3 Easy Steps to Auto Publish Secured iOS Apps to Apple App Store

You can automatically distribute apps to the Apple App Store directly from Appdome.

1. Click on the Deploy Tab.
2. Enable or toggle “ON” Automatic Deploy in the App Deployment Section.
3. Choose App Store in the Deploy Service dropdown.

Fill in your Apple ID username and password.

Click on “Deploy My Built App” on the bottom right.

When you click on “Deploy My Built App”, a distribution script is generated and downloaded to your computer.
Following Apple regulations, all app developers are required to distribute their applications using the build-in development environment on MAC computers (e.g. xCode). The distribution script allows you to automatically complete the app distribution on your MAC.

Open a terminal window, And change the directory to the downloaded script location:

cd ~/Downloads/

Then, Run the downloaded Script:

./deploy.sh

The deployment process will take a few moments. Once successful, you’ll receive a message and an email notifying you that your enterprise app has been successfully distributed to the App Store.

After the deployment has been completed, make sure to log into the Itunes Connect portal and complete the app’s description and configuration.
