Gem Version

motion-installr

Just like motion-testflight and motion-hockeyapp, motion-installr is a gem to make it easy to configure your application for ad-hoc distribution, but unlike the overly complicated TestFlight and HockeyApp, everything is super easy with Installr. Also I'm not being paid to run this, I just really like Installr.

Installation

Add this line to your RubyMotion app's Gemfile:

gem 'motion-installr'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install motion-installr

And require it in your Rakefile:

require 'motion-installr'

Usage

Once you've got it installed, you're going to need a account with Installr, so head on over and sign up for one of their free plans that lets you share with 1-5 testers.

With your account set up, you're going to need 3 things. A distribution certificate and provisioning profile, which you can create in the iOS dev center, and to find your Installr API key, which you can generate and copy from 'My Account' on the Installr website.

For instructions on setting up your certificates and profiles, watch Episode 22 of MotionInMotion - "Distribute your RubyMotion apps with TestFlight and HockeyApp".

Now for the super easy part.

Inside of your setup block in your Rakefile, configure the following.

Motion::Project::App.setup do |app|
  # ...
  app.installrapp do
    app.codesign_certificate = 'iPhone Distribution: Jane Doe (S0M3T3AM1D)'
    app.provisioning_profile = '/path/to/your/provisioning/profile.mobileprovision'
    app.entitlements['get-task-allow'] = false
    app.installr_api_token = 'YOUR API TOKEN HERE'
  end
  # ...
end

Super simple, just set these four settings.

Now you can run rake installr notes="My Release Notes" to push a build to Installr and then invite your testers.

Note that notes="My Release Notes" is just an environment variable, so you can just write a bash script to set the notes variable and keep track of your notes in there, I show you show to do this in Episode 22 as well.
