![Shenzhen](https://raw.github.com/mattt/nomad-cli.com/assets/shenzhen-banner.png)

Create `.ipa` files and then distribute them with [TestFlight](https://testflightapp.com/), [HockeyApp](http://www.hockeyapp.net), [DeployGate](https://deploygate.com), or even through [iTunes Connect](https://itunesconnect.apple.com)—all from the command line!

Less cumbersome than clicking around in Xcode, and less hassle than rolling your own build script--Shenzhen radically improves the process of getting new builds out to testers and enterprises.

> `shenzhen` is named for [深圳](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shenzhen), the Chinese city famous for its role as the center of manufacturing for a majority of consumer electronics, including iPhones and iPads.
> It's part of a series of world-class command-line utilities for iOS development, which includes [Cupertino](https://github.com/mattt/cupertino) (Apple Dev Center management), [Houston](https://github.com/mattt/houston) (Push Notifications), [Venice](https://github.com/mattt/venice) (In-App Purchase Receipt Verification), and [Dubai](https://github.com/mattt/dubai) (Passbook pass generation).

## Installation

```
$ gem install shenzhen
```

### JSON Build Error

Users running Mac OS X Mavericks with Xcode 5.1 may encounter an error when attempting to install the `json` gem dependency. As per the [Xcode 5.1 Release Notes](https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/releasenotes/DeveloperTools/RN-Xcode/Introduction/Introduction.html):

> The Apple LLVM compiler in Xcode 5.1 treats unrecognized command-line options as errors. This issue has been seen when building both Python native extensions and Ruby Gems, where some invalid compiler options are currently specified.

To work around this, install the `json` gem first with the following command:

```
$ ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future gem install json
```

## Usage

> For best results, set your environment localization to UTF-8, with `$ export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"`. Otherwise, Shenzhen may return unexpectedly with the error "invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII".

Shenzhen adds the `ipa` command to your PATH:

```

### Building & Distribution

```
$ cd /path/to/iOS Project/
$ ipa build
$ ipa distribute
```

#### TestFlight Distribution

```
$ ipa distribute:testflight -a API_TOKEN -T TEAM_TOKEN
```

> Shenzhen will load credentials from the environment variables `TESTFLIGHT_API_TOKEN` and `TESTFLIGHT_TEAM_TOKEN` unless otherwise specified.

#### HockeyApp Distribution

```
$ ipa distribute:hockeyapp --token API_TOKEN
```

> Shenzhen will load credentials from the environment variable `HOCKEYAPP_API_TOKEN` unless otherwise specified.

#### DeployGate Distribution

```
$ ipa distribute:deploygate -a API_TOKEN -u USER_NAME
```

> Shenzhen will load credentials from the environment variable `DEPLOYGATE_API_TOKEN` and `DEPLOYGATE_USER_NAME` unless otherwise specified.

#### FTP Distribution

```
$ ipa distribute:ftp --host HOST -u USER -p PASSWORD -P FTP_PATH
```

#### SFTP Distribution

```
$ ipa distribute:sftp --host HOST -u USER -p PASSWORD -P FTP_PATH
```

#### Amazon S3 Distribution

```
$ ipa distribute:s3 -a ACCESS_KEY_ID -s SECRET_ACCESS_KEY -b BUCKET
```

> Shenzhen will load credentials from the environment variables `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` and `AWS_REGION` unless otherwise specified.

#### iTunes Connect Distribution

    $ ipa distribute:itunesconnect -a me@email.com -p myitunesconnectpassword --upload

> Shenzhen will load credentials from the environment variables `ITUNES_CONNECT_ACCOUNT` and `ITUNES_CONNECT_PASSWORD` unless otherwise specified. If only an account is provided, the keychain will be searched for a matching entry.
>
> If the `--upload` flag is omitted, Shenzen will validate the given credentials and check that the app is in the 'Waiting for Upload' state on iTunes Connect but will not upload the .ipa
>
> For a fully hands-free upload, in a CI environment for example, ensure your iTunes Connect credentials are stored in your keychain, and that the keychain item has the Validation app in it's 'Always allow access' list.  Running Shenzhen once with the `--save-keychain` flag, and clicking `Always Allow` on the prompt will set this up for you.
