Publishing to the App Store

Before publishing to the App Store make sure to add the ARVideoKit License to your app licences list.

Build ARVideoKit for release

Open ARVideoKit.xcodeproj

Select ARVideoKitRelease scheme with Generic iOS Device

Build the project (cmd + B)

Right click on Products/ARVideoKit.framework -> Show in finder

Copy and replace ARVideoKit.framework in your project

Additionally, if you are using the binary build from Framework Build or the latest release, you MUST strip out the simulator architectures from the framework before pushing an application to the App Store.

To do so, follow those steps:

Install Carthage

Download Carthage.pkg from here

Or install with Homebrew using this command brew install carthage

Go to your project target's Build Phase

Add a new Run Script Phase

Add the following command to the Run Script Phase

/usr/local/bin/carthage copy-frameworks

Finally, add ARVideoKit.framework file path as an Input File. In my case, I have it in a folder named Frameworks inside my project folder
