The tiapp.xml file holds keys for production and development environments.
I guess i could copy/paste and stuff in there to switch, but is it an easier way to test the production environment? Like some tag in the xml file such as "production=true" or something?
Your tiapp.xml should look something like:
<property name="appc-app-id" type="string">123</property>
<property name="acs-authbase-url-development" type="string">https://secure-identity.cloud.appcelerator.com</property>
<property name="acs-base-url-development" type="string">https://api.cloud.appcelerator.com</property>
<property name="acs-oauth-secret-development" type="string">123</property>
<property name="acs-oauth-key-development" type="string">123</property>
<property name="acs-api-key-development" type="string">123</property>
<property name="acs-username-development" type="string">appc_app_user_dev</property>
<property name="acs-password-development" type="string">123</property>
<property name="acs-authbase-url-production" type="string">https://secure-identity.cloud.appcelerator.com</property>
<property name="acs-base-url-production" type="string">https://api.cloud.appcelerator.com</property>
<property name="acs-oauth-secret-production" type="string">123</property>
<property name="acs-oauth-key-production" type="string">123</property>
<property name="acs-api-key-production" type="string">123</property>
<property name="acs-username-production" type="string">appc_app_user</property>
<property name="acs-password-production" type="string">123</property>
<property name="appc-org-id" type="string">123</property>
<property name="appc-creator-user-id" type="string">123</property>
As you can see the -development and -production suffix determine the environment it value will be used for. You can also leave out the suffix to use it on all environments.
