[WWDC21] Distribute apps in Xcode with cloud signing (Xcoude build with cloud signing)

Xcode13

Archiving

$ xcodebuild -project $WORKSPACE/sampleapp.xcodeproj \
  -scheme sampleapp-scheme \
  clean archive -archivePath ~/Documents/sampleapp/sampleapp.xcarchive

Exporting

Export iPA file

• sampleapp_appstore_upload.plist file

• Export sampleapp.ipa

  $ xcodebuild -exportArchive \
  -archivePath ~/Documents/sampleapp/sampleapp.xcarchive \
  -exportOptionsPlist ~/Documents/sampleapp/sampleapp_appstore_upload.plist \
  -exportPath ~/Documents/sampleapp/sampleapp.ipa
  

Automating Distribution With cloud signing

• sampleapp_appstore_upload.plist file

• Use App Store Connect Keys

  $ xcodebuild -exportArchive \
  -archivePath ~/Documents/sampleapp/sampleapp.xcarchive \
  -exportOptionsPlist ~/Documents/sampleapp/sampleapp_appstore_upload.plist \
  -authenticationKeyIssuerID xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx \
  -authenticationKeyID xxxxxxxxxx \
  -authenticationKeyPath ~/PrivateKeys/AuthKey_xxxxxxxxx.p8 \
  -allowProvisioningUpdates
  

• If you sign in With Xcode, the only required flag will be ‘-allowProvisioningUpdates’

  $ xcodebuild -exportArchive \
  -archivePath ~/Documents/sampleapp/sampleapp.xcarchive \
  -exportOptionsPlist ~/Documents/sampleapp/sampleapp_appstore_upload.plist \
  -allowProvisioningUpdates
