Using the stand-alone tool to upload an application

To upload an application, call the stand-alone tool from the command line.

Procedure

Use the stand-alone tool by following these steps.
Add applicationcenterdeploytool.jar and json4j.jar to the java classpath environment variable.
Call the upload tool from the command line:
java com.ibm.appcenter.Upload [options] [files]
We can pass any of the available options in the command line.

Option Content indicated by Description
-s serverpath The path to the Application Center server.
-c context The context of the Application Center web application.
-u user The user credentials to access the Application Center.
-p password The password of the user.
-d description The description of the application to be uploaded.
-l label The fallback label. Normally the label is taken from the application descriptor stored in the file to be uploaded. If the application descriptor does not contain a label, the fallback label is used.
-isActive true or false The application is stored in the Application Center as an active or inactive application.
-isInstaller true or false The application is stored in the Application Center with the “installer” flag set appropriately.
-isReadyForProduction true or false The application is stored in the Application Center with the “ready-for-production” flag set appropriately.
-isRecommended true or false The application is stored in the Application Center with the “recommended” flag set appropriately.
-e Shows the full exception stack trace on failure.
-f Force uploading of applications, even if they exist already.
-y Disable SSL security checking, which allows publishing on secured hosts without verification of the SSL certificate. Use of this flag is a security risk, but may be suitable for testing localhost with temporary self-signed SSL certificates.

The files parameter can specify files of type Android application package (.apk) files or iOS application (.ipa) files.
In this example user demo has the password demopassword. Use this command line.
java com.ibm.appcenter.Upload -s http://localhost:9080 -c applicationcenter -u demo -p demopassword -f app1.ipa app2.ipa
