Exporting an unsigned iOS app

After you build a Pega Platform application, you can export a custom mobile app in a form of an unsigned xarchive.zip file. This way, you can sign your custom mobile app locally in a development environment of your choice. When you sign your custom mobile app locally, you do not upload a signing certificate to Pega Platform, and therefore do not violate your company's security policies.

1. Navigate to the Build tab of the mobile channel interface.
2. In the Configuration section, click Custom to build a custom mobile app.
3. In the Platforms section, select the iOS switch.
4. In the Certificate Set section, set up a certificate set for the app:
   • If an unsigned certificate set does not exist, create an unsigned certificate set.
   • If an unsigned certificate set already exists, select an existing unsigned certificate set. You might have to click Modify build to display the list.
5. Optional: Specify versioning and debugging options by expanding the Advanced section within the Android section:
   • In the Version field, enter the release version for your app. For more information, see Auto-incrementing app version.
   • Set the app build version.
   • Set up debugging options.
6. Optional: Set up password enforcement and an alternative server URL by expanding the Advanced section below the App branding section:
   • Set up a password enforcement option.
   • Set up alternative server URL.
7. Click Build now.
