As part of the countinues integration process of my iPhone application, I want to create a process that will automatically upload the app (.ipa) file to the apple app store. I already managed to create the package and validate it. Is there a way to upload the ipa file to the appstore via command line?

  2. Create a new keychain Item Named: Xcode:itunesconnect.apple.com provide your credentials to itunes connect.

  3. From the command line: xcrun -sdk iphoneos Validation -online -upload -verbose "path to ipa"
