Build to Xcode

[mocksu]

I have a mobile app developed using cn1 and deployed to apple app store through Xcode a few years ago. I have recently made some revisions of the app, and want to deploy it to the app store again.

The problem is that I've forgotten about how to go from Intellij to Xcode.

1. I already have an Apple Developer account
2. I have successfully built the app on the cn1 server
3. I am able to "Run in Simulator" in Intellij and see the changes of the app
4. I am able to "Local Build" to "Xcode iOS project" which automatically opens up Xcode and I can launch the app in the simulator there (although some new features are not working)

However, I don't see the .xcworkspace file being generated -- it's just not anywhere by any means.

Could you provide guidance on how to get a .xcworkspace file that I can use in Xcode? And why it works in simulator in intellij but not exactly as a local build on xcode?

Thanks so much and your help would be highly appreciated,

The path of least resistance is sending a build to the build servers. Assuming you're using maven and not ant make sure the version is 7.0.242 when running in the simulator and building. When you send a build to iOS it might fail if your certificate/provisioning are out of date, you would need to login to itunes to verify that all agreements are approved then run the certificate wizard to regenerate the certificate/provisioning for debug/release.

Sending a build for debug version is probably the smart first move to validate everything still works in the current version of Codename One as a lot has changed.

Building locally is non-trivial but you can do that too if you have a Mac. Use the xcode target in the IDE and when the build completels it should launch xcode. If it doesn't then there's probably some error/warning printed to the console.
