How To Perform iOS App Validation From the Command Line

Question

Is it possible to perform the local Validation for iOS applications (which can be see in the Organizer under Archives) function via the command line?

UPDATE: Just to

Answer 1

In the past I've used this command:

xcrun -sdk iphoneos Validation /path/to/MyApp.app or /path/to/MyApp.ipa

This will check the codesigning, icon dimensions etc. I'm not sure if the Xcode Organizer or Application Loader app do any other validation in addition to this tool, and the tool itself has zero help or command line flags that I can find.

UPDATE:

This question has prompted me to dig a bit deeper. Running the strings tool reveals the following switches:

-verbose
-upload
-warnings
-errors
-online

The -online option apparently will validate the binary for the first available app in iTunes connect, but I have not figured out how to pass a username/password to the command. However I'm guessing for continuous integration you probably only want the local validation.
