Wish run release with debug certificates

[sorex]

Erel,

It would be nice if we had an option to run our app as release version but with debug certificate/prov. profile.

Now we need to manually change the certificate & provisioning profile for the #if release just to be able to run our app at real speed.

so next to #if debug, #if release something like #if releasetest or testrelease would be ideal.

It is already possible. Change #If Release to #If StoreBuild and add a store build configuration.
This will allow you to compile your app in any mode you like.

 

[sorex]

cool, I was not aware of that.

what I don't get is how the compiler knows which release style he has to pick.

I only see Build Server > Build release app

 

[sorex]

ok, I get it.

I need to add a custom build and use that reference.

I thought the mentioned StoreBuild was a build-in option like debug & release.

So do I just need to put the new build config right under the normal release one?

like...

#If DEBUG
   #CertificateFile: ios_development.cer
   #ProvisionFile: game_dev.mobileprovision
#END IF
#If RELEASE
  #CertificateFile: ios_distribution.cer
   #ProvisionFile: game.mobileprovision    
#END IF
#If RELEASETEST
   #CertificateFile: ios_development.cer
   #ProvisionFile: Development.mobileprovision
#END IF

Note that you can also use #Else If

#If DEBUG
   #CertificateFile: ios_development.cer
   #ProvisionFile: game_dev.mobileprovision
#Else If RELEASETEST
   #CertificateFile: ios_development.cer
   #ProvisionFile: Development.mobileprovision
#Else
  #CertificateFile: ios_distribution.cer
   #ProvisionFile: game.mobileprovision   
#End If

excellent, thanks!

Note that you can also use #Else If

#If DEBUG
   #CertificateFile: ios_development.cer
   #ProvisionFile: game_dev.mobileprovision
#Else If RELEASETEST
   #CertificateFile: ios_development.cer
   #ProvisionFile: Development.mobileprovision
#Else
  #CertificateFile: ios_distribution.cer
   #ProvisionFile: game.mobileprovision  
#End If

This is good if the app has only one version, but if the app has multiple versions?

    #If Lite
        #ApplicationLabel: B4-Lite
    #End If

    #If Pro
        #ApplicationLabel: B4-Pro
    #End If

    #If DEBUG
        #CertificateFile: ios_development.cer
        #ProvisionFile: developer.mobileprovision
    #End If   
   
    #If RELEASE
       #CertificateFile: ios_distribution.cer
       #ProvisionFile: store.mobileprovision
    #END IF

It would be better this solution:
