How to test or deploy an App to an iOS device

Note: You need a computer running MacOS to do this.

To run your App in an iOS device (even when you are not connected to the Internet), you need to do the following:

  1. Build the IONIC code specific for the iOS platform
  2. Use Android Studio to compile this code for the iOS platform
  3. Test on your iOS device
  4. Eventually, put your App in the iTunes Store

Before we begin, please download (from the App Store) and install in your MacOSX computer the Xcode program. This program contains all the programming utilities required to create iOS apps (even from scratch).

1. Build the IONIC code specific for the iOS platform

For this, type ionic cordova build ios.

When successful, this process will create a subfolder of your project folder platforms, called ios. And, inside it, a file called 'MyModelApp.xcodeproj'.

2. Use Xcode to compile this code for the iOS platform

Open the 'MyModelApp.xcodeproj' file in Xcode. This will compile the project.

3. Test on your iOS device

Now, you are in Xcode and Apple's world. This means you need an Apple developer license and obtain a number of certificates and so-called profiles to be able to run the app in your iOS device (which you need to connect by cable to your computer). This is beyond this manual, we're afraid. But connect the decoy by cable to your computer and start by clicking Run. Fix then the problem you will get, one by one.

4. Eventually, put your App in the iTunes Store

This is a standard procedure and is beyond the scope of these instructions. Here are some hints and llinks:
