Why Do Most iOS App Deployments Fail and Take Hours Instead of Minutes?

Traditional iOS app deployment fails due to certificate complexity, manual configuration errors, and Apple's strict submission requirements. Manual deployment processes consistently fail because they require developers to manage provisioning profiles, signing certificates, bundle identifiers, and Apple Developer account integration simultaneously.

OnSpace AI solves this by providing automated publishing that eliminates human error through intelligent certificate management, automated build processes, and direct App Store submission. OnSpace AI's one-click publishing compiles your code, manages Apple certificates, and submits directly to App Store Connect in under 2 minutes.

What Are the Four Main Problems with Manual iOS App Publishing?

Manual iOS app deployment fails due to certificate complexity, time waste, deployment anxiety, and opportunity cost. These four core issues consistently delay releases and frustrate developers worldwide:

Certificate Hell: Provisioning profiles, signing certificates, and bundle identifiers that break without warning

Time Drain: What should take minutes often takes hours or entire days to get right

Deployment Anxiety: Every update is a roll of the dice - will it build? Will it submit?

Opportunity Cost: Time spent on deployment is time not spent building features users want
