X-Files

Archive & Export Xcode Projects With Poise and Grace

Requirements

This module requires a modern version of Node.js (>=4.x). As one may expect, you will also need Xcode installed and available via $PATH.

Examples

Create IPA from Xcode Project

The following example creates an .ipa file from an existing Xcode project (.xcodeproj file). This .ipa file can then be deployed to a device or distributed however you like.

xFiles = require('x-files');
app = new xFiles(
'FancyApp', // Xcode Scheme
'/Users/FancyPerson/FancyApp.xcodeproj' // Xcode Project


ole.log('> Creating archive...');
createArchive('./test').then((file) => {
console.log(`> Archive created. Exporting...`);
app.exportArchive(file, './test.ipa').then((ipa) => {
        console.log(`Done. We created ${ipa}!`);
    });
});
error) => {
console.log(`- Archive failed: ${error}`);

Known Issues

When using this library in conjunction with something like ios-deploy, ensure that you have removed any copies of the app that may have been previously installed via iTunes. Any copies left in iTunes will silently overwrite the version generated with x-files and installed with any tool such as ios-deploy, libimobiledevice, or similar.

Specifying which provisioning profile to use is not yet supported. This will be fixed.
