Prefill Distribution manifest information during iOS app signing


I sign my iOS app in XCode's archive manager for Ad-Hoc distribution for beta testers.

Every time I release a new beta version by pressing the Distribute App / Ad Hoc it asks for a Distribution manifest information with URLs to fill.

It's quite tedious to fill these fields every time, although these values don't change. Is it possible to pre-fill these fields by doing something in xcode project settings?


Solution

  • When you select Ad-Hoc distribution, simply uncheck the "Include manifest for over-the-air installation" option and you won't be prompted.

    You can use a previously generated manifest for the new version unless you want to change something; The version number in the manifest is purely informational and doesn't need to match the version number in your app bundle.
