Release a new version to production

We do a production release by promoting a version from UAT environment:

1. Production server release

From the UAT box: ##Push binaries to a temp area

root@lgdev1:/# scp -rp /opt/littlegenius/app [email protected]:/opt/littlegenius/new

From the Prod box (perform these steps as quick as possible to minimize down time):

• Stop the process root# service littlegenius stop
• Check if process is stopped root# ps -ef |grep node.

If ok:

Promote new binaries

• root@prod:/#cd /opt/littlegenius
• root@prod:/# mv app app.old
• root@prod:/# mv new app

##Restart littlegenius root@prod:/# nohup sudo service littlegenius start root@prod:/# nohup sudo service littlegenius start

If change of config, Reconfig from dev box or prod?:

• Check process started root@prod:/# ps -ef |grep node
• Check you can login on http://app.littlegenius.io/login

2. Production client release

• Checkout a cleaned labeled version or pull from a previous release repo.

For iOS

• Build the client in the app directory:npm run ios-prd
• Open XCode path is under the directory: lgen/app/.meteor/local/cordova-build/platforms/ios/Little Genius.xcodeproj e.g. /Users/dan/DEV/PRD/lgen/app/.meteor/local/cordova-build/platforms/ios/Little Genius.xcodeproj (best is to open from Finder as XCode cannot open hidden directory such as .meteor)
• check that you can connect to production using at least the emulator (and better a real iOS device)
• Run the app on play with it.
• if OK, set Enable BitCode to No in build settings

For Android

• See Build on Android.
• Cd in the app directory
• using the right .keystore (ask Daniel or Terence), run ./build-android.sh (Note the build number need to incremented as well...in mobile-config.js and config.xml)
• upload APK to Google Play store
