[Interest] Building iOS from command line

[Jérôme Godbout]

Hi,
I have an Info.plist that I have into my project. I have the following entry into my Info.plist file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
         <key>CFBundleDisplayName</key>
         <string>${PRODUCT_NAME}</string>
         <key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
         <string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME}</string>
         <key>CFBundleGetInfoString</key>
         <string>Created by Qt/QMake</string>
         <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
         <string>$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER)</string>
         <key>CFBundleName</key>
         <string>${PRODUCT_NAME}</string>
         <key>CFBundlePackageType</key>
         <string>APPL</string>
    ...
</dict>

From my .pro:
Q_PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER.value = ca.amotus.NubitusApp
From my ios .pri (I use the same .pri for all iOS application):
DISTFILES += ios/Info.plist
Q_PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER.name = PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER
QMAKE_MAC_XCODE_SETTINGS += Q_PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIERQMAKE_INFO_PLIST = ios/Info.plist

I was guessing the replacement should have happen. or does the above variables only work when inside QtCreator GUI?

Hi Jérôme,

We have a separate Info.plist for command line build, it should solve the bundle ID issue. I don’t remember exactly the details, it was couple of years ago. But I did check - there is an Info.plist in the repository. I suspect Qt Creator generates one too, but I rely on the one from Xcode.

Regards,
    Boris Ralchenko.

Hi,
I’m trying to build my project from my CI system to generate the .ipa (and stop releasing by hand over. But I seem to be missing something into my way of doing it (I managed to do it for Android, armv7/armv8 .apk and .aab). Here is my steps raw command line steps (not the provisioning, certificate and the keychain are installed and work with a Xamarin and Unity application with the same setup, the question is not about those parts).

I’m building on lastest MacOS X, xcode is up to date and Qt 5.15.0


"/Users/Shared/Qt/5.15.0/ios/bin/qmake" Nubitus.pro -spec macx-ios-clang CONFIG+=release CONFIG+=iphoneos CONFIG+=device CONFIG+=qtquickcompiler -after

make -f Makefile qmake_all

make

The Qmake generate the makefile, make qmake_all work just fine, but the make build give me the following error:

Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Development provisioning profiles matching 'com.yourcompany.NubitusApp'

but my .pro clearly indicate

Q_PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER.value = ca.amotus.NubitusApp

When building from inside QtCreator this work and the provisioning is also working just fine. so my question: Why is the build any different? is QtCreator doing any extra steps not print into the output? is there any env variables required for Q_PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER to be used? Did I miss a step?!

Extra points question: will this generate an .ipa or .app ? How does one generate a .ipa from the command lines out of the result build by Qt make?

Thanks,
