Hi there

I was wondering if it is possible to make an ios app with codename one and the signing optie with the apple id. i don't have a mac but do have an ipad. Is there a way? And so how do i start with my code in codename one, what are the steps.

Hi,

all Codename One apps are signed with an Apple id. You don't need a mac for this process. We have macs in the cloud that handle that.

You DO need that account. We generate a certificate through the official apple tool chain. We don't circumvent their security/signing process.

The crunch is uploading the app to the app store; you pretty much have to have a mac for that.

It's theoretically possible to do it from a simulated mac (virtualbox or the like) but it's a very

frustrating process to set up and doesn't work reliably.

Presumably, there's a way to rent a real mac desktop - what does codename1 use for build servers?

You'd still need a certificate for that.

@Date that has no bearing on his question. See macincloud.com we have the capability of automating that stage of submission too but we haven't gotten around to it.
