#external developer

When you work with 3rd party developers, at the end of the project we need to re-sign the published ipa with our bundleID and certificates. All we are provided with is an ipa that has been signed with the developers certificates but we are unable to upload them into the app store.

You will need the following:

The Mobile Provisioning Profile

A iOS Distribution Certificate

Entitlements.plist (See below is unsure how to create)

Creating Entitlements.plist

To create the an Entitlements plist open the Provisioning Profile in atom 

Inside this file there is a key called “Entitlements” Copy the <dict> section and paste this into a plist file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>application-identifier</key> <string>PREFIX.yourappBundleID</string> <key>aps-environment</key> <string>production</string> <key>get-task-allow</key> <false/> <key>keychain-access-groups</key> <array> <string>PREFIX.yourappBundleID</string> </array> </dict> </plist>

Re-sign the .IPA

Unzip the ipa using the below command

unzip -o /path/to/YourApp.ipa -d /path/to

Inside the extracted folder you can will find an Info.plist

Open the files and update the BundleID. Saving the file

Locate the ‘embedded.mobileprovision’ and replace with you new Mobile Provisioning Profile being sure to rename it to embedded.mobileprovision

Run the below command to resign the app with the new details

codesign -f -s “iOS Distribution Certificate Name" -i "PREFIX.yourappBundleID" --entitlements "entitlement.plist" -vv Payload/MyApp.app/MyApp

Sony Santa Monica Is Working With External Developer for Upcoming All-Stars Patch

Sony Santa Monica, in response to Twitter user, itzkhknight, has mentioned that they are working with an external developer for the upcoming Fall patch for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.

@ItzKhknight We are partnering with an outside developer who is also assisting us in other areas outside #PSABR, through our ex-dev group

Back in August, the team at Sony Santa Monica announced a new patch to be released during the Fall that will be focusing on ”character strengths, weaknesses, and functionality for adjustment considerations.” This new partnership announcement should not be considered worrisome as Sony Santa Monica have assured fans that this external developer is knowledgeable within fighting game development.

There is no release date set for the patch (other than the set period of Fall) but Sony Santa Monica have stated that they will “try to get an update as soon as [they] have something solid.”
