AppMySite enables you to create the IPA file of your iOS app build that can be directly submitted to the Apple App Store for publishing.
To generate your iOS build, navigate to Download in your AppMySite account. Click on Build iOS app. You’ll be directed to the iOS Build Configuration screen. Follow the steps below:
Customize your iOS app's identity. In this section, you can change your app's bundle ID as desired and facilitate app migration.
Migrate my live app: If you’re transferring a live app from another platform, turn this toggle on. Submit the Bundle ID and the version number of your live app.
Customize my bundle identifiers: Enter the Bundle ID that you wish to identify your app with. It is typically in reverse domain format (com.example.app).
Configure the setting of your iOS app in this section. These settings are mandatory to create a build of your app.
Enable iPad support if your previously published iOS app supported iPad devices. If you’re generating an iOS build for the first time and wish to offer iPad support in, you can enable the toggle. Apple does not allow removing iPad support once it has been provided to your app users.
Enable iCloud Keychain to enable Keychain access within your app. With Keychain, your app users can keep their login credentials and other secure information updated across devices, enabling a better login experience. When you enable the toggle, a new domain field will be visible.
Domain name: Enter your website’s primary domain and click on download. Next, upload the file to your website’s root directory. You should be able to locate your website’s root directory in your hosting cPanel.
If you enable Keychain access, enable Associated Domains and AutoFill Credential Provider while creating your app identifier.
