I need to send an ipa to the client to submit it to the App Store (he has given me his .p12 key and certificate, together with the provisioning profile).
When it was XCode 3.x (submission = upload through webbrowser), it is an easy process. But with XCode 4, how can I do this?
I cannot validate and submit the app myself because I don't have my client's username and password for itunesconnect.
He doesn't have the project, but just the ipa that I built, so he cannot archive/validate/submit it neither.
Is there any way he can import the ipa into the XCode organizer to validate and submit it?
You must build for device using the appropriate certificate/provisionning,
Then go to products, you find the .app file, choose "show in finder"
Zip the .app file and send it to your client.
Once you've done this, your client must use "Application loader" to submit/updload the binary/application.
"Application Loader" is an utility installed with Xcode.
In general you find it in the path "xcode/Applications/Utilities"
Your client could use the application loader to upload the ipa.
You should first select Deliver Your App and not Open Package which is misleading.

I have followed all the steps to upload my first application on "https://itunesconnect.apple.com/WebObjects/iTunesConnect.woa"
at last i had uploaded the Large image & Screenshots.
I had not an option to upload the Binary file.
Now application status is "Waiting For Upload".
I am right now confuse about to upload my binary file, from where & how i can upload it?
is appliacation under review? is everything ok? or I will have to do any change?
Please, help me out, i am new to upload application.
All related helps are appreciated & thanks in advance.
Once you installed the appropiate certificate and distribution profile you're ready to go.
Open XCode -> select your distribution certificate within Build Settings -> code signing
Then click on 'Product' button within the topbar -> Archive -> choose upload to Appstore
When you follow these steps your App should be submitted the right way.
please download a app called "Application Loader" on mac . and compile your code with the provisioning profile.
put login id and password of your itunes connect in Application Loader application.
it will automatically ask for the .zip file of your first application Binary.
complete all formalities from itune connect.
I want to show my app to the client without submitting to the app store. I was following the below instructions. But my app doesn't display in iTunes. Could you please help me?
Login to the iPhone developer portal website.
Add their iPhone UDID to the list of devices. Generate a provisioning profile that includes your own test phone and theirs. Download the file (ends with .mobileprovision).
Double-click it to install it on your development machine. Quit and restart Xcode, then set your code signing identity to the name of this profile. Build the binary.
In the left side of Xcode "Groups & Files" bar look for Products (may need to expand the folder).
Select {yourapp}.app. Right click and choose 'Reveal in Finder.' Now take that .app file and the .mobileprovision file you downloaded, zip them both up and send it to the client.
They will need to unzip the archive, then drag-drop the .app and .mobileprovision onto their iTunes and sync the phone. Your app should show up and run.
The portal site has more detailed instructions, but this is basically it in a nutshell.
TestFlight is a great free service to do most of the hard work here for you. Follow these instructions for generating an IPA file and distribute it to whomever you like, without having to go through iTunes.
You still have to follow steps 1, 2 and 3 from your existing instructions.
First create distribution profile using apple developer portal you can follow this tutorial.

After installing profile follow this to create a binary that you will send to you client.

