MacRuby App Store manual deployment steps

Submitting to the App Store

First, install Developer certs from Apple's Developer portal

To Build the Application:

  • Select "Your App" from your Scheme menu, NOT "Deployment"
  • Select Product > Archive to build for Release
  • Once completed, the Organizer window will open
  • Select your recent build and press the "Validate" button - make sure this passes!
  • Press the "Share" button, select "Application" and save to your filesystem

To Compile and Sign:

  • Navigate to the app saved from Xcode
  • Embed MacRuby and compile the app with the following command:

macruby_deploy --embed --compile YourApp.app/

  • Sign the app with the Developer Application cert:

codesign -f -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: Your Company" YourApp.app/

(This may be redundant. Do it anyways.) To Distribute:

  • Build an installer package using "productbuild"

productbuild --component YourApp.app/ /Applications --sign "3rd Party Mac Developer Installer: Your Company" YourApp

  • Launch "Application Loader"
  • Enter your credentials and select the correct app and version you want to submit
  • Select the .pkg file you just created, and hit upload.
