mix dala.publish (dala_dev v0.0.2)

Copy Markdown View Source

Uploads a release-signed .ipa to App Store Connect using xcrun altool with App Store Connect API key authentication. The build then appears in TestFlight after Apple finishes processing (typically 5-15 minutes).

mix dala.publish                       # uploads _build/dala_release/<App>.ipa
mix dala.publish path/to/Foo.ipa       # uploads a specific .ipa

Prerequisites

  1. App Store Connect API key (.p8 file). Create one at https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/access/api with App Manager role.

  2. The app record exists in App Store Connect (the bundle ID is registered there as an app, not just as an App ID in the developer portal).

  3. dala.exs configured:

    config :dala_dev,
  app_store_connect: [
    key_id:    "ABC123XYZ4",
    issuer_id: "69a6de76-aaaa-bbbb-cccc-1234567890ab",
    key_path:  "~/.appstoreconnect/AuthKey_ABC123XYZ4.p8"
  ]

What it does

Runs xcrun altool --upload-app with API-key auth. altool validates the IPA, uploads it, and returns when Apple has accepted the build for processing. Apple then takes 5-15 minutes to process the build before it appears in TestFlight.
