By: Nathan Walker, Nathanael J. Anderson

Overview of this book

NativeScript is an open source framework that is built by Progress in order to build truly native mobile apps with TypeScript, JavaScript or just Angular which is an open source framework built by Google that offers declarative templates, dependency injection, and fully featured modules to build rich applications. Angular’s versatile view handling architecture allows your views to be rendered as highly performant UI components native to iOS and Android mobile platforms. This decoupling of the view rendering layer in Angular combined with the power of native APIs with NativeScript have together created the powerful and exciting technology stack of NativeScript for Angular. This book focuses on the key concepts that you will need to know to build a NativeScript for Angular mobile app for iOS and Android. We’ll build a fun multitrack recording studio app, touching on powerful key concepts from both technologies that you may need to know when you start building an app of your own. The structure of the book takes the reader from a void to a deployed app on both the App Store and Google Play, serving as a reference guide and valuable tips/tricks handbook. By the end of this book, you’ll know majority of key concepts needed to build a successful NativeScript for Angular app.

Chapter 15. Deploying to the Apple App Store

In this chapter, we will focus on how to deploy our app to the Apple App Store. There are several important steps we will want to follow, so pay close attention to all the details presented here.

Whether you need to work with Signing Certificates to build a release target of our app, generate app icons and splash screens, or work within XCode to archive our app for upload to the App Store, we will cover all these topics in this chapter.

TJ VanToll, a NativeScript expert and developer advocate for Progress, wrote an excellent article detailing deployment steps titled 8 Steps to Publish Your NativeScript App to the App Stores (https://www.nativescript.org/blog/steps-to-publish-your-nativescript-app-to-the-app-stores). We will take excerpts from that article and expand on sections wherever possible here in this chapter and the next chapter.

There's no point in lying to you—releasing an iOS app to the iOS App Store is one of the most painful processes...
