ShipThis is a command line tool which manages releasing your Godot games to the iOS App Store. Designed to compile and upload your Godot games in the cloud, meaning you do not need to install or run Xcode to release an iOS game.

⚡️ Quickstart

You will need

• A Godot 3.6 or 4.3 game
• Node.js version 18.0 or above
• An Apple Developer account

1. Install ShipThis

ShipThis can be installed as a package via the NPM package manager. Run the following at the command line:

npm install -g shipthis

2. Create an account

Set up an account with ShipThis by logging in for the first time using the shipthis login command.

3. Configure your game

Set up your ShipThis configuration using the built in wizard. Run this command from within a Godot game directory (with a project.godot file):

shipthis game wizard

4. Ship

Now you can publish your game to TestFlight with the shipthis game ship command:

shipthis game ship

Once you are happy with the build you can submit it to Apple using App Store Connect.

Re-run the shipthis game ship command each time you want to build a new release of your game. You never need to run Xcode.
