About repack-ios

This plugin allows you to re-pack your existing .ipa packages with new assets or non-executable resources without rebuilding the native code. It supports fastlane's sigh and match actions to automatically detect provisioning profiles and certificates for resigning the modified ipa package. Also internally uses Gym configuration arguments to detect build related parameters like output directory etc.

You can use this plugin to modify your react-native js bundle without re-compiling the entire XCode project from the beginning. It significantly reduces the compilation time, especially useful for CI/CD based processes and also for your test automation.

Examples

The only requires arguments are ipa path for the pre-built package and contents path for the resources that would like to replace. Basic usage as follows:

  repack_ios({ ipa: "./build/ios/TestApp.ipa", output_name: "TestApp", contents: "./build/react-native/" })

You can also specify additional parameters to repack_ios action. Eg.

  repack_ios({
    ipa: "./build/ios/TestApp.ipa",
    contents: "./build/react-native/",
    match_type: "adhoc",  # Optional if you use _sigh_ or _match_
    bundle_id: "com.creaworks.fastlane-app.repacked",
    bundle_version: ENV["CI_BUILD_NUMBER"]
  })
