High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I distribute a Tauri app to the iOS App Store?

Enroll in the Apple Developer Program, register your bundle ID, create a distribution certificate and App Store provisioning profile, then run tauri ios build --export-method app-store-connect to generate an IPA. Upload it via altool, Transporter, or Xcode Organizer, then submit through App Store Connect.

How to upload a Tauri iOS build to App Store Connect from the command line?

Use xcrun altool --upload-app with your IPA file, an App Store Connect API key ID, and issuer ID. Store the .p8 key file in ~/.appstoreconnect/private_keys and reference it via the --apiKey and --apiIssuer flags.

Does Tauri iOS distribution require a Mac and paid Apple account?

Yes. iOS builds require a macOS machine with Xcode and the iOS SDK, and App Store distribution requires an Apple Developer Program membership costing $99 per year. Approval typically takes 24-48 hours after enrollment.

Why does my Tauri iOS build fail with code signing errors?

Signing errors usually mean the certificate is missing, the provisioning profile does not match the bundle ID, or capabilities changed after profile generation. Verify certificates with security find-identity -v -p codesigning and regenerate the profile if needed.

How do I set up TestFlight beta testing for a Tauri iOS app?

After uploading, wait 15-30 minutes for processing, then add internal testers (up to 100) directly in App Store Connect. External testing (up to 10,000 testers) requires creating a test group and passing Beta App Review first.

Can I automate Tauri iOS releases with GitHub Actions?

Yes. Use a macos-latest runner, import the distribution certificate into a temporary keychain, install the provisioning profile, build with tauri ios build --export-method app-store-connect, and upload with altool using stored API key secrets.
