<p>Sencha Architect is a visual app builder that empowers a developer (and a development team) to design, develop, and deploy apps from a single and integrated environment. It also provides support for Ext JS and Sencha Touch development.</p> <p>Sencha Architect App Development is a practical, hands-on guide that will teach you how to develop a complete application with Ext JS and Sencha Touch. You will learn everything from creating the project, including creating the models, views, controllers and stores, to the build to production. Along the way, this book also highlights the Sencha Architect features that will help you to improve your productivity.</p> <p>Sencha Architect App Development starts by describing Sencha Architect, the Toolbox, Project Inspector, Confi Panel, Toolbar, the Canvas: Design View, and Code Editor.</p> <p>You will then learn how to develop a complete application with Ext JS using the MVC architecture, and also how to integrate Sencha Architect with server side code such as PHP and MySQL.

The configurations are the same for iOS and Android (that we have set up on the previous topic). Now, if we want to test on a real device, we simply need to change the platform to iOS or Android as demonstrated in the previous screenshot.

iOS

Testing an app on a real Apple device requires a few more steps. We first need to create a provisioning profile on the iOS developer center. And to have an account for the iOS developer center (https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/overview.action), you need to pay 99 USD annually to Apple. But if you only want to emulate the app, you do not need to pay anything!

So the first step is to create the provisioning profile. Make sure the applicationId (App ID) is the same as set on the packager. You also need to set the bundleSeedId (you can also find what your bundleSeedId is on your iOS developer account). You need to download the provisioning...
