Building the production version

When code development is complete, create the production version for final testing and submission to the Apple Store.

1. Unzip the opy-sdk-ios-prm-2.30.x-production.zip file.
2. Either create a new project and repeat the previous procedures, or duplicate your existing project, making the necessary changes to allow the project to be built.
3. Replace the patching script (Step 7 in Creating the player) with the one below. The only differences are:
   • The invocation of the patch.pyc script does not include the --no-full-checksum switch. Removing the switch causes the patcher to encrypt as much of the app as it can, and not just specified parts.
   • In the line STRIP_OPTIONS = "" ,  the remaining debug symbols are stripped.
   

   In some cases (for example, patching the binary of a library), stripping needs to be more selective. In such cases, modify the value of the STRIP_OPTIONS variable. For example, if the binary is a dynamic library, change STRIP_OPTIONS = "" to STRIP_OPTIONS = "-r -u".

   BASH

   set -e
   set -x
   PATCHER_DIR=/nmp-sdk/kop_htc/patcher
   echo "PATCHER_DIR = "
   app_binary=/
   echo "app binary = "
   MD5SUM_FILE_PATH=.md5
   echo "MD5SUM_FILE_PATH = "
   
   PATCH_REQUIRED=true
   # calculate binary checksum
   NEW_CHECKSUM=`md5 -q `
   echo "new checksum = "
   # compare against checksum in file
   if [ -f  ]; then
     OLD_CHECKSUM=`cat `
     if [ "" = "" ]; then
       PATCH_REQUIRED=false
       echo "No patching required"
     fi
   fi
   
   # Force using native python
   export PATH="/usr/bin:"
   echo "using `which python`"
   
   if [  = true ]; then
     STRIP_OPTIONS=""
     dylib_PATH=/libcx_checksum.dylib
     LIPO_CMD="lipo -create -o  "
     for COP_ARCH in ; do
       lipo -thin   -o ..temp
       LIPO_CMD=" ..temp "
       python /patch.pyc --patch-oddd ..temp
       strip  ..temp
     done
     
     for COP_ARCH in ; do
       rm -f ..temp
     done
     NEW_CHECKSUM=`md5 -q `
     echo  > 
   fi

4. Select Product > Scheme > Edit Scheme... and change the build configuration from Debug to Release where relevant.

Removing simulator support

The Player SDK is built with simulator support to enable you to build and test against an Xcode simulator.

Upload to the AppStore will be blocked if your application’s archive contains the SDK framework that contains unsupported simulator architectures. This means that they will need to be stripped out from any version destined for the App Store.

There may be other reasons why the upload is rejected.

The SDK can be tested during integration on the simulator allowing the behaviour and layout across a wide range of devices to be validated.

FPS encrypted playback is not supported in the simulator

To remove any unsupported simulator architectures:

1. Open the Build Phases tab for your application’s target.

2. Add a Run Script build phase with the + icon.

   

   The Run Script step must be placed after Embed Frameworks.

3. Copy and paste the following script, which strips the simulator support from the SDK framework, into the relevant section.

   BASH

        #!/bin/sh
       APP_PATH="${TARGET_BUILD_DIR}/${WRAPPER_NAME}"
       find "$APP_PATH" -name 'OPYSDKFPS*.framework' -type d | while read -r FRAMEWORK
       do
         FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_NAME=$(defaults read "$FRAMEWORK/Info.plist" CFBundleExecutable)
         FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH="$FRAMEWORK/$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_NAME"
         echo "Executable is $FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH"
         EXTRACTED_ARCHS=()
         DESIRED_ARCHS="arm64"
         lipo -info "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH"
         for ARCH in $DESIRED_ARCHS
         do
           echo "Extracting $ARCH from $FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_NAME"
           lipo -extract "$ARCH" "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH" -o "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH-$ARCH"
           EXTRACTED_ARCHS+=("$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH-$ARCH")
         done
         echo "Merging extracted architectures: ${DESIRED_ARCHS}"
         lipo -o "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH-merged" -create "${EXTRACTED_ARCHS[@]}"
         rm "${EXTRACTED_ARCHS[@]}"
         echo "Replacing original"
         rm "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH"
         mv "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH-merged" "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH"
         lipo -info "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH"
       done
