Question

I’m working on creating an app for in house distribution enterprise level. I’ve created the app and tested hosting it on my own server and even getting the click to install working. Now though I have some updates to the app, I make the edits and I even see them in the simulator. When I build and archive the app things seem fine, then I go to the archived project in the organizer window, click the share button and distribute for enterprise, I enter details such as the ipa final url and the app title and then ok & save. Then I upload the app to my server and update any links to point to this new app. The click to install still works properly, but it installs the old version of the app. I’ve even tried this on a new device. Is there some step I’m mission that tells Xcode some version to build? If so, I don’t get is how the simulator shows the update fine, but the archive that is built is not showing the latest code. The app I can find in the simulator dirs is 9.4MB in file size, but the one that is saved after build and archive is only 1.4MB (the update involves a lot of added images), so is the build for archive is not even getting the new files?

Answer 1

I figured it out and thought I should post it in case it helped someone else.

I cleaned the project.

Build > Clean – not 100% on what “Clean” is supposed to mean/do, but it allowed the project to build from the current files rather than the old files somehow.
