Is there any automatic Testflight upload script on application archiving? - ios

I found that Testflight is supporting application uploading through API call http://testflightapp.com/api/builds.format. It accepts application package, dsyms, application info and other.
So my question is next: Is there any automatic script for xcode which will upload build into Testflight after "archive" operation? Share the links, please.
SOLUTION IS HERE (Mac OS X 10.8):
1) Follow this manual and setup post-execution script
2) Remove Replace "echo" strings with next rule:
#!/bin/bash
#
# (Above line comes out when placing in Xcode scheme)
#
API_TOKEN="<YOUR-TESTFLIGHT-API-TOKEN>"
TEAM_TOKEN="<YOUR-TESTFLIGHT-TEAM-TOKEN>"
SIGNING_IDENTITY="iPhone Developer"
PROVISIONING_PROFILE="${HOME}/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/<YOUR-PROFILE-NAME>.mobileprovision"
LOG="/tmp/testflight.log"
GROWL="/usr/bin/terminal-notifier -title Xcode -message"
DATE=$( /bin/date +"%Y-%m-%d" )
ARCHIVE=$( /bin/ls -t "${HOME}/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives/${DATE}" | /usr/bin/grep xcarchive | /usr/bin/sed -n 1p )
DSYM="${HOME}/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives/${DATE}/${ARCHIVE}/dSYMs/${PRODUCT_NAME}.app.dSYM"
APP="${HOME}/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives/${DATE}/${ARCHIVE}/Products/Applications/${PRODUCT_NAME}.app"
#/usr/bin/open -a /Applications/Utilities/Console.app $LOG
#echo -n "Creating .ipa for ${PRODUCT_NAME}... " > $LOG
${GROWL} "Creating .ipa for ${PRODUCT_NAME}"
/bin/rm "/tmp/${PRODUCT_NAME}.ipa"
/usr/bin/xcrun -sdk iphoneos PackageApplication -v "${APP}" -o "/tmp/${PRODUCT_NAME}.ipa" --sign "${SIGNING_IDENTITY}" --embed "${PROVISIONING_PROFILE}"
#echo "done." >> $LOG
${GROWL} "Created .ipa for ${PRODUCT_NAME}"
#echo -n "Zipping .dSYM for ${PRODUCT_NAME}..." >> $LOG
${GROWL} "Zipping .dSYM for ${PRODUCT_NAME}"
/bin/rm "/tmp/${PRODUCT_NAME}.dSYM.zip"
/usr/bin/zip -r "/tmp/${PRODUCT_NAME}.dSYM.zip" "${DSYM}"
#echo "done." >> $LOG
${GROWL} "Created .dSYM for ${PRODUCT_NAME}"
#echo -n "Uploading to TestFlight... " >> $LOG
${GROWL} "Uploading to TestFlight"
/usr/bin/curl "http://testflightapp.com/api/builds.json" \
-F file=#"/tmp/${PRODUCT_NAME}.ipa" \
-F dsym=#"/tmp/${PRODUCT_NAME}.dSYM.zip" \
-F api_token="${API_TOKEN}" \
-F team_token="${TEAM_TOKEN}" \
-F notes="Build uploaded automatically from Xcode."
#echo "done." >> $LOG
${GROWL} "Uploaded to TestFlight"
/usr/bin/open "https://testflightapp.com/dashboard/builds/"
3) Reveal provision profile in finder: go to Organazier/Devices/Provision profiles, then right mouse on your profile, and click "Reveal in finder". Copy profile name and paste to PROVISIONING_PROFILE variable instead of <YOUR-PROFILE-NAME>
4) Open terminal and install terminal-notifier:
sudo gem install terminal-notifier
5) You're ready :)

I've also created a ruby gem for this if you want to integrate this into rake tasks:
gem install testflight_upload
source on my github here

Here's a nice collection of utilities http://nomad-cli.com/
I ended up using Shenzen to automate builds and testflight deployments.

Here is one nice tutorial..may be useful for you:
http://developmentseed.org/blog/2011/sep/02/automating-development-uploads-testflight-xcode/

Shenzhen is discontinued, you can use pilot instead. It's a Ruby based tool to upload new builds and manage your beta testers. Under the hood it uses the iTunes Transporter and spaceship.

