How can I build for release/distribution on the Xc

Question

Build for debug is just press on the PLAY symbol, but I don't know how to Build for distribution/release?

Answer 1

XCode>Product>Schemes>Edit Schemes>Run>Build Configuration

Answer 2

You can use command line tool to build the release version. Next to your project folder, i.e.

$ ls
...
Foo.xcodeproj
...

Type the following build command:

$ xcodebuild -configuration Release

Answer 3

The short answer is:

1. choose the iOS scheme from the drop-down near the run button from the menu bar
2. choose product > archive in the window that pops-up
3. click 'validate'
4. upon successful validation, click 'submit'

Answer 4

Product -> Archive, later, press the distribute button and check the option Export as Application or what you want

Answer 5

That part is now located under Schemes. If you edit your schemes you will see that you can set the debug/release/adhoc/distribution build config for each scheme.

Answer 6

To set the build configuration to Debug or Release, choose 'Edit Scheme' from the 'Product' menu.

Then you see a clear choice.

The Apple Transition Guide mentions a button at the top left of the Xcode screen, but I cannot see it in Xcode 4.3.
