Automatic provisioning allows Visual Studio for Mac or Visual Studio 2019 to automatically set up a device for developer testing. However, automatic provisioning is not compatible with free provisioning. In order to use automatic provisioning, you must have a paid Apple Developer Program account. Testing conducted by Apple in November 2019 using preproduction 2.5GHz 28-core Intel Xeon W-based Mac Pro systems with 384GB of RAM and dual AMD Radeon Pro Vega II graphics with Infinity Fabric Link and 32GB of HBM2 each, configured with Afterburner and a 4TB SSD. Mac Pro systems tested with an attached 5K display.

Free provisioning allows Xamarin.iOS developers to deploy and test theirapps on iOS devices without being part of the Apple Developer Program.While simulator testing is valuable and convenient, it is also essential totest apps on physical iOS devices to verify that they function properlyunder real-world memory, storage, and network connectivity constraints.

To use free provisioning to deploy an app to a device:

• Use Xcode to create the necessary signing identity (developercertificate and private key) and provisioning profile (containing anexplicit App ID and the UDID of a connected iOS device).
• Use the signing identity and provisioning profile created by Xcode inVisual Studio for Mac or Visual Studio 2019 to deploy your Xamarin.iOSapplication.

Automatic provisioningallows Visual Studio for Mac or Visual Studio 2019 to automatically setup a device for developer testing. However, automatic provisioning is notcompatible with free provisioning. In order to use automatic provisioning,you must have a paid Apple Developer Program account.

Requirements

To deploy your Xamarin.iOS applications to a device with free provisioning:

• The Apple ID being used must not be connected to the Apple Developer Program.
• Your Xamarin.iOS app must use an explicit App ID, not a wildcard App ID.
• The bundle identifier used in your Xamarin.iOS app must be unique and cannot have been used in another app previously. Any bundle identifier used with free provisioning cannot be re-used.
• If you have already distributed an app, you cannot deploy that app with free provisioning.
• If your app uses App Services, you will need to create a provisioning profile as detailed in the device provisioning guide.

Take a look at the Limitations section of this documentfor more information about limitations associated with free provisioning,and refer to the App distributionguides for more informationabout distributing iOS applications.

Testing on device with free provisioning

Follow these steps below to test your Xamarin.iOS app with free provisioning.

Use Xcode to create a signing identity and provisioning profile

1. If you do not have an Apple ID, create one.

2. Open Xcode and navigate to Xcode > Preferences.

3. Under Accounts, use the + button to add your existing Apple ID. It should look similar to the screenshot below:

4. Close Xcode preferences.

5. Plug in the iOS device to which you'd like to deploy your app.

6. In Xcode, create a new project. Choose File > New > Project and select Single View App.

7. In the new project dialog, set Team to the Apple ID that you just added. In the drop-down list, it should look similar to Your Name (Personal Team):

8. Once the new project has been created, choose an Xcode build scheme that targets your iOS device (rather than a simulator).

9. Open your app's project settings by selecting its top-level node in Xcode's Project Navigator.

10. Under General > Identity, make sure that the Bundle Identifierexactly matches your Xamarin.iOS app's bundle identifier found in Info.plist.

    Important

    Xcode will only create a provisioning profile for an explicit AppID, and it must be identical to the App ID of your Xamarin.iOS app.If they differ, you will not be able to use free provisioning todeploy your Xamarin.iOS app.

11. Under Deployment Info, ensure that the deployment target matches or is lower than the version of iOS installed on your connected iOS device.

12. Under Signing, select Automatically manage signing and select your team from the drop-down list:

    Xcode will automatically generate a provisioning profile and signing identity for you. You can view this by clicking on the information icon next to provisioning profile:

    Tip

    Mac os rar unzip command line. If there is a failure when Xcode attempts to generate a provisioningprofile, make sure that Xcode's currently-selected build schemetargets the connected iOS device rather than a simulator.

13. To test in Xcode, deploy the blank application to your device by clicking the run button.

Deploy your Xamarin.iOS app

1. Connect your iOS device to the Mac build host via USB or wirelessly.

2. In the Visual Studio for Mac Solution Pad, double-click on Info.plist.

3. In Signing, select Manual Provisioning.

4. Click the iOS Bundle Signing… button.

5. For Configuration, select Debug.

6. For Platform, select iPhone.

7. Select the Signing Identity created by Xcode.

8. Select the Provisioning Profile created by Xcode.

   Tip

   If you cannot see your signing identity or the correct provisioningprofile, you may need to restart Visual Studio for Mac.

9. Click OK to save and close the Project Options.

10. Select your iOS device and run the app.

1. Make sure that Visual Studio 2019 or Visual Studio 2017 has been paired to a Mac build host.

2. Connect your iOS device to the Mac build host via USB or wirelessly.

3. In the Visual Studio 2019 or Visual Studio 2017 Solution Explorer, right-click on your Xamarin.iOS project and select Properties.

4. Navigate to iOS Bundle Signing.

5. For Configuration, select Debug.

6. For Platform, select iPhone.

7. Select Manual Provisioning.

8. Select the Signing Identity created by Xcode.

9. Select the Provisioning Profile created by Xcode.

   Tip

   Xcode created this signing identity and provisioning profile andstored them on your Mac build host. They are accessible toVisual Studio 2019 or Visual Studio 2017 since it has been pairedto the Mac build host. If they are not listed, you may need to restartVisual Studio 2019 or Visual Studio 2017.

