Cannot sync .app files on Mac

I create Applications with Automator, and it produces files with a .app extension. They aren't syncing with Dropbox. I just see a slash through a cloud icon next to the file.

    Hmm, I just tried those and it didn't clear the crossed cloud. However, I went ahead and cloned the app in Automator, and now the file syncs. Thanks!

Hey philipkd,

 

It seems that the fix doesn’t address the files already affected by this. Could you please ''unignore those files'', instructions in here.

 

Thanks!
