Sigh

Because you would rather spend your time building stuff than fighting provisioning

Tired of manually creating, renewing and downloading your provisioning profiles?

sigh handles all that for you. Just run sigh and it will do the rest.

Features

Download the latest provisioning profile for your app
Renew a provisioning profile, when it has expired
Repair a provisioning profile, when it is broken
Create a new provisioning profile, if it doesn't exist already
Supports App Store, Ad Hoc and Development profiles
Support for multiple Apple accounts, storing your credentials securely in the Keychain
Support for multiple Teams

Why not let Xcode do the work?

sigh can easily be integrated into your CI-server (e.g. Jenkins)
Xcode sometimes invalidates all existing profiles (Proof)
You have control over what happens
You still get to have the signing files, which you can then use for your build scripts or store in git

See sigh in action:

Installation

sudo gem install sigh

Make sure, you have the latest version of the Xcode command line tools installed:

xcode-select --install

Install phantomjs (this is needed to control the Apple Developer Portal)

brew update && brew install phantomjs

If you don't already have homebrew installed, install it here.

Usage

sigh

Yes, that's the whole command!

sigh will create, repair and download profiles for the App Store by default.

You can pass your bundle identifier and username like this:

sigh -a at.felixkrause.app -u username

If you want to generate an Ad Hoc profile instead of an App Store profile:

sigh --adhoc

If you want to generate a Development profile:

sigh --development

By default, sigh will install the downloaded profile on your machine. If you just want to generate the profile and skip the installation, use the following flag:

sigh --skip_install

Environment Variables

In case you prefer environment variables:

SIGH_USERNAME
SIGH_APP_IDENTIFIER
SIGH_TEAM_ID (The exact name of your preferred team for this account)

How does it work?

sigh will access the iOS Dev Center to download, renew or generate the .mobileprovision file. Check out the full source code: developer_center.rb.

How is my password stored?

sigh uses the password manager from Deliver. Take a look the Deliver README for more information.
