I’d been developing on iOS for a few years so creating the mobileprovisioning, .p12 and .cer is easy. However when I run the iPhonePackager executable, i get the following console printout immediately:

Seems like i’m missing this UE4Game-Info.plist. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Are you trying to run IPP directly?

Hi Pete, yes i ran IPP directly as per the iOS deployment guide.

The deployment guide is out of date. The preferred approach is to utilize the Import Certificate from the editor’s IOS Project Settings window. I’ll look in to fixing this issue, but you should be able to import using the editor. Let me know if that doesn’t work as you may have encountered a clean install issue.

I looked at the iOS settings and i see both mobileprovisioning and the certificate were actually already setup. So IPP did managed to import those. All i did was fix the Bundle identifier to match the mobileprovisioning. After that, deployment to iOS device works.

Thanks for looking into this. A guide for code-based project deployment to iOS would be greatly appreciated in the future.

Hi, it seems it has pass a long time from this but the docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Platforms/iOS/QuickStart still using the IPP for iOS deployement…

it will be possible to find a new guide about how to do it with UE4.13 or similar to the current version?
