1.3.5. Apple (iOS)

All Build Assets should be deposited to build an app.

For iOS two certificates have to be uploaded in PLAYER360 and a bundle ID has to be assigned to build an iOS app:

• Developer Certificat (.p12 – file) + password
• Provisioning profiles (.mobileprovision – file)
  

In the following tutorial we will explain step by step how you can create them:
You need a MAC, an Apple account and participation in the Apple Developer Program (99$/y) to create it.

Once you have completed these steps, you can start creating the certificates directly.

Provisioning Profiles

Create App ID

1. click on App IDs for Identifiers
2. click on the + symbol on this page

4. select Explicit App ID
5. then enter a bundle ID. Note: This must correspond 100% exactly to the bundle ID that is entered in “Package Identifier iOS “ in your project.
Bundle IDs look like this for example: en.yourcompany.yourapp
