Deploy .ipa file in App store generated by Phonegap?
Here is an overview of how to submit a PhoneGap app to the App Store aka iTunes Connect. Amazingly, PhoneGap doesn't seem to provide these instructions.
- In the iOS Provisioning Portal, create a distribution certificate. As part of this process you will use Keychain Manager to create a Distribution Certificate. Export this certificate to Certificates.p12 by right-clicking on it and choosing Export. Record the password because you will need it every time you do a build on build.phonegap.com.
- In the iOS Provisioning Portal create an app ID for your app.
- Create an App Store distribution profile and make sure you use the same private key/certificate to sign it as above. Download it.
- Now go to build.phonegap.com and go to your iOS build, and "add a key ...". Call it "App Store" and upload the .p12 file and the .mobileprovision file.
- Rebuild and download the IPA file from PhoneGap Build.
