Running on a Physical Device

In addition to issuing the command to send to a connected physical iOS device:

./gradlew ios:launchIOSDevice --info --stacktrace

which is defined in the robovm gradle plugin, we must manage signing and certificates to get our application installed correctly.

There are two ways to do this, the easiest being to let Xcode manage the singing automatically, requiring a minimal setup as described below.

To set up automatic management of certificates and signing for a Quorum RoboVM project with Xcode:

• First create a blank Xcode project, opening Xcode and going to File->New->Project->iOS->App

• Once this project has been generated, navigate to the Signing & Capabilities panel of the project

• Ensure that the Automatically manage signing box is checked

• Ensure that the bundle identifier in the Xcode project is set to the app.id used in the robovm.properties file

  Example: app.id=org.quorumlanguage

• Select a team, provisioning profile, and Signing Certificate. Some of these may be generated and filled in when selecting a team.

  Note: A good reference on these code signing files and their generation is available here

Once this project has been created, and indexed by Xcode, when running the install on a physical device Xcode is now able to associate the bundle identifier to our app.id, allowing for automatic management of signing and certificates.

The signing identity and certificates can also be managed from the build.gradle script located within the iOS project subfolder, where this can be configured as follows for ipa creation:

robovm {
    iosSignIdentity = "your signing identity"
    iosProvisioningProfile = "your provisioning profile"
    iosSkipSigning = false
    stdoutFifo = ""
    stderrFifo = ""
}
