Building xCode project and generating IPA file using Ant

Following is the procedure to generate IPA file.

Under “project settings” change “derived data location” to “project-relative”, and make it "DerivedData/dist/". If you want any other location, change the same in the code. This will be the location where ".app" file and all other project info is stored.

Set the values to the fields in CAPITAL LETTERS, and save the file as build.xml

-----------------------------------------------
<project default="buildAndPackage" basedir="." name="APP-FOLDER">
<property name="local.projectPath" location="WHERE THE PROJECT IS LOCATED" />
<property name="local.ipaPath" location="WHERE TO SAVE THE IPA FILE" />

<property name="app.id" value="APP-ID" />
<property name="scheme" value="APP-SCHEME(MOSTLY APP-ID)" />
<property name="version" value="VERSION-NO" />
<property name="distributorName" value="NAME USED IN IOS PROVISIONING PORTAL" />

<property name="ProvisioningProfile" location="WHERE YOU KEPT THE FILE" />
<property name="configuration" value="Release/debug/AdHocDistribution/AppStore SELECT THE APPROPRIATE" />

<target name="buildAndPackage">
<exec executable="/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild">
<arg value="-project" />
<arg value="${local.projectPath}/${app.id}.xcodeproj" />
<arg value="-scheme" />
<arg value="${scheme}" />
<arg value="-configuration" />
<arg value="${configuration}" />
<arg value="clean" />
<arg value="build" />
</exec>

<exec executable="xcrun">
<arg value="-sdk" />
<arg value="iphoneos" />
<arg value="PackageApplication" />
<arg value="-v" />
<arg value="${local.projectPath}/DerivedData/dist/Products/${configuration}-iphoneos/${app.id}.app" />
<arg value="-o" />
<arg value="${local.ipaPath}/${app.id}-${version}.ipa" />
<arg value="--sign" />
<arg value="iPhone Distribution: ${distributorName}" />
<arg value="--embed" />
<arg value="${ProvisioningProfile}" />
</exec>
</target>
</project>

--------------------------------

Then run it from command line by typing "ant"

Mac Yosemite : Ugly turned out to be Uglier and Ugliest

You might have read my review on Mac OSX Yosemite , The Good, bad and ugly. Now it turned out to be UGLIEST. No more words. Here's the image. If you are on Yosemite, you might be familiar with it. Most of the times, you get stuck on boot logo. I've seen complaints regarding it saying that fellow members are ignorant of it and they deny such possibility, even though many are still facing it. Workarounds suggested by our online friends: Just reboot your mac as many times it takes to your desktop. Boot into safe mode, by holding SHIFT and then reboot. Comment your workaround below, mine is the first one. If you are still on Mavericks, be there till Apple provides a fix for this.

Reverse Engineering : Android Dex files to Class files

In my previous post, we have seen how to extract the contents of img file . After extraction, you will find that most of the files have ".dex" extension. These are Compiled Android application code files. In order to convert them into executable format (.class or .jar), you can use dex2jar tool. Extract it to a proper location and open the terminal to this location. Now run the following command: ./d2j-dex2jar.sh <Path-to-dex_file> It will bundle the dex files into a jar file, and stores it in the current directory. dex2jar can also be used to convert dex files into variuos other formats. For detailed info, click here .
