![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/) or [HockeyApp](http://www.hockeyapp.net), 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 Shenzhen adds the `ipa` command to your PATH: $ ipa Build and distribute iOS apps (.ipa files) Commands: build Create a new .ipa file for your app distribute:testflight Distribute an .ipa file over TestFlight distribute:hockeyapp Distribute an .ipa file over HockeyApp distribute:ftp Distribute an .ipa file over FTP distribute:S3 Distribute an .ipa file over Amazon S3 info Show mobile provisioning information about an .ipa file help Display global or [command] help documentation.
