I'm trying to automate the process of building apps for our clients using bash scripts running on a Mac Mini Server (OSX 10.7).
My script is based on the spectacularly useful script from github originally posted at https://gist.github.com/949831
I'm building the app using xcodebuild, and then signing and embedding the mobileprovision file using xcrun.
When I do all this with a mobileprovision file I manually installed into Xcode using the GUI (e.g. double-clicking) it works fine. If I simply try to use a mobileprovision file copied onto the server with SCP it fails (Code Sign error: Provisioning profile '123abc123' can't be found.)
Presumably this is because the file isn't 'installed'.
Is there any way to install the mobileprovision file from the terminal? I'm using SSH so using things such as the 'open' command won't work.
Thanks!
Since asking this question, I've built a solution myself. The secret is to simply copy the file to the ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/ folder, but (here's the tricky bit) renamed to [The UUID].mobileprovision.
The UUID is held inside a text part of the file itself (in a plist). Unfortunately, the file also includes binary so 'defaults read' cannot read it. Luckily this guy has built a small command line utility to get the UUID (and some other things out again).
Here's my full working script:
