How to sign ipa after using unity-builder

[uchar]

I found a utility for uploading .ipa to apple store connect

xcrun altool --upload-app -t ios -f "$IPA_PATH" -u "$APP_STORE_CONNECT_USERNAME" -p "$APP_STORE_CONNECT_PASSWORD"

But before upload, it should be signed using apple certificates. I'm lost here. for android, we have some parameters about the key store but for iOS I can't find any.

Can someone help me in the right direction?

Maybe this part of the gitlab docs could help a bit.

@webbertakken From what I saw the output of the build is an ipa file. So I have a question, does the builder generate xcode project or I have to update xcode project manually and push it to git every time I change the project?

@uchar The builder generates the xcode project, so you should not include the xcode project in git.

After using builder to generate the xcode project, you need to build the .ipa and upload to app store connect. You could manually run xcode and use that utility you mentioned. But I think it would be easier/better to use fastlane, like the docs that @webbertakken linked suggest.

@davidmfinol Does the builder only create xcode project or build it too?

From my tests the output is an ipa file, So does this mean the build step in the fastlane which is suggested unnecessary and we only need the upload line? Or we need it for some signing stuffs 🤔

I think there is redundant and extra steps which is very time consuming is going on here

It only creates the xcode project.
Where are you seeing the .ipa created?

@davidmfinol Yeah you are right, It was my mistake
