cordova app
I have a cordova app which when compiled and run in device is working well, but when I upload it in the app store. The "Build is invalid". and also i got this email from apple: iTunes Connect
Dear Developer,
We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app, APP_NAME.
Please correct the following issues, then upload again.
1.) This bundle is invalid - The Info.plist file for /Payload/APP_NAME.app/www/js/cordova-ios/tests/spec/unit/fixtures/org.test.plugins.dummyplugin/src/ios/Custom.framework is missing or could not be read.
2.) Invalid Bundle - The bundle at '/Payload/APP_NAME.app/www/js/cordova-ios/tests/spec/unit/fixtures/org.test.plugins.dummyplugin/src/ios/Custom.framework' does not contain a bundle executable.
3.) This bundle is invalid - The Info.plist file for /Payload/APP_NAME.app/www/js/cordova-ios/tests/spec/unit/fixtures/org.test.plugins.dummyplugin/src/ios/CustomEmbeddable.framework is missing or could not be read.
4.) Invalid Bundle - The bundle at '/Payload/APP_NAME.app/www/js/cordova-ios/tests/spec/unit/fixtures/org.test.plugins.dummyplugin/src/ios/CustomEmbeddable.framework' does not contain a bundle executable.
Can not seem to find a reason. How can the build work in local device but when build and archived and uploaded, its invalid build.
Thanks in advance :)

Solution
The problem is you have the whole cordova-ios library code inside your js folder. As you have all cordova-ios code, it also contain the tests, which includes the dummyplugin test, which has the invalid custom frameworks that don't pass Apple validation.
You don't have to add it, neither cordova-android or any of the plugins and libs you have there. For now remove the whole cordova-ios folder and build your app again.
The needed cordova-ios code and the plugins code is generated by cordova prepare command and copied to the proper appName/platforms/ios/www folder.
