Publishing with ns publish

You may want to review a few specific store preparation details in the following before using ns publish:

You can execute the following command inside a NativeScript project using the CLI:

bash

ns publish ios

The command will prompt for your Apple ID and Password for authentication with iTunes Connect and then produce a release build and proceed to upload it to iTunes Connect.

Alternatively, you can use an existing build by running the following command:

bash

ns publish ios --ipa <path-to-ipa>

All of the parameters needed for publishing can be passed to the publish command directly:

bash

ns publish ios [<Apple ID> [<Password> [<Mobile Provisioning Profile Identifier> [<Code Sign Identity>]]]]]

For example, assuming that you want to issue a build using a mobile provision with an identifier d5d40f61-b303-4fc8-aea3-fbb229a8171c, you could run:

bash

ns publish ios my-apple-id my-password d5d40f61-b303-4fc8-aea3-fbb229a8171c "iPhone Distribution"

Note that the Code Sign Identity can be set to something generic like iPhone Distribution in order to let the build automatically detect a code sign identity.

You can also automate the uploads of already built packages:

bash

ns publish ios my-apple-id my-password --ipa /tmp/build/myIpa.ipa

For more information, run the following command:

bash

ns help publish ios
