Uploading to App Store

Upload your binary (.ipa or .pkg) to App Store Connect.

Slowlane uses the iTMSTransporter tool (on macOS) or the native API where possible to robustly upload builds.

Upload IPA

slowlane upload ipa ./path/to/MyApp.ipa

Options

  • --validate-only: detailed validation without uploading.
  • --platform: specific platform (default: ios).

Prerequisites

  • On macOS: Requires Xcode or the Transporter app installed.
  • On Linux/Windows: Upload capabilities are limited by Apple's tooling availability. Most users perform uploads from a macOS runner in CI.

Troubleshooting Uploads

If you encounter iTMSTransporter errors, ensure: 1. You have accepted the latest agreements in App Store Connect. 2. Your firewall allows connections to Apple's transporter servers. 3. The IPA is correctly signed for App Store Distribution (not Development or Ad Hoc).
