Add-Ons

It’s been a busy month working on APT and there’s more exciting things coming. If you’re interested in trying out the latest beta, you can download it here:

Version 3.5 brings a number of improvements and bug fixes to the multi-team capability as well as an all-new iOS app bundling feature! This feature is primarily for the times when the Xojo IDE can’t or won’t sign or build the app bundle for upload to the App Store but doesn’t give you enough information why. The IDE must still be able to build your app however.

The way this works is, if the Xojo IDE gives you an error when building for the App Store:

  1. Select the Team for the account that you will be releasing the app from using the Teams menu.
  2. From the Package menu, select Build.
  3. APT will ask you for two things:
    1. The .app bundle for your app
    2. The entitlements plist file (clicking cancel will continue building without entitlements)

Once this information is gathered, APT will attempt to sign and bundle your app. If any errors occur, you will receive a message showing as much information as APT could gather to help you figure out what went wrong.

NOTE: If you have a build earlier than 3.5b11, you may have to manually download this version as we fixed a bug in the updater recently which prevented the update window from appearing.

So far so good on my end with 3.5. Also a great development on the new Package functionality. Personally I’ve never run into a problem with Xojo signing my apps, but this could be worth its weight in gold if/when someone stumbles across this kind of problem.

I do have one request and one question…

Request
Any chance of moving “>= Xcode 16” to the preferences? I would imagine this won’t be changed too often and is a bit of an eye sore.

Question
Can you speak to how you actually put the “>= Xcode 16” in the menubar? Assuming it’s some kind of declare here with a MouseDown event.

I believe this will address an issue I have with my iOS apps; thank you!

I assume you mean the one in the title bar that’s next to the maximize button?

We started there. The feedback I’ve gotten so far is that people with multiple projects are having to switch quite often. I suspect the answer is that this feature will be moved or completely disappear once it’s no longer an option, which will most-likely happen in the spring when Apple makes the iOS 18.x SDK mandatory and thus Xcode 16 will also be.

Also, remember that this tool may not only used by people who use Xojo.
