How to upload .ipa file to itune from windows [closed]

Question

I've made an iPhone app and have a .ipa file containing the app binaries ready to upload.

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to upload the .ipa file to iTunes Connect from Windows.

Is this possible, or will I need to upload from a macOS system?

Answer 1

I was faced with the same problem when needing to upload an app from Windows. To solve it, I developed a cross-platform application. It is written in Node.js and works by mimicking the functionality of the Application Loader software in macOS.

It is available here: https://github.com/simonnilsson/ios-uploader

If you install it and have your .ipa file available it can be as simple as this to upload:

$ ios-uploader -u <username> -p <password> -f <path/to/app.ipa>

Answer 2

I use a Windows to submit all my Mac apps. I build it using phonegap and then I use a Virtual Mac OS X with Oracle VM Virtual Box for this.

Answer 3

No. Unfortunately, you need macOS to do this. Read Submitting Your App to the Store and follow the steps while using macOS.
