How to Set Up Your iOS App

Step-by-Step Guide for Setting Up Your iOS App

The goal of this guide is to walk you through the steps needed to set up the iOS settings in General Settings so that you can run the app on an iOS device.

Prerequisites

  • Apple Developer Account: You must have set up an Apple developer account, either as an organisation or as an individual. Click here to get started.

Now that you are an Apple Developer, it's time to link Your App Creator so we can upload your app.

Step 1: Bundle Identifier

Create a Bundle Identifier for your app. This can be be completed here. Make sure to select "Explicit". You can return later to enable additional features if needed, so you can leave all else as default for now.

This value will represent your app. In general, it will be in the format: "com.organisation-name.App-name" Click here for examples of what Apple uses.

Step 2: Create Your App

The next step is to create the app within App Store Connect. Log in and select " New App". Complete the form using the Bundle ID created in Step 1.

Step 3: Create a p8 certificate

The next step is to create a p8 certificate to allow Your App Creator to upload builds to your new App. For this, we need to return to the Apple developer portal's intergrations section, where we will create a new " App Store Connect API Key".

Once created, download the file and stay on this page, as the details will be needed for Step 4.

Step 4: Set Up Configuration

Now you have everything you need to complete the iOS Settings:

  • Bundle Identifier: This is what was created in Step 1.

  • Team ID: This can be found in the Developer Portal in the "Membership Details" section.

  • Upload the p8 file:This was created created in Step 3.

  • Key ID:This is shown next to the newly created key.

  • Issuer ID:This is on the same page, slightly higher up.

Step 5: Set up TestFlight

Your app is now ready to upload to Apple. Click the " Release" button in your project settings page within Your App Creator. Once the upload is completed, you should receive an email from Apple to notify you.

Next, go back into App Store Connect, navigate to your new app, then to the TestFlight tab. You should now see your release. On the right-hand side under " Testers" you can add yourself and anyone else, allowing the app to be downloaded and tested on real devices.
