Upload package | `$ tns publish ios [<Apple ID> [<Password>]] --ipa <Ipa File Path>`

Uploads project to iTunes Connect. The command either issues a production build and uploads it to iTunes Connect, or uses an already built package to upload.

<% if((isConsole && isMacOS) || isHtml) { %>

### Options
* `--ipa` - If set, will use provided .ipa file instead of building the project.
* `--team-id` - Specified the team id for which Xcode will try to find distribution certificate and provisioning profile when exporting for AppStore submission.

### Attributes
* `<Apple ID>` and `<Password>` are your credentials for logging into iTunes Connect.
* `<Mobile Provisioning Profile Identifier>` the identifier of the mobile provision(e.g. d5d40f61-b303-4fc8-aea3-fbb229a8171c) which will be used for building. This can easily be acquired through the iPhone Configuration Utility.
* `<Code Sign Identity>` the code sign identity which will be used for building. You can set it to something generic like 'iPhone Distribution' to let the build automatically detect a code sign identity.
