Xcode Cloud Setup

Use Xcode Cloud to build the iPhone app without owning a Mac. This still uses Apple's official signing and TestFlight flow, but the app does not have to be published on the App Store.

Development Distribution

Use TestFlight (Internal Testing Only) for development builds. Internal testing makes builds available to App Store Connect users you invite; it does not list or publish the app publicly.

App Store Connect

Create a new app record:

  • Name: Computer Use
  • Bundle ID: com.peytontolbert.mobilecomputeruse
  • SKU: any unique internal value, for example mobile-computer-use
  • Platform: iOS

Xcode Cloud Workflow

Create a workflow for:

  • Workspace: apps/mobile/ios/App/App.xcworkspace
  • Scheme: App
  • Archive action distribution: TestFlight (Internal Testing Only)
  • Branch: main

The repo includes:

apps/mobile/ios/App/ci_scripts/ci_post_clone.sh

Xcode Cloud runs that script after cloning. It installs Node if needed, runs npm ci, validates the app shell, and runs npx cap sync ios before Xcode builds the native project.

Before enabling TestFlight distribution, confirm the app record and bundle ID exist in App Store Connect:

com.peytontolbert.mobilecomputeruse

In Xcode Cloud, keep signing automatic and select the Apple Developer team that owns that bundle ID.

Local iOS Work

On a Mac:

cd apps/mobile
npm ci
npm run sync
npm run open:ios

Then use Xcode to select your team, run on device, or configure Xcode Cloud.
