After using hbuilderx or apicloud cloud packaging, an ipa file will be generated, but the iphone cannot directly install the ipa file, and the ipa file needs to be put on the shelf before it can be installed and used. So how to put it on the shelves?
There are no tutorials for hbuilderx and apicloud, and Apple officially recommends using xcode to upload ipa, and xcode needs to be installed on a mac computer, and the volume is also very large. So we don't use the official method here. Below we use Banana Cloud to upload ipa, and the following is a detailed upload tutorial:
(1) Log in to the Apple Developer Center, click on the app under app store connect, and enter the following interface to check whether the app has been created. Note that the package ID of the created app must be consistent with the appId (bundle ID) we packaged.
(2) Click on the app name to enter the app details page, where you can fill in the listing information.
(3) The first and most difficult item is that we need to provide screenshots with various resolutions. Our general company does not have such a variety of test equipment.
Here, we can use the auxiliary tool for listing, Banana Cloud Editor, to take screenshots
The screenshot interface generated by Banana Cloud is as follows:
(4) Then, pull down on the app detailed interface of the Apple Developer Center, and you can see that it will ask us to upload the build version, but its official tools such as xcode can only be installed on mac computers, so here we also Use the banana cloud compilation tool in the previous step to upload ipa.
(5) Switch to the background of Banana Cloud Editing and upload the ipa.
(6) During the upload process, enter the account number of the Apple Developer Center and the upload-specific password, as shown in the figure below
It should be noted that the upload special password is not the login password. Please refer to the tutorial below the upload interface to first go to the Apple developer website to set the special password.
After the banana cloud editor is successfully uploaded, about half an hour later, it will appear in the build version of the Apple Developer Center and can be selected. Then other information is textual information, just fill in according to the actual content of your app, and then submit it for review.
However, it should be noted that the app on the shelf must be official, and there cannot be any test or test words, nor can there be words such as "this module is under development" indicating that the app is not yet complete. Otherwise, it will be rejected if it is submitted for review.
