Rubymotion Enterprise Release

Question

How does one release to a staging environment or create a release for Enterprise/Ad Hoc distribution?

This is different from an AppStore release and requires a different provisioning profile, and optionally a different bundle id.

Answer 1

You'll need to add a conditional in your Rakefile and make sure that you have all the correct certificates and provisioning profiles for each type of build you want.

  app.release do    
    if ENV['staging'] == "true"
      app.codesign_certificate = "iPhone Distribution: Your Company's Enterprise Certificate"
      app.provisioning_profile = "distribution/Enterprise.mobileprovision"
      app.identifier = "com.yourcompany.appnameenterprise"
    else
      app.codesign_certificate = "iPhone Distribution: Your Company's App Store Release Certificate"
      app.provisioning_profile = "distribution/AppStore.mobileprovision"
      app.identifier = "com.yourcompany.appname"
    end
  end

To set up the staging ENV variable I have another rake task that sets it:

task :set_staging do
  ENV['staging'] = "true"
end

Then to actually release:

desc "Release Enterprise build"
task :enterprise_release => [
  :set_staging,
  "archive:distribution",
]
