Crashlytics beta distribution in Xcode / IOS

Question

Trying to figure out how to do beta test distribution via Crashlytics. Their cryptic instructions state that all you have to do is "build for archive" but that command doesn't exist anymore. I've created an archive (Product => Archive) and exported ad hoc release, but Crashlytics doesn't pick it up.

How do I upload a release?

Answer 1

If the app doesn't pick up your new archive, the way to manually distribute it is a little hidden. On the Beta tab in the app, first click "ACTIVE", then click "ARCHIVES":

Answer 2

Quit the Mac app, then run this command to clear the local cache:

rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.crashlytics.mac

Answer 3

I never got the local app to work, but did succeed using this command line approach: /path/to/Crashlytics.framework/submit <API_KEY> <BUILD_SECRET> -ipaPath /path/to/my.ipa -emails [email protected],[email protected] -notesPath ~/Notes/ReleaseNotes.txt -groupAliases GroupAlias,GroupAlias2
