Integration in standalone mode

One way to integrate App Shielding into an application is to run the Shielding Tool directly from the command line. The Shielding Tool will bind and add App Shielding to the ipa, and attempt to re-sign the file.

First generate and sign your application as you would usually do to generate an ipa file. Then, in order to bind and add App Shielding to the ipa, run the Shielding Tool utility in the following manner:

java -jar Shielder.jar --config config.xml MyNiceApp.ipa

In this example, config.xml is your App Shielding config file in xml format and MyNiceApp.ipa is your application.

This will produce a new file MyNiceApp-shielded.ipa, which includes App Shielding configured according to the config.xml file.

Instead of an ipa file, Shielding Tool can also be used directly on an application (typically with the extension .app), or an application packed in a zip file.

If the target file is not signed, or should not be re-signed, the Shielding Tool should be run with the --no-sign option.
