Answer 1

You don't need to do any of this strange ditto stuff.

You can simply zip the app up and upload it. I've had several apps approved this way.

App is usually located:
/Users/home/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/yourapp.../Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/yourapp.app

Answer 2

1. Step: Run App in Simulator Run your app in your Xcode iPhone 5 simulator. This automatically creates a simulator build in Xcode's DerivedData cache.

2. Step: ZIP Simulator Build Zip the simulator build via the following command:

ditto -ck --sequesterRsrc --keepParent ls -1 -d -t ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/*/Build/Products/*-iphonesimulator/*.app | head -n 1 path/to/YourApp.zip

3. Step: Verify Build You can verify the simulator build by using the ios-sim utility Command-line App Launcher for Simulator. Once installed run:

ios-sim launch /path/to/your-app.app

Answer 3

1. Based on Facebook developer documentation, you just need the command below (remember to change your destination path).

   ditto -ck --sequesterRsrc --keepParent `ls -1 -d -t ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/*/Build/Products/*-iphonesimulator/*.app | head -n 1` path/to/YourApp.zip
   

---

2. To verify your build, install ios-sim package and run the command below (d is devicetypeid).

   ios-sim launch /path/to/your-app.app -d iPhone-X
   

Answer 4

for those of you getting the error ""ditto: Can't archive multiple sources":

use --keepParent with two dashes in front of it

ditto -ck --sequesterRsrc —-keepParent “source" "destination"

Answer 5

Use below command. It will work. Change below path for your app file.

ditto -ck --sequesterRsrc --keepParent '/some/long/path/to/my appname.app' /Desktop/outputfile.zip

to find your app file path on "/Users/home/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/yourapp.../Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/yourapp.app"

Answer 6

In my case ,i use the below command to build zip file ditto -ck --sequesterRsrc —-keepParent “source" "destination"

where source is /Users/home/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/yourapp.../Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/yourapp.app

and destination is where you save the .zip file.
