Can I release ipa file from windows? When I use codemagic, I got an Runner.app. zip file. then how to convert to ipa file. And how to install it on ios. Is there any easy method

CodePudding user response：

Use cloud build. https://developer.apple.com/xcode-cloud/ You can build from windows also. You may just have to configure GitHub or gitlab with this and you can directly deploy to test flight

CodePudding user response：

it's not about converting .app to .ipa but about signing your application. And to sign iOS application you need Apple Developer Program membership.

Also you need one time access to macOS computer to create development certificate - you can ask friends or use Codemagic machine for this (read how to access build machine).

Finally with signing certificate issued by Apple and development certificate you can sign and distribute your app using Codemagic - read more here https://ioscodesigning.io/
