IOS Application to Test Flight and Transporter

[FabDev 8]

Hello,

 

I'am trying to upload an application to Apple Store in TestFlight

Problem on my Mac in PAServer\Scratch-dir my application is an .app (extension).

And Transporter (Apple application) need an .api application.

How to convert an .app to .api ? Or how to obtain an .api with Delphi ?

Or does .API is only avalaible for "Application Store" and "Ad Hoc" Configuration ?

 

I'am using Delphi 12.1

Yes, .IPA (not .API) files are built with this configuration. You'll need a Distribution Certificate and a Provisioning Profile to match. Please read here: https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Athens/en/Deploying_Your_iOS_Application_for_Submission_to_the_App_Store

Oops, yes, .IPA (not API) the end of the week is tough! 😉 

Some says that : Move the .app folder into a new folder named "Payload," then compress it into a zip file and change the file extension from .zip to .ipa.

I tried it without success.

 

Anyway, thanks Dave for your confirmation.

Wherever that information comes from, it's totally wrong.
