I need help in generating the .ipa file.

I tried to generate the .ipa file by following the next steps:

• I switched from Debug to Release

• in .csproj I checked "Build ipa" from IPA OPTIONS.

• I cleaned/rebuild the solution

• Right-click on the project and select deploy

I verified in the bin/Release folder for the .ipa file but it wasn't generated and I don't receive any errors.

Can somebody help?

Select Release and Generic Device and select Archive for publishing.

After the archive finishes select Sign and Distribute and select Ad Hoc. Then you will create a valid .ipa file.

hope that helps.

CodePudding user response：

At this time, publishing is only supported through the .NET command line interface.

To publish your app, open a terminal and navigate to the folder for your .NET MAUI app project.

You could then use the following command as an example

dotnet publish -f:net7.0-ios -c:Release -r ios-arm64 /p:ArchiveOnBuild=true

The .ipa will be generated by default in bin/Release/net7.0-ios/ios-arm64/publish/ Folder.

For more info, you could refer to Publish a .NET MAUI app for iOS

Hope it works for you.
