For my beautiful wife, Patricia
I wrote this book for the people beating their heads against their desks, late at night, wondering why on earth Xcode will not code sign their apps, or install onto their iPhones. These people have probably visited 100 different websites hoping for that magic glimmer of tribal knowledge that will make everything work so that their app will suddenly load onto their iOS device. This book is an attempt to explain the nuances of the iOS build and release process with the hope of alleviating some of the pain that may come along with it. If youre a developer, this book will allow you to spend more time focusing on development, and less time focusing on the build and release process. If youre a release engineer managing iOS applications for a corporation, the material presented here will help you facilitate the build process, manage multiple iOS devices, and make the distribution process for an iOS app much easier.
Anyone who has dived into the development or building of an iOS app is familiar with the amount of time you can spend trying to figure out how the build and distribution of an app actually works. As someone who has managed the build and release process for multiple iOS apps, I can attest to the lack of clear, concise documentation for the build and deployment processes that are an essential part of the development cycle. For something that can take a tremendous amount of time, I was surprised how many iOS programming books barely address (or avoid) this topic altogether. Which is exactly the reason I decided to write this book. In fact, this may be the only book about iOS development that has nothing to do with iOS development. There isnt a single line of Objective-C covered here. This book covers what you have to know to get your app distributed to iOS devices for testing, and to the App Store.
For all readers, my hope is that this book saves you a lot of time and becomes a handy addition to your iOS build and release toolset.
Youll need a Mac running, at a minimum, OS X v10.7 (Lion) or OS X v10.8 (Mountain Lion). For best results when accessing the websites referenced within this book, use the Safari web browser, as content hosted by Apple may not render correctly with other browsers.
XcodeYoull need to install, at a minimum, Xcode 4.5 on your Mac. Xcode is a free download from the App Store, and available for download for members of an iOS Developer Program within the iOS Dev Center website.
An iOS DeviceYoull need at least one iOS device to load your app onto. At the time of this writing this includes the iPad, iPad mini, iPhone, and iPod touch.
Membership in an iOS Developer ProgramIn order to deploy your app onto a device for testing, youll need to be enrolled in either the iOS Developer Program or the iOS Enterprise Developer Program. Enrollment in the iOS Developer program is either as an Individual or a Company/Organization.
This book is organized into three parts. Chapters documents how to setup Passes for your development environment. As it would be impossible to address each and every reason for why you may encounter a code signing or build error, I have attempted to lay out a proper way to set up your development and build environments to mitigate the chances of errors occurring. Additionally, I have taken the liberty of repeating myself several times throughout this book, as most sections are designed to stand alone so that you can pick up and read exactly what you are looking for without having to read the previous sections or chapters.
This introductory chapter provides an overview of the iOS Dev Center website, and then focuses on getting your personal development environment (a Mac and an iOS device) up and running using Xcode Organizer.
This first part of this chapter explains the setup of App IDs on the iOS Provisioning Portal website. The second part covers the setup of the Development and Distribution Certificates which are used to sign your app before it can be deployed.
This chapter covers what you need to consider when setting up iOS devices for testing, along with how to do it. The remainder of this chapter focuses on bringing the previous topics together with the setup and management of Provisioning Profiles.
This chapter focuses on the additional, optional services you may wish to add to your iOS app including Apple Push Notification Service, iCloud, Passes, and Data Protection.
Now that the setup part of iOS development has been covered, its time to build. This chapter covers the different types of builds and methods for releasing your app internally and to the App Store.
This chapter is for build and release engineers who have to focus on automating the build of iOS apps for an organization.
This chapter documents what it takes to setup the development framework for Passes. You can use the information here to verify your Pass Type ID and Certificate are setup correctly prior to running a Passes signing application in a production environment.
