Hello,
Currently, I am creating the App IDs and certificates using the following procedures: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/MaintainingProfiles/MaintainingProfiles.html
However, I would like to automatize such process. In other words, create an App ID using some script or programming language.
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.
I'm pretty sure it's not possible. Creating the App ID for an app is a one-time process, so even if it were possible it wouldn't be worth the time it takes to automate it. And besides, we don't have access to the back end of that system anyway.
Thank you Bob!
What about the provisioning profiles, push certificate?
They have to be annualy renewed. Thus, perform the process for 100 apps manually takes considerable time/effort.
Regards.
Hmm. Yes, those might be worth automating. Still, I'm not sure it's possible. I know there's a way to automate iTunes Connect metadata (XML feeds), but I don't remember reading anything like that for anything else.
Apple seems to take steps against automated app generation/submittals, apparently to discourage bulk uploads, etc. I think that's a good thing, personally.
I double agree. Look at the state the www is in with Domain hogs. App ID hogs would be a n absolute nightmare, although Apple have some no-no's outlined regarding App ID hogging.
You probably have this figured out by now, but if not, look into Fastlane: https://fastlane.tools
