I have followed all steps to generate the .ipa file and went to upload it using the Application Loader but kept getting the following error:

The Info.plist in the package must contain the CFBundleVersion key.
 The Info.plist in the package must contain the CFBundleShortVersionString key.

Here's Hello World-Info.plist file containg all the info:

What needs to be fixed/added so I can upload my application?!

Add after first opening of the < dict >

<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
<string>1.0</string>
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>1</string>

Replace 1.0 with the version of the application you want.The funny thing is that those should be generated for you any time you are changing anything in the TargetName -> General -> Identity :)

Edit: added a image where those setting are displayd

Where to find those settings
