Build adhoc distribution for tester

1. 提供App測試包

1.1 提供測試包的步驟

Ref[8]

A: 註冊全部的測試設備

B: 將App進行歸檔

C: 用ad hoc provisioning profile 或者 team provisioning profile來對app進行簽名，而後導出歸檔文件。

D: 將App安裝到測試設備

E: 從測試人員處徵集crash report

 

1.2 Generic Xcode Archive

在將App archive 導出爲.ipa 包時有如下問題：

"Upload to App Store..." 和 "Validate..." 都是disable狀態。解決問題參考 Ref[9]

 

1.3 CFBundleSupportedPlatforms的值不對致使的Error

CJSDKBundle.bundle/Info.plist中包含如下key引發archive export時的錯誤。

CFBundleSupportedPlatforms該key的值不是iPhoneOS, 而是iPhoneSimulator。

 

1.4 provisioning profile 在本地Mac OS X系統中的位置

.mobileprovision 在Mac OS X上目錄位置

~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles

 

1.5 已經註冊的設備上是否須要安裝provisioning profile

A): .mobileprovision 也應該和 .ipa 同樣發給Tester。Ref[11]

B): 如何安裝 .mobileprovision 文件，參考Ref[11.2]/Ref[11.1]
