Error uploading to App Store, package filename invalid characters, ERROR ITMS-90328
Been having a really bad problem lately where I can't upload my apps to the app store for testing builds, and sending them to teammates over TestFlight.
When I try to upload to the App Store via Xcode or the Application Uploader, it gets to the very end of the upload process then throws a whole bunch of errors: ERROR ITMS-90328 "Your package contains a file 'appname.app/Data/Managed/Icon' with a name that contains invalid characters. Avoid using control characters in the file names."
The files in question are just empty hidden files named "Icon", that don't contain any data and as far as I can tell don't have any invalid characters. Weirdly, I've tried deleting them altogether and the exact same error occurs. The error gets thrown multiple times too, with the filepath changing (instead of Data/Managed/Icon itll be Data/Icon, Data/Managed/mono/2.0/Icon, etc)
Any help here would be great! Stopping those Icon files from spawning, preventing the error, anything to let me upload to the app store. I'm using the latest Unity on the latest OS X, publishing for iOS. I've also replaced all the default Unity icons and splash screen with custom art.

For anyone who might have this same weird problem, I found the culprit - Google Drive. Having folders in Google Drive auto-generates Icon files (just named Icon, no filetype extension), presumably for its own indexing. It'll regenrate them after you delete them, making the problem keep occurring.
My Builds folder was in my Google Drive folder, and was constantly syncing. Removing Builds from Google Drive and deleting all the Icon files seems to have solved up the problem. Hope this helps!
