fox

fox is a set of tools and utilities for building iOS and Mac projects. fox is not a normal project, but rather an outlet for my deep frustrations with Apple’s Xcode tools. The vision for fox to provide a complete replacement for the Xcode build and project file system (but not an IDE or text editor.) I realize that achieving this vision is probably impossible, but I believe I’ll get something positive out of the journey.

fox is very early and not recommended for production use yet.

Subcommands

ipa

Create a signed IPA file.

::

    fox ipa [-h] [--project PROJECT] --target TARGET [--config CONFIG] --identity IDENTITY --profile PROFILE [--keychain KEYCHAIN]

-  ``-h`` Print help.
-  ``--project`` Path to Xcode profile file.
-  ``--config`` The build configuration. Defaults to ``Debug``.
-  ``--target`` Refers to the name of the target in the Xcode project.
-  ``--identity`` Name of the code-signing identity, i.e. ‘iPhone
   Distribution: My Company’.
-  ``--profile`` Provisioning profile. If a valid path is supplied, that
   profile is used. Also, a name can be provided, (i.e. ‘MyApp Ad Hoc’)
   and fox with search for that provisioning profile in default
   locations (currently just
   ``~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles``).
-  ``--keychain`` Use a keychain file instead of the default keychain.