I get warning: Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, or it was
not signed with an Apple submission certificate. (-19011) can anyone help me ...ive been stuck
for a month ...also the app goes on my device for testing and i get a file to zip in my build
iphoneos file but when i use the app loader it says: Directory Services reported the following
error: Your Apple ID or password was entered incorrectly. (-20101)...i don't know how this happens when i log in correctly.. please help someone thank you.
When you receive "Directory Services reported the following error: Your Apple ID or password was entered incorrectly. (-20101)" from Application Loader, this means that your username and/or password has changed or it's in correct.
Solution:
1)Open Application Loader.
2)Click Window->Run Setup Wizard (Shift-Command-S).
3)Read the information on below the "Welcome to Application Loader." text
4)Click "Next".
5)Enter your iTunes Connect information (Apple ID and Password). If there are multiple developers on the account, use the Team Lead/Agent account information.
6) Click "Next".
7) If the information is correct you will get "Your iTunes login information has been verified." and if not you will get the same error as before and you will can always go back to re-enter the correct iTunes Connect information (Apple ID and Password).
I hope this helps.
Before doing a build for submitting (Release) to the app store, in Xcode under project properties ensure you have the settings for Release/Distribution selected. Then in the certificate row check you have your distribution certificate selected.
In Organizer check that your certificate is still valid. If not use your web browser and update the distribution certificate under developer.apple.com. THe update certificate takes a few minutes to become available. Back in Xcode use the update in Organizer to load your new certificates. If you get an error logging in then Xcode probably remembers an old or wrong password.
When you have your certificated sorted out, and want to do a build for the store use "Build and Archive" to upload your binary to Apple. The app loader still exists but since Xcode 3.2.something this functionality is included in Xcode
The best solution would be to develop for the Android. However, failing that are you using the Application Loader, not the xCode one which no longer works.
Also have you created your own Provisioning profiles for release and using them when you archive your code into its zip file from within Xcode?
Thank you
I learned a lot from this site
I have a question
I finished the application is running
webview
But I remain one step keeping the program
And send it to the iPhone to try it on two ipa
I want to save formulas ipa
Thank you
You can't just save an app as an IPA. Only if you submit it to the app store with a proper developer's license will they then distribute it in the store in that format
Running "Build and Archive" from the Build menu in Xcode will create an ipa file.
Stepwise Procedure to create an IPA file,
1.First of all,choose your device as IOS Device in Scheme near Breakpoint tab in Xcode.
2.In Xcode menu,Product->Clean and build your application.
3.If the provisioning certificate is not valid,it will lead to build failed with an error.If so you have to change it to a valid certificate through your project->build settings.Else if build succeeded just leave this step.
4.Then select Product->archive,it will create an archive file in Organiser->archives and open it up for you after archive finished.
5.choose share tab in Organiser followed by contents->.ipa and Identity->choose your valid distribution certificate and click next.
6.within a minute it will ask name for your IPA file to save.Give a name and save it in Desktop.
7.Open iTunes and drag and drop your IPA file in Library->Apps.
8.Now connect and select your Device in itunes->choose apps tab under it and sync your app ipa to the Device.It will install your IPA file to the device.
9.Thats all.Now you can run your App IPA file in your device.
I found the pre-release docs for this at https://developer.apple.com/iphone/prerelease/library/featuredarticles/FA_Wireless_Enterprise_App_Distribution/Introduction/Introduction.html (Developer account required)

I'm running into issues when I click on the link to the .plist file
Install My App over the air
-- the iOS4 device reports back:
Cannot connect to www.server.edu
Server names intentionally obscured
Obviously the device can connect to the server otherwise i wouldn't be able to see the page that has the link...
Any suggestions?
This happened to me because the SSL certificate had expired. Make sure you add that to the list of things to check. Once I renewed that it started working again.
I run into the same problem. It turns out there is a typo in the plist file.
Acutally, you don't need to create this plist file.
If you are using XCode to distribute, it will generate the right plist file with the ipa file.
Follow the following steps:
1. Sign your app with the enterprise distribution certificate.
2. Once you create the archive, go to Organizer, select the archive and click Distribute.
3.select "Save for Enterpise or Ad-Hoc Deployment" and click next.
4. Make sure you select the right code signing identity, the same certificate for in house distribution and click next.
5. When prompted for save, check "Save for Enterprise Distribution". It will ask for more information.
6. Application URL must be the url pointing to your ipa file when deployed in your app distribution server. You will need to have another two image files (required as 512*512 and 57*57).
7. When clicked save, plist file and ipa file will be created in the folder you chooose.
Official Guide: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#featuredarticles/FA_Wireless_Enterprise_App_Distribution/Introduction/Introduction.html
I haven't run into this, but the first place I'd look is the web server access logs at www.server.edu, to see if a) the request is getting to the server, and b) it's returning an error. I'd bet that the server doesn't like something about the HTTP request coming from the device. Missing cookie? Authentication required? Expecting a particular "Accept" header?
Check authentication on your server on this page and plist file request.
Because cookies of your browser do not send them to itunes on device.
Your plist file must be available without auth.
