iOS Question How to get the ipa file using hosted builder

[rfresh]

I'm using the hosted builder. How do I get to my ipa file (release build)? I don't see it on my local windows 10 PC. Do I have to access it on the hosted builder? Is there a link explaining how to do this?

Thank you...

I haven't used B4i for a long time but if recall correctly the ipa-file should be inside the Archive.zip which you can find in the Objects folder.
See this: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/publishing-your-app-to-the-app-store.57528/

OK thanks. I wasn't able t find that tutorial somehow. I'll go through it and see how it goes. Thanks again.

I read the tutorial on creating the .ipa file.

I'm getting this error message when I try to build my release version. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

The provision profile and certificate do not match. Are you trying to make a store build?

 

[rfresh]

No. I'm trying to make a build to release on diawi.com.

You should use a distribution certificate and ad hoc provision profile. Use them with both debug builds and release builds. You should only change the provision profile (not the certificate) when you want to make a store build.

 

[rfresh]

I'm still getting a release compile error (see attachment file).

I changed my Release code block to this:

#If RELEASE
    #CertificateFile: ios_distribution.cer
    #ProvisionFile: ad_hoc.mobileprovision
#END IF

There must be something else that I have to do?

 

[rfresh]

I created an ad_hoc provisioning file but I'm still getting this error when I try to compile a debug or a release build:

Code Signing Error: Provisioning profile "ad_hoc" doesn't include any certificate for which the matching private key is installed in the keychain.

1. You should use the same certificate and provision profile in both debug modes and release modes. Switch to a different provision profile when you want to make a store build.

2. If this error persists then delete all keys and start from scratch.

 

[rfresh]

i deleted all the files in \keys and keys\test.

I regenerated the sign key inside B4i IDE.

I downloaded my ios_distribution.cer file and my ad_hoc.mobileprovision file from my Apple developer account and copied both of those file into the keys\test folder (see attachments).

I'm still getting the error below when I try to compile a debug build or a release build:

Code Signing Error: Provisioning profile "ad_hoc" doesn't include any certificate for which the matching private key is installed in the keychain.

How do I include the .cer file into my ad_hoc provisioning file? I must be missing a step somewhere.

I'm feeling lost and confused about all of this now!

Thank you...
