Packaging My App

I'm ready to package my app. I've done everything according to the video on vimeo, however when I go to package it, everything seems like it's going properly, but then it opens up xcode and no zip file is created. It doesn't give me any sort of error that I can see.

Does anyone have any clue as to what's going wrong?

  • Are you referring to the *.ipa file? I think some people get that built automatically, but I don't and I don't know why.

    But here is how I create the *.ipa file:

    • Build the app using the distribution build mode of Titantium
    • Navigate to the project's build > iPhone > Release-iphonesos folder
    • If there is a *.ipa file as some get, just use it.
    • Otherwise create a new folder at that level called Payload
    • Move the project.app folder to inside the Payload folder
    • Zip the Payload folder
    • Rename project.zip to project.ipa

  • Thanks for the reply. Would it be too much trouble to ask for a link to that page on Apple's website? I am not familiar with xcode at all, and don't know how to package a project once I have it opened up. I built it, but it still isn't packaged.

    • How? Mine crashes, I tell it to install to iTunes when I'm working on my dev, and it doesnt work half the time and when it does it takes 10-15 minutes, and just says "Titanium Error", doesnt see my profiles.

      Do you have a better tutorial than the out of date ones hear?

  • I used to have packaging issues, but currently am not. It does "just work" for me. However, it is temperamental at times, and I think it's in Xcode and all of the certificate chains. I have had to re-provision the device a few times from Apple.

    Here is what I'd suggest you check: open Xcode, with your iPhone attached, and check to make sure that everything looks good: the device had a green status circle beside it, and all provisioning profiles are installed and not expired. No warning triangles anywhere.

    I just successfully uploaded another app to the store last night, and to package it all I did was:

    • load project in Titanium
    • on the distribute tab, click package button
    • open Xcode organizer
    • wait for quite a long time
    • watch as the new version appeared in Xcode under archived applications
    • click the app, verify, and upload to itunes connect from Xcode

  • Packaging in Titanium is crap. You need to open the xcode project file (in the resources/build/iphone directory) and then use the instructions on Apples website.
