What to do after the download

Your Xcode project is ready. Follow these steps to install it on your iPhone and publish it to the App Store.

Part 1 โ€” Open the project in Xcode

1

Unzip the downloaded file

Find the .zip file in your Downloads folder and double-click it. A folder will appear with your project inside.

2

Open Xcode

If you don't have Xcode yet, download it for free from the Mac App Store. It's a large download (~10 GB) so allow some time.

3

Open the project file

Inside the unzipped folder, find Direktune.xcodeproj and double-click it. Xcode will open.

4

Select your development team

In the left sidebar, click the blue Direktune project icon โ†’ click Direktune under TARGETS โ†’ click Signing & Capabilities โ†’ under Team, select your Apple ID.

If your Apple ID is not listed, click Add an Accountโ€ฆ and sign in.

5

Register your Bundle ID (first time only)

If Xcode shows an error about the Bundle ID, go to developer.apple.com โ†’ Identifiers, click +, select App IDs, enter your Bundle ID (e.g. com.yourname.albumname) and click Register. Then go back to Xcode.

6

Test on your iPhone

Connect your iPhone, select it from the device dropdown at the top of Xcode, and press the โ–ถ Play button. The app will install and open on your phone.