MultiBranding the same source code without using xcode

I have an app and I’d like to brand it as 3 different apps with different UI.
I don’t want to do using Xcode directly.
So far I found so many solutions that says create different targets and drag and drop the image like that
But I intend to do this branding work outside of Xcode


Help me out !
Now we can build the code without opening the Xcode
Branding

UI
App icon & other icons
iTunes Artwork

#** Creatting the build based on configuration ends **
The file is self-descriptive you can understand easily.
Just configure the values of variable in the file and call it like below
sh Branding.sh
FYI:
If you want some other icons also to be changed besides App Icon and iTunesArtwork
use cp command e.g
cp path/to/source path/to/destination
To know more info do cp man
With the above file you can do Branding for UI and Build Settings.
For functional branding , you have to keep
Brand specific URLs
Other inputs respective to a brand
in a separate plist file so that this things also can be changed according to respective brand while building the app
In coding side you can customise your application to read the values from plist like this
Function defintion:
func getPlistFile()->Dictionary<String,AnyObject>? {
var dictPlistFile:Dictionary<String,AnyObject>?
if let path = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("plistfile", ofType: "plist") {
if let dictValue = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: path) as? Dictionary<String, AnyObject> {
dictPlistFile=dictValue
}
}
return dictPlistFile
}
Function calling:
var Value=getPlistFile()?["Key"]
You can change the values of the key according to brand using the PlistBuddy while building the app
Here is the syntax
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :Key Value" plistfile.plist
Using Jenkins
We can effectively re-use the shell script here in jenkins
1.You have to parameterise all the variables in shell script in jenkins using Add Parameter... like in the below screenshot I have done for one variable like that you have to do it for all others
2.Choose Execute shell in the Build Step
3.Copy the script that is there in between Creating the build based on configuration starts and Creating the build based on configuration ends and paste it in Execute Shell
Note:
Resource Rules
There is a known bug Regarding ResourceRules of Xcode in some versions while building and packaging the app through non-xcode interface.
So it has to be run once to deactivate a validation for resource rules path in xcode.The resource rules path is deprecated feature and apple doesn't accept apps that comes with resource rules but if we build an app without using Xcode the validation error saying resource rules has not been found will arise to counter that we have to run the script only once.
xcode_fix_PackageApplicationResourceRules.sh
#!/bin/sh
# A script to patch xcrun PackageInstallation so that it doesn't use the deprecated --resource-rules
# See "Do not use the --resource-rules flag or ResourceRules.plist. They have been obsoleted and will be rejected."

}
if [[ $# -ne 1 ]]; then
echo "ERROR: invalid number of arguments"

exit -1
fi
perl -p -i'Orig' -e 'BEGIN{undef $/;} s/,resource-rules(.*sign}).*ResourceRules.plist"/$1/smg' "$pi"
echo $?
Unlock keychain
Whenever you run Branding.sh in terminal it will prompt username and password as its accessing system keychain
Whenever you run the Job in jenkins you will get "User Interaction Is Not Allowed" error
so to tackle this you have to follow the below steps
Open the Keychain Access
Right click on the private key
Select "Get Info"
Select "Access Control" tab
Click "Allow all applications to access this item"
Click "Save Changes"
Enter your password
Provisioning profile
if you ever get "No Matching Provisioning Profile Found" make sure you have double clicked and installed it via Xcode.
The moment you install you'll see UUID.mobileprovision in ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/
This UUID is the value inside mobile provision that means the provisioning profile is installed.
I hope this helps you

Distributing iOS App on App Store and Enterprise

TLDR :
A. Issue in exporting app with Enterprise Cert
Error : wildcard app id cannot be used to create in house provisioning
profiles
B. Right approach to distribute app on Enterprise and AppStore
We have been distributing apps on Apple's AppStore for years, Enterprise is new addition.
– App has Watch App and supports iOS 8+.
What is done so far:
– Two different dev accounts and certificates.
– Separate provisioning profiles on each accounts
– Build Config and Scheme for Enterprise a AppStore
– using Scheme/Config to switch between settings like bundleId, etc.
– Successfully Archive Enterprise Application
I have NOT created separate info.plist or entitlements (Do I need to?)
Issue: When I try to export Enterprise Archive, I am getting error
wildcard app id cannot be used to create in house provisioning
profiles<
I do have proper provisioning profiles created. None of them are wildcard, except created by Xcode.
I have read this post, which says needs to create different targets. That is overhead of keeping both the targets in sync.
Question:
bool itIsPossible = Can this be achieved with Configuration/Schemes?
if (itIsPossible){
– What else I need to create separate entitlements etc?
}else{
– Do I have to create new target to support Enterprise App?
– Separate Target for Watch and Extension?
– What else I need to create separately Info.plist, entitlements etc?
}
Using Targets
New targets do create some overhead (new files must be added to all relevant targets). New targets allow to easily compartmentalize which file goes where, provide a platform for separate plist & config, Unit Tests, etc.
Remember that App Store executable and Enterprise executable are two different applications, with different certificates and signatures. (1)
Separate target recommendations (from an actual product)
Shared Entitlements
PROJECT > TARGETS > General > Team > pick separate teams there
< yourTarget >.xconfig (optional & handy)
.plist (most likely, but not required)(2)
(1) Same can be said about Apple Watch executables
(2) Separate plist allows for runtime magic: single code controlled by resources.
It is quite easy to do if you can create separate build script for each application. No need to have separate target.
Here is my build script:
# Created by Nguyen Tuan on 10/8/14.
#!/bin/sh
AP_NAME="$1"
echo "App name $AP_NAME"
FILE_NAME="$2"
echo "FILE_NAME $FILE_NAME"

echo "SCHEME $SCHEME"
PROVISIONING_NAME="$4"
echo "provisioning $PROVISIONING_NAME"

echo "Please enter build number"
#BUILD_NUMBER=$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleVersion" "$PLIST")

