iOS IPA Builds · Live on Apple Silicon

Get Your App on the App Store

Cloud iOS IPA builds require the Pro or Agency plan — they run on real Apple silicon and return an unsigned .ipa you sign yourself. On Agency, cloud signing can handle it — either way we never need access to your Apple account. On Free or Starter, ship a zero-signing Web Clip instead.

Setup Steps

1

Register Apple Developer Account

Create your own Apple Developer account to own your app assets.

10 minutes
Visit developer.apple.com and click 'Account'
Sign in with your Apple ID (or create one)
Enroll in Apple Developer Program ($99/year)
Complete identity verification (may take 24-48h for organizations)

You must use your own account. Your app's Bundle ID and certificates belong to this account forever.

Go to Apple Developer →
2

Choose a Bundle ID

Reserve a stable identifier for the future App Store app.

5 minutes
Use reverse-domain format, such as com.yourcompany.app
Keep it unique and stable after publishing
Record it with your project details

Never invite Code2Native to your Apple account — builds never need App Store Connect access. The default pipeline ships an unsigned IPA; optional cloud signing (Agency plan) uses a certificate you upload to our encrypted vault, never your Apple account.

3

Provide App Details

Tell us about your app so we can configure everything correctly.

5 minutes
App Name (display name on home screen)
Bundle ID (e.g., com.yourcompany.appname)
App Icon (1024×1024 PNG, no transparency)
Target URL (your website, must be HTTPS)
Version number (e.g., 1.0.0)

If unsure about Bundle ID, we recommend: com.[yourdomain].[appname] (e.g., com.example.myshop)

Questions about signing?

Email support with your project name and we'll walk you through re-signing your IPA. Never email certificates or private keys — if you use cloud signing, upload them only through the dashboard's encrypted vault.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need my own Apple Developer account?

Apple requires that apps be submitted by their content owners. If we used our account, your app could be removed if our account has any issues. Your own account means you have full control and ownership forever.

Should I invite Code2Native to App Store Connect?

No. We never need App Store Connect access. By default we build an unsigned IPA and your certificates and private keys stay entirely with you. If you opt into cloud signing (Agency plan), you upload a signing certificate that is stored encrypted and used only to sign your own builds — your Apple account itself is never involved. You submit with your own credentials, so your ownership is never entangled with ours.

Is my account safe?

Yes. We never ask for your Apple ID or App Store Connect access, so control of your account always stays with you. On the default flow, signing happens entirely on your side and we never receive your certificates or private keys. If you use optional cloud signing, the certificate you upload is stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM), used only for signing your builds, and you can delete it at any time.

How long does the build take?

Website-wrapper iOS builds typically finish in a few minutes on our Apple-silicon build machines. Xcode source projects vary with project size.

Can you submit to the App Store for me?

Not yet. By default you receive an unsigned IPA to re-sign; with cloud signing (Agency plan) you receive a signed, store-ready IPA. Either way you submit with your own Apple account.
