I’m developing a Mac app that’s signed with a Developer ID. It uses Sparkle to auto-update itself, for the convenience of the alpha testers. I’m updating the app frequently, and finding that the steps to release a new build are fairly tedious:
- In Xcode choose Build > Archive
- In the Organizer window, press Distribute and click through a couple of panels to save a signed copy of the app
- In the Finder, zip the app and append the version number to the name of the zip file
- Upload the zip file to the server via SFTP (I use the Flow app for these steps)
- Upload the HTML release notes to the server
- Edit the appcast.xml file on the server to add a new <item> entry with all the right URLs pointing to the new version
I’m definitely not the first person to go through this, so I figure someone’s already been lazy enough to automate these steps, or at least some of them. Is there a solution out there for this?
