Trying to upload a Xamarin build to Hockeyapp I get this error.
When uploading to Hockeyapp, don't select an existing app name from a prior upload you did for another platform, choose to "create new application".
Now, it's worth mentioning you can use the same app name as a previous app, here's how I did it. I had already created an Android version of my app called MyApp within HockeyApp, when I tried to upload the UWP project I tried to select the previous app name from the dropdown titled "MyApp". You can't do this. Instead, I went into my project properties for my UWP app, then clicked on "Package Manifest" then click on Packaging and changed the "Package Display Name" to the same, in my case that was "MyApp".
When I run my Mac OS X Cocoa project, Xcode says build succeeded and the application opens, but never appears as installed. When I go to launchpad I can't find the application. Seems it is only emulated. I need to watch how is shown in the launchpad with the icon and the title. How can I install the application from the xcode?
I have xcode 6.1.
Need help please.
Thanks in advance.
Only Apps inside of /Applications and ~/Applications are displayed in Launchpad. When you launch from Xcode the apps are copied to a temporary build directory. So you have to copy your app to the correct location.
If you only want the Debug version, because you want to test your app, you can simply locate the app bundle in Finder:
Open the Products group in Xcode, right click the .app file and select "Show in Finder". In Finder simply drag & drop the app into the Applications folder.
If you need the Release version you can archive the app. Select Product/Archive in the Xcode menu.
In the Organizer you choose Export, in the Export wizard you select "Export as Mac Application". You can directly save it into the Applications directory, or save it somewhere else and copy or move it into the Applications directory
I have downloaded applicationloader_1.3.dmg and installed in the destination Macintosh HD.
The messages show The installation was successfully done. But, there is the ApplicationLoader app that doesn't appear anywhere.
How to install and get the Applicationloader app in Application->Utility folder?
I'm using Mac OSX version 10.6.8.
In more modern versions of Xcode, you'll find "Application Loader" under the "Xcode" menu (the first menu to the right of the Apple in the menu bar) and it'll be hiding in the "Open Developer Tools" submenu.
As of Xcode 11, "Application Loader is no longer included with Xcode", per the Xcode 11 Release Notes:
Xcode supports uploading apps from the Organizer window or from the command line with xcodebuild or xcrun altool. Application Loader is no longer included with Xcode. (29008875)
The Xcode Help page, Upload an app to App Store Connect, explains how to upload from the Xcode Archives Organizer.
Transporter
In October 2019, Apple announced the Transporter app for macOS, now available in the Mac App Store.
With Transporter you can:
Upload your .ipa or .pkg files to App Store Connect.
View delivery progress, including validation warnings, errors, and delivery logs, so you can quickly fix any issues.
See a history of past deliveries, including date and time.
This was previously a download from iTunes Connect for qualified partners (FAQ)
Notes on Using the Command Line
I've uploaded non-Xcode builds with xcrun altool --upload-app -f path-to-build.ipa -u your-account#apple.com. It won't show any progress, but you can see the network traffic in Activity Monitor. It finishes with No errors uploading 'path-to-build.ipa'.
See xcrun altool --help for usage. If your account has 2FA enabled, first visit https://appleid.apple.com/ and generate an app password.
You can download Application Loader from Itunes Connect.
Go to https://itunesconnect.apple.com/ , sign in, and click on Manage Your Apps.
There is a Download Application Loader link at the bottom.
At the time of writing, this link is: https://itunesconnect.apple.com/apploader/ApplicationLoader_3.1.dmg
I didn't find application loader anywhere, even in spotlight. You can open it through xcode.
Go to Xcode > Open Developer Tools > Application Loader
With Xcode 11, Application Loader has been removed. The Mac App store now has an app called Transporter.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/transporter/id1450874784?mt=12
For anyone finding this now (23/09/2019) Application Loader has been removed from Xcode.
If you have built the application in Xcode you should be able to follow these instructions to upload your and distribute your project Upload an app
I am not sure what to do if you have been given a .ipa file, for example when building an Expo project, I'll update this post when i have an answer.
