iOS deployment
To use Bitrise to deploy an iOS app to any platform, you will need code signing files and you'll have to archive your Xcode project and export a signed IPA file.
Once you built your project and ran unit tests and UI tests on it, it’s time to deploy it.
To deploy an iOS app to any platform, you need:
-
Code signing files.
-
To archive your Xcode project and export a signed IPA file.
Our guides delve into the specifics of these two basic requirements and show how to use our Steps to deploy the app in the exact way you want to!
We also recommend checking out Release Management: it simplifies distributing your iOS and Android apps to testers or directly to app stores—all from one platform, from the CI you choose.
A project on Bitrise represents a Git repository that stores source code and has been connected to Bitrise to be able to run builds on it. As such, a Bitrise project isn't necessarily an actual mobile application: it's just the code on which you run builds with Bitrise.
A Step is a block of script execution that encapsulates a build task on Bitrise: the code to perform that task, the inputs and parameters you can define for the task, and the outputs the task generates.
