Apple Provisioning Hell
We’re developing an ionic app for iOS and android, and handling the Apple provisioning/certificates/apn profile is hell. Just pure hell.
One of them most annoying messages is “Your account already has a valid iOS distribution certificate”. If my account already has a valid iOS dist. cert, why won’t you just get it and build the freaking thing?
After wasting craploads of time on the nonsese, I finally found Sigh. They had me at the first sentence:
Because you would rather spend your time building stuff than fighting provisioning
Just install it: sudo gem install sigh
And then run it: sigh
And that’s it. It will get, fix, download and install all the provisioning profiles, and you’ll save yourself hours of tweaking around with apple’s weird licensing logic.
Sigh is also a part of an open-source toolbox called fastlane, to easily facilitate iOS development, testing, installation and deployment.
