If it is possible then please help me.

Answer 1

cordova build ios --device --release

you should have a file called build.json in cordova. In build.json, the content should like this

  "ios": {
    "debug": {
       "codeSignIdentitiy": "iPhone Development",
       "provisioningProfile": "*****"
    },
   "release": {
     "codeSignIdentitiy": "iPhone Distribution",
     "provisioningProfile": "******"
   }
 }

Answer 2

I know this is an old thread but I had the same issue and my answer might help more people.

In your cordova/phonegap project, you can write to a build.xcconfig for all your configuration needs. The file is located here: <project-dir>/platforms/ios/cordova/build.xcconfig

When your run cordova build ios with optional --release or --device , cordova will point to the file. This allows for easy configuration with minimal modification to cordova.

Answer 3

Just run

<project_dir>/platforms/ios/cordova/build.sh --release

This platforms/<platform>/cordova dir contains actual build script. You can take a look at it to check out how cordova do builds.

UPD. To make device build (ie with arm architecture, not for i386 emulator) pass --device parameter as well.

Answer 4

You should go on build.phonegap.com and create there an account with an email and a password. After, you login, there are steps:

1. Upload a zip of your project.
2. Start building it for first time.
3. Go on account (top left user icon) -> edit settings
4. Go to on Signing keys and add a new key by uploading the p12 and provisioning files
5. Unlock it using the password of the certificate.
6. Go on apps menu, you should have the app.
7. Press on app title in order to expand the builds
9. Select the key for IOS.

After that start a cmd window, make sure you have all requirements met (as is described here:http://docs.phonegap.com/en/3.0.0/guide_cli_index.md.html).
In that cmd window, you should perform following commands:
phonegap remote login -u <the account email> -p <the password>
phonegap remote build ios


In order to be all ok, you should be sure to have in config.json file the id of this new account.
Also, in order to perform the previous phonegap commands, you need to be in the folder of the project.

Please, be aware, the activation of the ios key is around 1 hour. If you want to do this automatically, you should first login, unlock the key, and build.
