As you progress in app development, you’ll reach the stage where you want to run your apps in the simulator and on actual devices to share with others. This lesson explores the steps for using the iOS Simulator effectively to test your app for different devices. It also shows how anyone can deploy an app to their personal devices with just an Apple ID, making testing and sharing easy.
You’ll learn how to archive your iOS app in Xcode, a crucial step for sharing your app beyond your own devices. Toward the end, you’ll learn the steps needed to get your app into Apple’s App Store, which includes joining the Apple Developer Program. However, if you’re not ready to join the program, don’t worry! You can still follow along and learn valuable skills. Just make sure to pay enough attention so you can ace the quiz at the end! :]
By the end of this lesson, you’ll know how to:
- Build a basic iOS app for different device types and operating system versions.
- Archive your iOS app and create an .ipa file for distribution.
- Deploy your iOS app to the App Store using Xcode and App Store Connect.