BUILD_NUMBER=`git rev-list HEAD --count`
echo "Get provisioning file: UUID + name for $PROVISIONING_NAME"
if test -d ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles/; then

done
#echo PROVISIONING_UUID=$provi >> provisioning.properties
echo "selected profile $provi"
/usr/libexec/Plistbuddy -c "Set CFBundleVersion $BUILD_NUMBER" "$PLIST"
/usr/libexec/Plistbuddy -c "Set CFBundleIdentifier $BUNDLE_ID" "$PLIST"
xcodebuild -alltargets -configuration "$CONFIG" clean
xcodebuild -scheme $SCHEME PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER=$BUNDLE_ID ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO ARCHS="armv7 arm64" PROVISIONING_PROFILE=$provi PRODUCT_NAME="$AP_NAME" ASSETCATALOG_COMPILER_APPICON_NAME=$AP_ICON archive -archivePath "build/$PARENT_FOLDER/$FILE_NAME.xcarchive"
#xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath "build/$PARENT_FOLDER/$FILE_NAME.xcarchive" -exportPath "build/$PARENT_FOLDER"
#-exportOptionsPlist $PLIST
echo "export ipa file"
rm -r -f build/$PARENT_FOLDER/$FILE_NAME.ipa
sh $MY_PATH/create_ipa.sh build/$PARENT_FOLDER/$FILE_NAME.xcarchive build/$PARENT_FOLDER/$FILE_NAME.ipa
mv build/$PARENT_FOLDER/**You need to change this to your app name**/.ipa build/$PARENT_FOLDER/$FILE_NAME.ipa
rm -r -f $HOME/Dropbox/$FILE_NAME.ipa
cp build/$PARENT_FOLDER/$FILE_NAME.ipa $HOME/Dropbox/$FILE_NAME.ipa
rm -r -f "build/$CONFIG-iphoneos"
echo "copy xcarchive file into organizer"
sh $MY_PATH/copy_resource.sh build/$PARENT_FOLDER/$FILE_NAME.xcarchive $MY_NAME
And then create two build command, one for enterprise build and one for app store build, something like this:
AP_NAME="ABCD"
FILE_NAME="An App Name"
SCHEME="Scheme for enterprise build"
PROVISIONING_NAME="Expected provisioning profile, what is shown in XCode"
BUNDLE_ID="app bundle Id"
AP_ICON="custom icon if need?"
PARENT_FOLDER="the folder that will contains the build"
CONFIG="Release"
#Goto working folder
MY_PATH="`dirname \"$0\"`"
sh $MY_PATH/build.sh "$AP_NAME" "$FILE_NAME" "$SCHEME" "$PROVISIONING_NAME" "$BUNDLE_ID" "$AP_ICON" "$PARENT_FOLDER" "$CONFIG"
In case you need the copy_resource script:
path=$1
user=$2
echo $path
filename=$(basename "$path")
extension="${filename##*.}"
filename="${filename%.*}"
now=`date +%Y-%m-%d`
et=`date +%H:%M:%S`
PATH="/Users/$user/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives/$now"
echo $PATH
/bin/mkdir -p $PATH
PATH=$PATH/$filename$et.$extension
/bin/mv $path $PATH
From now on, just run the command and you will see a build either in working folder or in Xcode Organizer
It seems like the provisioning profile is not set correctly.
The easiest way of doing this is to create an additional configuration.
Select the project in the navigator. Then duplicate the Release configuration and rename it to Enterprise Distribution or Enterprise Release.
Then select your target and go to Build Settings. There you can unfold the settings for Code Signing Identity, Provisioning Profile. You also need to use a different bundle identifier.
Check what configuration you use in the archive scheme too.
We had the error
Wildcard app id cannot be used to create in house provisioning
profiles
We solved it by manually adding a Distribution (In House) Provisioning Profile in the Apple Developer Portal...

How to symbolicate crash logs using the .xcarchive file?

