Does anyone know how to get the .ipa file for my iPhone environment within IBM worklight?
Inside your iPad environment -> native folder you can find the xCode project file named YourAppNameipad.xcodeproj. Open the file will open the xCode with your current project.
Else right Click your app folder RunAs -> Run As xCode project will open the project in xCode.
After that you can follow the normal procedure to build the IPA.
Select iOS device
Product -> Archive
Please read the training materials IBM provides.
Worklight Studio, the Eclipse plug-in, does not generate the .ipa file for you.
Only Xcode does that, and so in order to "get" the .ipa, you need to actually Build the Xcode project that Worklight Studio generates, in Xcode.
Read here how to get the .ipa file from Xcode.

I'm new to react-native, I've seen tutorials but everyone uses expo. I downloaded this project where they don't use expo. I want to compile this application for android, to finally get an .apk
This application already has a folder called "Android" but inside it does not have its respective .apk. How can I generate it?
this is the repository:
https://github.com/zsajjad/BusinessCard
It would be great if you can attach screenshots of how I should do it
Note. I have the latest version of android studio and I don't see the option of "build"
commands like "gradlew" from the console, they don't work, it's as if I didn't have that command installed
Following instructions for build apk using android studio
Hope you installed node and react native on your machine. If not
please follow the link to install it.Install node and react native
open your command prompt or terminal and redirect to your download project - cd /Businesscard Master (change it according to your project location)
Now enter - npm install
Enter - react-native link
Follow the android related linking instructions on following link react native camera
Hope you know about android camera and storage permissions.
same thing for react native text detector. Because your downloaded project have that packages in package.json
Now open your project android folder in android studio using open existing android project.
Then select build your project from android studio build menu and run it also
Generate apk using build menu- same process you have to follow for native android project
You don't need to use the CLI, that's needlessly complicated and it obscures what Android Studio is actually doing. Here's all you need to do.
Open the whole /Android/ folder in Android Studio. This is your "project" similar to how you open a *.xed file in XCode. Except in Android Studio, you just open up the whole folder to get the build.
Android Studio will now prepare your project using Gradle. If there are any errors in the preparation it will tell you about them. Assuming your gradle and Android Studio versions are compatible and you got no errors, you're now ready to emulate, debug and create a production build. At this point the workflow is similar to using XCode. You'll see emulators under Tools -> AVD Manager.
In the file menus go to Build->Generate APK. You can choose between signed APKs, debug APKs and so on. You'll need the key file if you're signing the APK on your computer, otherwise there's also Google Play signing after you upload the APK.
TL;DR: Just open your /Android/ folder in Android Studio.
Side note: When Android Studio gives you popups to upgrade stuff don't do it. NEVER upgrade Gradle or Android Studio unless the RN / Expo team specifically ask you. This will break your whole project and you will need to rebuild the platform.
i have an app having no issue when run on iphone simulator but when upload to the itune store it have validate and upload to the app store button disabled as shown in image
Probably it could be related to how you signed the IPA.
Check you provisioning profiles and certificate in your release configuration.
You can export your package as save for iOS app store deployment,
and upload with application loader.
application loadercan be open in XCode -> open developer tool.
The type of your archive Generic Xcode Archiveis incorrect.
To debug :
Try opening it (right Click > Show In finder > Right Click > Show package content...) to see what is in there appart from your app
Look in your project Build Phases what are the Target Dependencies
source: Cannot generate iOS App archive in xcode
source: Application Archiving in Xcode
I am working on hybrid Apps over IBM Mobile First Foundation on eclipse,I want to build an android app of the project, but when i configure the android SDK location and click on apply, nothing happens
Help!
The question is not clear enough... what are you applying? where? are you getting any errors, if yes, what are they?
When using MobileFirst Studio in Eclipse, the Android project can be generated in two ways.
By using the Google ADT tools.
Install the Eclipse plug-in and re-build the project by right-clicking the application folder and selecting Run As > Run on MobileFirst Development Server
By providing the path to Android Studio.
First install Android Studio and then, in Eclipse, navigate to File > Preferences > MobileFirst. Provide the path to the folder containing the executable. For example in Mac OS X that would be /Applications.
Then right-click on the Android environment folder and select Run As > Android Studio project.
Note: be sure not to convert the project to Gradle structure - this is currently not supported.
My environment :
Eclipse sdk 3.7.2
Worklight pluin 5.0.5
Android sdk 2.2
First I tried a simple Hello World, everything works fine, android native project was created and I see the corresponding apk file was generated after a build and deploy.
Next I imported a sample project, successfully got it run on the test (localhost) server, able to see the expected result on the android Mobile Browser Simulator but the problem now is I am not seeing the corresponding android apk file got generated (the android native project was created). No errors on the logs, Any idea what could be the problem? How one debug such a problem.
APK will be generated under \bin\ folder once you run your app for the first time.
Connect your Android device to dev machine via USB cable (assuming you got Android SDK etc installed), right click on Android project and do Run as->Android app.
The app will be installed and started on Android device. APK will be generated in \bin folder.
In general, you don't need the device, same thing can be done with emulator.
You can also do an export on the android application project. This is what you would do if you are looking at doing some key signing. This is the way you would want to export it if you are uploading to Google play or an enterprise app store.
Keep in mind, Worklight doesn't build your .ipa, .apk, or etc. It builds you compile ready resources. It will build you the folder structure and the project layers needed to build in the corresponding Native Environment (for apple, you would export to xcode, build it, and run).
I've updated to the latest version of Xcode 4.5.1 and I have some troubles. When I build debug version of the project and run it on iOS simulator everything works just fine. But when I switched to release flavour in project schema and build project nothing happened. I mean project runs on simulator, but Build folder of my project remains empty.
I tried to follow this advice
Why doesn't Xcode 4 create any products?
but in the created folder DerivedData there are only logs and indexes folders and no .app files.
So the question is: How to get executable on real iOS6 device .app file in Xcode 4.5.1? I'm really a newbie and the delivery/deployment process in iOS is unknown to me.
Change your choice of deployment devices to an actual iOS device (don't use the simulator). After that, execute an "Archive" build (Product -> Archive). This option will be grayed out if you don't choose to deploy to an actual iOS device.
