Facing an update error when uploading the ipa file of the iOS
application in order to update it on the Application Center of MFP.
There is a version 1.3 of the iOS application already uploaded on the
Application Center. Then built a new version 1.3.1 of the application
and created the ipa file. Opened the application on the Application
Center and selected the ipa file of the new version 1.3.1 from new file,
and then the following error occurred when Apply button is pressed.
"Cannot update application file: package and/or version are not
identical."
The identification information of the application is not changed.
What is the procedure to update the application with a new
version? Or, is it required to add the application as another application
every time they create a new version of the application?
If the app names/ package name is identical then it can be added as
a new application and since the version is different and same
application, it will be added under the same app with different version
numbers. The screenshots of the steps are attached. Please follow the same
steps to add new version of the same package name.
In essence, you need to upload the app in the main page by add application
and not by going into the app and adding the application as this is only
for making changes in the updated app by rewriting it and not adding a
newer version. So the issue will be solved if you upload the app same way shown in the screenshots.
Click on next and it will autofill the important details and give a description and add other optional functionalities and click submit.
If the package name is same, for example in the above sample all the package name has HybridEventSource in android. This is same in iOS apps too.

I currently have an app in the play store/app store but recently I started getting problems on my debug version so I decided to create a new react-native project and copy/paste all my code.
Can I build this APK/IPA from this new project and upload it to the store without problems? Will Android/Apple decline my request?
For Android as long as you use the same application id and the same keystore to sign the APK with you can recreate the app and submit it for review to add to store.
For Apple the important part is the bundle id. You need to set the bundle id as same and set the version number to correct one.
I would like to know which is the best way to distribute a Mac App's Update to my existing app users.
App is distribute out side the Mac App Store so can not use the app store to distribute the update
I would like to do similar to VyprVPN like Download the new version close the app install new version and relaunch the app and this whole thing done without any user interaction.
I want to do like, Application Installed on my user's Mac now I release new version of my Application then how can I update Application already installed ( Previous Version ) in my user's Mac.
Edits:
I tried to Implement the Sparkle Framework for app update features.
But when i try to update my app I receive the PopUp saying new version of application is available but when I tried to install the new version error occurs saying UPDATE Error An error occurred while downloading the update. Please try again later.
Now I could not find reason of this behaviour. Can any one help me in this?
Thanks in advance
You can build the Sparkle framework into your app, and then your app can discover and install future updates.
I'm currently trying to build the mobile client for IOS. There are 2 issue currently lingering:
The mobile client will be used for user to download the app from our test server. When i build, i run the Build Setting and Deploy Target script and tick the checkbox to deploy for another server. However i'm not sure the context path need to be put as what, the current default is /IBMAppCenter
When i try run the app center in the XCode simulator, the app center keep running with a loading icon. I check the log and found that it says:
ERROR: Plugin 'com.ibm.mobile.InstallerPlugin' not found, or is not a CDVPlugin.
Check your plugin mapping in config.xml
I check my native folder (ipad\native\CordovaLib) and true enough, the CDVPlugin was not in the plugin folder, but when i look into the Classes folder, the header (.h) and implementation (.m) files are there. How should i configure to make it work?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
About question 1:
The deploy target is irrelevant. It is only relevant for "normal" Worklight applications that are managed by a Worklight Console (so you must specify on which server your Worklight Console runs). But the Application Center client is not managed by any Worklight Console. All what you do is to build the environment, create the IPA and upload it to the Application Center server. Therefore, please only use the "Build all environments" menu item and ignore anything with deploy target!
See here: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/wrklight/v6r1m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.worklight.appadmin.doc%2Fappcenter%2Ft_ac_proj_imp_build.html
About question 2:
The Application Center mobile client for iOS should be in the iphone environment, not in the ipad environment. The code in the iphone environment folder should work for ipad as well but you cannot generate an ipad environment for the Application Center client, as well as you cannot delete the iphone environment and regenerated it via File > New > Environment, because when you do that, the libAppCenterInstallerLib.a gets deleted. You must take the project as it was in your original installation.
Please check IBMAppCenter/apps/AppCenter/iphone/native/appCenterLib. This should contain subdirectories (for Release, Debug ...) which contain libAppCenterInstallerLib.a. The error message that you see means that it cannot find this library; probably because you deleted the iphone environment or because you attempted to create an ipad environment.
I'm a newbie in Mac OSx & Objective-C development.
I'd like to ask some help on how to terminate as well as replacing an existing app (with an earlier version) when a later version of the app is being installed or upgraded?
I am aware about updating an app when a new version is available in the App Store or an external server. I've got that covered already. But this one is an implementation for a mac with no internet connection. Upgrading is done manually by installing the app whenever there's a new version available.
Behavior when installing:
It should check if there's an existing copy of the app in the system. It should prompt the user to continue and remove the app or cancel the installation.
If an existing copy of the app is currently running, it should prompt the user to quit the running copy of the app or cancel the installation. When the user selects to quit the app, it should automatically terminate the app and continue with the installation. The app with the previous version should be replaced by the newly installed copy of the app with the later version.
Any help would be much appreciated.
The PackageMaker can do all of this for you. Prepare an installer using this app by Apple. If you are using Mountain Lion then download it from
https://developer.apple.com/downloads "Auxiliary tools for Xcode"
Launch the application and click the edit button in the actions tab below preinstall actions.
In the sheet that is presented add the Quit application action.
I'm working about one application for iOS. Application is already on App Store. But in new version, I have to remove one from Localization languages (Germany). After this, i observed very strange behaviors: When i deploy application on my phone without old version previous application, then everything is okay - if i has iOS set to Germany, application is in English. But when i deploy it when old version is already installed, then application does not show English translation, but only keys form unexisting Germany version ("terms_header" and so...).
My question is: How application will behave, when i send new version to App Store, and users will updates their phones to new version of my application?
When you update the application on any iOS device, it's bundle resources always get updated. However you can test the scenario using
- Install old application from xcode with localization
- Test if localization is working properly
- Update application with new build from xcode
- Re-test the application by changing language.
During updates only user generated data stay intact and bundle resources get updated.
What happens if you remove the application from the organiser and then reinstall it?
Ok, i found it. There is the way to check, how application will behave when is updatet from App Store:
Remove application from device
Generate Archive from old version of your app via Xcode (Product->Archive)
Distribute archived application as Ad-Hoc Deployment
Repeat points 2 and 3. for NEW version off your application.
Put .ipa file with old version of your app into iTune.
Install it on you device via iTune and synchronize device.
Check old version of application on you device.
Put .ipa file with new version of your app into iTune.
Press "Update" in iTunes, and synchronize device.
Check new version of application on your device.
In this case, my application is works.