I am having issues extracting the dsym file from .xcarchive to symbolicate crash logs. I understand that .xcarchive contains both the .app files and .dsym files. Normally you should be able to right click on the xcarchive file and selecct "Show Package Contents" (link). However "Show Package Contents" does not show up for me.
I also attempted to symbolicate the crash logs manually by using symbolicatecrash and giving it the xcarchive file (link). However it would still return crash logs that were not symbolicated.
Would anyone know what could be going on here? Any help is appreciated, Thank you!
I have prepared a script which takes two parameters,
MyApp.crash
MyApp.xcarchive
And gracefully output the MyApp_symbolicated.crash
Scripts:
#!/bin/bash
if [ "$#" -ne 2 ]; then
echo "Argument missing [symbolicate #logLocation #xcarchiveLocation]"
exit 0
fi
if test -e "$1"; then
echo "$1 exists"
else
echo "$1 does not exist!"
exit 1
fi
if test -e "$2"; then
echo "$2 exists"
else
echo "$2 does not exist!"
exit 1
fi

outputfile="$nfile"_symbolicated.crash
echo $nfile
desymfile="$archive"/dSYMs/*.dSYM
$command -v "$crashlog" "$desymfile" > "$outputfile"
How to use:
create a file symbolicate in /usr/local/bin/
Put the above code in symbolicate file
set execute permission with chmod 777 symbolicate
Run from wherever in your location with proper params
output will be generated in same directory of crash file.
Plug an iOS Device into the Machine that contains the archive in the designated archives folder.
Open the devices window in Xcode.
Open device logs.
Drag an drop your crash report into the list of logs of the device. Wait until it gets resymbolicated.

How do I deploy automated builds to TestFlight from an Xcode Bot?

I spent a good amount of time formatting the mentioned blog with code, screenshots, and etc. that is too much effort to duplicate here on Stack Overflow. That said I figured the community would want some help in this arena (I struggled for a long time figuring it all out), so I posted this question and respective answer. If you still think that the intent of this post is nefarious, please comment as such and I'll delete it!
The question is: how do I configure my fancy new Xcode server with Bots to continuously integrate and send completed builds to my testers via test flight? To me, this seems like the holy grail of CI in the iOS world, so I spent a lot of time to figure it out.
The process involves some manual work that just doesn't seem to get done properly by the XCode server software in Mavericks, at least in the initial release. It took me a lot of time and even some scripting to figure it all out and make it work, and I'm happy to share the results.
For the sake of adding value to this question, I've posted the post-op script that you should run during the Archive process below. The link to my blog below provides step by step details should you need more information.

Hope it helps! Please sound off with your comments or feedback.
Xcode 12
Use xcodebuild command-line tool
1. Create a Distribution Certificate
2. Create a Distribution Profile
3. Add "Post-Integration Script"
[Test Flight] Script
# Remove & Copy assets
rm -r ${XCS_SOURCE_DIR}/Archive
cp -R ${XCS_OUTPUT_DIR}/ ${XCS_SOURCE_DIR}/Archive
# Upload to TestFlight
IFS=$'\n'
ARCHIVE_PATH=$(find ${XCS_SOURCE_DIR}${PRODUCT_NAME} -name "BeBe.xcarchive")
IFS=$' '
IFS=$'\n'
PLIST_PATH=$(find ${XCS_SOURCE_DIR}${PRODUCT_NAME} -name "exportOptions.plist")
IFS=$' '
xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath $ARCHIVE_PATH -exportOptionsPlist $PLIST_PATH -exportPath $ARCHIVE_PATH
4. Add your "exportOption.plist" file in your project folder.
To export an ipa file, you need the"exportOption.plist" file.
exportOption.plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>method</key>
<string>app-store</string>
<key>destination</key>
<string>upload</string>
</dict>
</plist>
5. Run your Bot
6. Check your build

Jenkins + iOS + TestFlight API

I installed a Jenkins and startet a Project with the Git Plugin, Xcode Plugin and the Testflight Plugin.
I can create automatic builds with the setup, but it is failing at the point on creating the .ipa files for Testflight.
The problem are at Debug and Release settings in different ways though…
If i try to create a .ipa via the Debug settings it will fail at the point that there is no build/Debug-iphoneos folder (i tried to turn of the clean option but it didn't helped). But the Xcode Build is not failing on the command line
When i try to switch to Release the linker is failing (ld).
Whithout the .ipa files i can't submit to Testflight and get a automated Test distributing.
Here is the script I'm using. (Obviously I removed the personal information, but you should be fine to understand it).

I imagine the Scheme your build is targeting is incorrect.
Additionally, TestFlight has a plugin for Jenkins so you can script your build process and execute the upload to TestFlight using the their Jenkins Plugin. I have provided a build script example that works for me via manual command line and under Jenkins CI.
If you would like to see the full setup, you can find a iOS/Git/TestFlight tutorial here: Jenkins iOS – Git, xcodebuild, TestFlight
