Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 13, 2014 #2 There are many tutorials about this topic. It is the same process whether you compile your ipa with B4i or Xcode. The "special" steps with B4i are: - Change the key folder to a new folder (Tools - Configure Paths). Now create a new store certificate and provisioning profile like you previously did. - Compile your app in Release mode. Don't try to install it on the device as it will not work. Download the ipa file if you are using the remote builder (Tools - Build Server - Download Last Built App). Log in to iTunes Connect and create a new app. This can be done from any browser. Now you need to upload your ipa file. This step can only be done on a Mac computer. You need to open Application Loader and chooser the ipa file. iTunes Connect is pretty annoying to work with and they recently changed it a bit and it is now more confusing. However after "fighting" with it a bit you will be able to publish your app.

ilan Expert Licensed User Longtime User Dec 1, 2014 #12 Certification: Provision file: NOTE that you need to create those keys in a different folder then the testing key. because when you use those key you wont be able to run the app in your device. this is only for publishing the app. i have 2 folders when i am testing my app i use the normal key folder and when i want to publish the app i change the path in b4i settings to the publish key folder (app wont be istall on device!!! with those keys) Good luck !

A Allan Cameron Member Licensed User Longtime User Dec 6, 2014 #16 Well, I eventually got this sorted by reinstalling the distribution certificate and provisioning file several times following the sequence in Erel's video. I am not sure what I did wrong in the attempts that didn't work but it eventually worked out. Thanks again for the video. I would not have manged without it!

Click to expand... Do you mean, to be able to share the app it should be uploaded with a Mac like if it were going to be revised by Apple?? Or can I upload it from Windows?
