produce is part of fastlane: connect all deployment tools into one streamlined workflow.
# Features
- **Create** new apps on both iTunes Connect and the Apple Developer Portal
- Support for **multiple Apple accounts**, storing your credentials securely in the Keychain
# Installation
sudo gem install produce
Make sure, you have the latest version of the Xcode command line tools installed:
xcode-select --install
Install phantomjs (this is needed to control the Apple Developer Portal)
brew update && brew install phantomjs
If you don't already have homebrew installed, [install it here](http://brew.sh/).
# Usage
produce
## Environment Variables
In case you want to pass more information to `produce`:
- `PRODUCE_USERNAME` (your iTunes Connect username)
- `PRODUCE_APP_IDENTIFIER` (the bundle identifier of the new app)
- `PRODUCE_APP_NAME` (the name of the new app)
- `PRODUCE_LANGUAGE` (the language you want your app to use, e.g. `English`, `German`)
- `PRODUCE_VERSION` (the initial app version)
- `PRODUCE_SKU` (the SKU you want to use, which must be a unique number)
- `PRODUCE_TEAM_ID` (the Team ID, e.g. `Q2CBPK58CA`)
- `PRODUCE_TEAM_NAME` (the Team Name, e.g. `Felix Krause`)
## [`fastlane`](https://github.com/KrauseFx/fastlane) Integration
Your `Fastfile` should look like this
```ruby
lane :appstore do
produce({
produce_username: 'felix@krausefx.com',
produce_app_identifier: 'com.krausefx.app',
produce_app_name: 'MyApp',
produce_language: 'English',
produce_version: '1.0',
produce_sku: 123,
produce_team_name: 'SunApps GmbH' # only necessary when in multiple teams
})
deliver
end
```
To use the newly generated app in `deliver`, you need to add this line to your `Deliverfile`:
```ruby
apple_id ENV['PRODUCE_APPLE_ID']
```
This will tell `deliver`, which `App ID` to use, since the app is not yet available in the App Store.
# How does it work?
```produce``` will access the ```iOS Dev Center``` to create your `App ID`. Check out the full source code: [developer_center.rb](https://github.com/KrauseFx/produce/blob/master/lib/produce/developer_center.rb).
After finishing the first step, `produce` will access `iTunes Connect` to create the new app with some initial values. Check out the full source code: [itunes_connect.rb](https://github.com/KrauseFx/produce/blob/master/lib/produce/itunes_connect.rb).
You'll still have to fill out the remaining information (like screenshots, app description and pricing). You can use [deliver](https://github.com/KrauseFx/deliver) to upload your app metadata using a CLI
## How is my password stored?
```produce``` uses the [password manager](https://github.com/KrauseFx/CredentialsManager) from `fastlane`. Take a look the [CredentialsManager README](https://github.com/KrauseFx/CredentialsManager) for more information.
# Tips
