#### Manual mobile app delivery, build and deployment processes

**You will need:**

- Developer Account for Installr App (or other service) **https://www.installrapp.com** provided by Your Organization
- Xcode IDE

**Configure Apple Developer Account:**

  https://help.apple.com/xcode/mac/current/#/dev8b4250b57 
- Add development **certificate**, probably you will need to configure that using **Keychain Access** app
- Add **App ID**
- Add test devices (requires device **UDID**)
- Configure **development** provision profile with App ID, certificates and devices lists and download that.

**Steps to follow for building the mobile app:**

- Open project in Xcode IDE
- Select project **target** and then select the **General** tab, there's some steps for signing process
- Use manual **signing**, check select for adding the provision profile, add the provision profile that you've downloaded before and select that
- Select the team, you should be able to select Your Organization team if you have configured Apple Developer Account correctly
- Signing certificate field should be filled automatically
- Execute **Product -> Archive**, process will take few minutes
- Export the **.ipa** file, download that
- Open Installr service and click the button **Upload New Version**
- Select **.ipa** file and load that
- Provide build information with **build number** and list of changes, like **Bug Fixes, Features, Updates** etc
- Next step is to invite the testers, testers will receive the emails with the install link. To have a possibility to install app the tester's devices should be added to Apple developer account before the build (you need UDID's to be added). **Attention!** If you need to add new person you should add device and regenerate the provision profile.
