xcode and ad-hoc-distribution: can i bring xcode to automatically make an .ipa?

can i make, that when compiling in the adhoc-profile, i made for xcode, pack it into a zip complaining to itunes or an ipa, give it an automatic name (optional ... appname_date_time.zip) and copy it to a network-path ?

so, what is really my problem: i think i understood, that in a past-build-phase i can run a shell-script. b开发者_JAVA技巧ut i haven´t done many shell-scripting now. can i zip on osx with the shell and for this case in a simple way ?

and can i let the message "no provisioned iphone connected" be gone ?

why ? i want, that some company-internal people can load my software without email-spamming on each new release.

ok, build and archive builds at least the .ipa automatically. the rest might be just a second click and a script. so if no one has a more elegant solution, this is enough

Check out the BetaBuilder gem - https://github.com/lukeredpath/betabuilder. It worked about 90% of the way for me - I had to re-route its guts a bit to make it work, but my fork (https://github.com/dts/betabuilder) works for me. Hopefully, you can cobble together a solution for you (it was worth the effort for me!)

You can automate this, but need to get after the code signing, which is behind the last build phase you can add to Xcode. So the solution is creating a new aggregate target and define the shell script in there.

Here is an example of the whole process including a readme file on how to set it up: https://github.com/TheRealKerni/HockeyKit/tree/develop/client/iOS/Beta%20Automatisation
