Sideload applications for testing via Xcode?

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

The video for class 104 hastily goes through packaging for development testing on a development iphone via iTunes. However, my iPhone is not synchronized with my work computer's iTunes library; it is synched with my Mac at home.

When developing with the iOS SDK using XCode or other tools, this is not an issue as I build the applications and copy them to the phone with Xcode's "Organizer" window. This avoids me having to do an iTuns synch.

Is there a way to do this with appcelerator? I cannot use iTunes synch.

Go into your Titanium project folder and delete the "build" directory and all its contents, then you "launch" your project using the Titanium Developer tool. After which, navigate to: [project dir]/build/iphone/[appname].xcodeproj. Open that file and then use Xcode to do a rebuild.

Don't use iTunes. Use Xcode and tell it to install directly to your advice. It doesn't have to sync with iTunes at all, and is a lot faster than Titanium, which is wonky at best.

  • How would I have Titanium build the app but not launch and copy to iTunes, to use Xcode directly instead?
