Submitting the App to iTunes Connect

Create the Production Build

1. Clear out your prior build artifacts

   $ rm -rf .meteor/local/cordova-build $ rm -rf ../<app-name>-build

2. Create the build

   $ meteor build ../<app-name>-build --server http://<app-server> --mobile-settings settings.json

3. Deploy your server API to Modulus (or where ever)

   $ modulus deploy

Note that if you need to switch based on environment variables in your mobile-config.js file, like this:

if (this.process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
  App.configurePlugin('com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect', {
    APP_ID: 'XXXXXX', // production FB app ID
    APP_NAME: 'My App'
  });
}
else {
  App.configurePlugin('com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect', {
    APP_ID: 'XXXXXX', // test FB app ID
    APP_NAME: 'My App Development'
  });
}

then you can run your build like this:

$ NODE_ENV=production meteor build ../<app-name>-build --server http://<app-server> --mobile-settings settings.json

Configure the App in Xcode

open .meteor/local/cordova-build/platforms/ios/<app-name>.xcodeproj

In the General tab:

1. From the Identity section, select the appropriate team.

In the Build Settings tab:

1. From the Code Signing section, Code Signing Identity > Release, select the appropriate Distribution profile.

When Xcode logs into the Apple Developer portal, it will download all the provisioning profiles. A profile is tied to an Bundle ID and a certificate (among other things). The certificate is tied to a private key that lives on a single machine.

Deployment Settings:

1. From the Deployment section, select iOS 7.0 for the iOS Deployment Target.
2. Set your Devices, select iPhone, iPad, or Universal if you've built in support for both.
3. Make sure no iOS device is plugged into your computer. Select iOS Device from the build target menu.

Create an Archive:

1. Select Product menu > Archive.
2. When the archiving is complete, the archive list opens. Click the archive you just made, and click Validate. Select the appropriate team. Click Validate.

Submit:

1. If validation is successful, click Submit and follow the prompts.
