As part of the countinues integration process of my iPhone application, I want to create a process that will automatically upload the app (.ipa) file to the apple app store.
Make sure you have an application in "waiting to upload" state.
Create a new keychain Item Named: Xcode:itunesconnect.apple.com provide your credentials to itunes connect.
From the command line: xcrun -sdk iphoneos Validation -online -upload -verbose "path to ipa"
UPLOAD IPA TO TESTFLIGHT
altool --upload-app -f "${APP_NAME}.ipa" -u $APP_STORE_USERNAME -p $APP_STORE_PASSWORD
To use
altool
from anywhere in the terminal you could add it to your PATH env variable by typing in terminal:Previous to Xcode 11:
MacBook-Pro:~ denis$ export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Application\ Loader.app/Contents/Frameworks/ITunesSoftwareService.framework/Support/ MacBook-Pro:~ denis$ source ~/.bash_profile
From Xcode 11 and later: (
altool
has changed location)MacBook-Pro:~ denis$ export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/ MacBook-Pro:~ denis$ source ~/.bash_profile
You should use application loader tool: altool --upload-app -f file -u username [-p password] [--output-format xml]
As describe in: https://help.apple.com/itc/apploader/#/apdATD1E53-D1E1A1303-D1E53A1126
The previous reply does not work with the new iTunes Connect any more.
You need to use the iTunes Transporter
to upload your app to iTunes Connect. Check out the source code of deliver on GitHub: https://github.com/fastlane/fastlane/blob/master/fastlane_core/lib/fastlane_core/itunes_transporter.rb
You can use deliver to automatically upload new updates to the App Store: https://fastlane.tools/deliver
