App Store Deployment

Table of Contents

Overview

Publish mobile applications to official app stores with proper code signing, versioning, testing, and submission procedures.

When to Use

  • Publishing apps to App Store and Google Play
  • Managing app versions and releases
  • Configuring signing certificates and provisioning profiles
  • Automating build and deployment processes
  • Managing app updates and rollouts

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# Create development and distribution signing certificates
# Step 1: Generate Certificate Signing Request (CSR) in Keychain Access
# Step 2: Create App ID in Apple Developer Portal
# Step 3: Create provisioning profiles (Development, Distribution)

# Xcode configuration for signing
# Set Team ID, Bundle Identifier, and select provisioning profiles
# Build Settings:
# - Code Sign Identity: "iPhone Distribution"
# - Provisioning Profile: Select appropriate profile
# - Code Sign Style: Automatic (recommended)

# Info.plist settings
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<plist version="1.0">

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Use signed certificates and provisioning profiles
  • Automate builds with CI/CD
  • Test on real devices before submission
  • Keep version numbers consistent
  • Document deployment procedures
  • Use environment-specific configurations
  • Implement proper error tracking
  • Monitor app performance post-launch
  • Plan rollout strategy
  • Keep backup of signing materials
  • Test offline functionality
  • Maintain release notes

❌ DON'T

  • Commit signing materials to git
  • Skip device testing
  • Release untested code
  • Ignore store policies
  • Use hardcoded API keys
  • Skip security reviews
  • Deploy without monitoring
  • Ignore crash reports
  • Make large version jumps
  • Use invalid certificates
  • Deploy without backups
  • Release during holidays
