Apple, stop invalidating my EPUBs with your iTunesMetadata.plist file

Dear Apple:

I'm really tired of iTunes adding an iTunesMetadata.plist file to my original EPUB files every time I test said EPUB files on my iPad or iPhone through iTunes. To add insult to injury, every time you do it, it causes an error in ePubCheck—since the EPUB file now contains a non-manifested file—thus making the file invalid for uploading to your iBookstore.

Could you please quit it?

Sincerely,
Liz Castro