In the mean time more info can be found here.
Developer Apple - Whats new
application loader page:
https://itunesconnect.apple.com/WebObjects/iTunesConnect.woa/ra/ng/resources_page
application loader 3.1:
https://itunesconnect.apple.com//apploader/ApplicationLoader_3.1.dmg
I have found in following way :
Go to https://itunesconnect.apple.com/ , sign in
Click "Resources and Help"
you can find it by going to xcode > open developer tool > application Loader
You can also upload an app using the Application Loader tool by using it from the terminal:
MacBook-Pro:~ denis$ altool --upload-app -f "ios-app.ipa" -u "applestore#email.com" -p "yourpassword"
To use altool from anywhere in the terminal you could add it to your
PATH env variable by typing in terminal:
MacBook-Pro:~ denis$ export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Application\ Loader.app/Contents/Frameworks/ITunesSoftwareService.framework/Support/
MacBook-Pro:~ denis$ source ~/.bash_profile
Now you can upload your app binary with the Transporter app.
You can download Transporter from Mac AppStore Here
Here apple mentioned its used for uploading.
Application Loader now moved to tools
https://itunespartner.apple.com/en/apps/tools
It's in Applications > Xcode > Show package contents > Contents > Applications - but easier to open from Xcode!
This error had me really scared because I make my app using Adobe AIR, so once my AIR builder (FDT) tells me it has packaged it, I really have very little I can do if it fails.
I got this error when I uploaded my ipa through the Application Loader (v3.0 [620]) that I had downloaded from the link they provide when submitting the binary. I tried uploading the ipa through Xcode > Application Loader (v3.6 [1020]) and it worked fine.
I am going to write to Apple about this once my blood pressure returns to normal.
With Application Loader now gone from Xcode I had a look around to see how to upload an .ipa file, since I use UE4 and I don't touch Xcode at all during development. Turns out it's pretty hidden away, You need to go to Window, Organiser, Archives. The archive will only appear if you ticked the "Generate Xcode Archive Package" tickbox in Project Settings. Then you just click Distribute and it's just does it.
Application Loader has been removed from XCode 11, the alternative app is Transporter. you can download it from the appstore with the following link:
https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/transporter/id1450874784?mt=12
Now you can use Transporter app instead of Application Loader.
Download Transporter App from this link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/transporter/id1450874784?mt=12
If anybody is still looking for the Application loader, it has been removed and replaced with Apple Transporter. Download from the mac AppStore.
The status of my Mac app is "Waiting for upload". When I launch Application Loader, I can select it from the list. However when I click on "Choose...", I cannot select the zip file of my app (or any other file of any kind). I tried uploading an iPhone app to see if Application Loader has a problem and it works just fine. Am I missing something here? or has Apple changed anything lately with the launch of XCode 4?. Thank you guys!
You need to give Application Loader a PKG for Mac apps or an IPA for iPhone apps. You cannot upload a ZIP file. You can generate these files in Xcode 4 by doing Product > Archive and then exporting from the Archives panel of the Organizer.
I downloaded Xcode 4 and used its new way of uploading binary files to iTunes Connect and it worked. But I really wonder why Application Loader didn't manage to upload the file.
I feel silly for having to ask this. I've got an application to a point where I want to send someone a beta to test on their machine, but I don't know how to get Xcode to produce a .app file for me to send to them. Help?
This has changed in Xcode 4.
Now Apps can be exported from the "Organizer"
If you haven't already, you need to create an Archive.
On the menu go to Product -> Archive
Once you're in the Organizer - Archives screen click Share or Distribute... (Xcode 4.3.3 or newer)
Then choose the format you want to export.
the app is generally under your
project_dir/build/Debug/Name Of App
project_dir/build/Release/Name Of App
project_dir/build/Distribution/Name Of App
depending on which configuration of build you did or want to send.
On Xcode 13 you need to choose Product -> Destination -> Any iOS device (arm64).
Then afterwards you can run Product -> Archive.
to get to the .app application you have to go into the folder where you created it into build the your app will be there
