no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.

Overview

Publish mobile applications to official app stores with proper code signing, versioning, testing, and submission procedures.

When to Use

Publishing apps to App Store and Google Play
Managing app versions and releases
Configuring signing certificates and provisioning profiles
Automating build and deployment processes
Managing app updates and rollouts

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# Create development and distribution signing certificates
# Step 1: Generate Certificate Signing Request (CSR) in Keychain Access
# Step 2: Create App ID in Apple Developer Portal
# Step 3: Create provisioning profiles (Development, Distribution)

# Xcode configuration for signing
# Set Team ID, Bundle Identifier, and select provisioning profiles
# Build Settings:
# - Code Sign Identity: "iPhone Distribution"
# - Provisioning Profile: Select appropriate profile
# - Code Sign Style: Automatic (recommended)

# Info.plist settings
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
  <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
  <string>1.0.0</string>
  <key>CFBundleVersion</key>
  <string>1</string>
  <key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>

Best Practices

✅ DO

Use signed certificates and provisioning profiles
Automate builds with CI/CD
Test on real devices before submission
Keep version numbers consistent
Document deployment procedures
Use environment-specific configurations
Implement proper error tracking
Monitor app performance post-launch
Plan rollout strategy
Keep backup of signing materials
Test offline functionality
Maintain release notes

❌ DON'T

Commit signing materials to git
Skip device testing
Release untested code
Ignore store policies
Use hardcoded API keys
Skip security reviews
Deploy without monitoring
Ignore crash reports
Make large version jumps
Use invalid certificates
Deploy without backups
Release during holidays