10. Save and close the project properties.

11. Select your iOS device and run the app.

Limitations

Apple has imposed a number of limitations on when and how you can use free provisioning to run your application on an iOS device, ensuring that you can only deploy to your device:

• Access to iTunes Connect is limited and therefore services such as publishing to the App Store and TestFlight are unavailable to developers provisioning their applications freely. An Apple Developer Account (Enterprise or Personal) is required to distribute via Ad Hoc and In-House means.
• Provisioning profiles created with free provisioning will expire after one week, and signing identities will expire after one year.
• Since Xcode will only create provisioning profiles for explicit App IDs, you will need to follow the instructions above for every app that you wish to install.
• Provisioning for most application services is not possible with free provisioning. This includes Apple Pay, Game Center, iCloud, In-App Purchasing, Push Notifications, and Wallet. Apple provides a full list of capabilities in the Supported capabilities (iOS) guide. To provision your app for use with application services, visit the Working with capabilities guides.

In early 2018, a significant change to Apple's App Store review guidelines went into effect: From that point forward, mobile app content owners were required to publish branded event apps under their own Apple Developer Accounts.

Anticipation of the new rule's enforcement created a surplus of nerves in the event tech (Event Manager Blog cheekily coined the phrase 'Appageddon') and event planning ('Buckle up,' wrote Michelle Bruno in her Fork in the Road blog) industries.

And the changes keep coming. The best way to stay up to date? Bookmark the Review Guidelines page, and ask your event tech provider's Success Team to keep you posted on any developments that could affect your branded app(s). That being said, here at Attendify we know that event organizers have much bigger fish to fry than staying abreast of fluctuating App Store rules. In fact, an entire component of our team is dedicated to helping clients with branded apps successfully navigate the submission process.

But it all starts with getting an Apple Developer Account. Without one, your branded app will never see the light of day in the App Store, and unfortunately, your event tech vendor can't apply for one on your behalf. What we can do is make the process easier by supplying the step-by-step guide below. Along the way, you'll find some comic relief, as well as info on where to get further help if you're an Attendify customer.

Ready? Go!

Step 1: Get your organization's info together

Mac Developer Setup

Before you get started with your developer account application, you're going to want to have a few things handy. Collecting and accessing this information before you begin will make the application process much easier.

• (2) popsicle sticks: Sorry! Wrong list.
• An Apple device: Apple requires two factor authentication, so you'll need to make sure that's available on your machine. Live in an Android/Windows world? You can find an array of affordable refurbished Apple device options online.
• An Apple ID: This is your account information with Apple. You may already have an ID, but if you need to create a new one you can do so here.
• Your D-U-N-S (Dun & Bradstreet) number: Realtalk…This can take up to two weeks to get— and you can't apply for a developer account without it—so don't put it off! This number is the method by which Apple confirms that you're with the organization you want to represent in the App Store. Use Apple's look-up tool to see if your organization already has a D-U-N-S number (you'll need your Apple ID) or if you need to apply for one. If you need to sign up for a new number, they'll walk you through it. Note: Accredited Educational Organizations and Government Organizations do not need a D-U-N-S number.
• A legal entity status: You must apply for your Apple Developer Account as the legal entity. This means you cannot use a DBA, branch or trade name. There are no exceptions; Apple gives out developer accounts on the entity level only.
• Legal binding authority: The person applying for your developer account must have the authority to engage in legal contract with a company.
• A website: The organization you're representing in the App Store must have a public website. You'll need to provide Apple with the URL. Note: Non-Profit Organizations, Accredited Educational Organizations and Government Organizations do not need a public website to apply for an Apple Developer Account.

Step 2: Complete your account application

Now that you've got all of your proverbial ducks in a row, you're ready to breeze through the application process. Here's how it works:

• Log in: Visit this page, click the 'Start Your Enrollment' button at the bottom, and log in to the developer section with your Apple ID.
• Accept the agreement: After logging in, you'll be prompted to accept the Apple Developer Agreement in order to proceed.
• Select your entity type: Pick the description from the dropdown menu that best fits your organization and select 'Continue.' Important note: If you're publishing an app on behalf of an organization, don't sign up as an individual. Apple will not allow you to independently publish an event on behalf of an entity.

• Give them your deets: Fill out your organization's information, agree to the legal requirements and submit payment.

Step 3: Wait

Once you've completed the process above, your application will be submitted to the Apple team for approval. Apple typically follows up within two weeks to let you know that your application has been approved and is fully functional. You can check the status of your application at any time here. Make sure you sign in with the Apple ID you used during the enrollment process.

There are basically two potential outcomes at this point:

1. Your application is approved: Yay! You crossed your i's and dotted your t's did it the right way and now you're ready to build and publish your event app. If you're using Attendify as your event tech provider, we make it easy to attach relevant details about your Apple Developer Account to your app. Just log in to your Attendify account, and add your developer account details to your dashboard. If you need further assistance, simply reach out to our Support Team via chat on any Attendify webpage or email us.
2. Your application is denied: Wah! While not the norm, this does happen for a few reasons, including when you've made an error in entering your details, if Apple needs more information from you, or if your organization already has a developer account on file. Need help following up? You can communicate with Apple through the link provided at the start of this section, or ask your Customer Success Manager for advice if you're an Attendify client.

Let's face it, you're not sending off for a free one-way ticket to paradise here, so it's probably not going to be your favorite task of the week. But if you leave yourself plenty of time, gather the data you need in advance and follow the directions above, you'll be a member of the Apple Developer Program before you know it. And that paves the way for creating a branded event app that engages, empowers and delights (which is a lot more enjoyable, we promise).

If the thought of navigating the Apple Developer Program gives you a headache, consider an Attendify container app. It's budget friendly, has a drag-and-drop interface, and doesn't require a developer account or design skills—you can publish the same day you build!
