iOS: build the sideload IPA in Release, not Debug (#53)#65
Merged
Conversation
The prebuilt unsigned .ipa failed to sideload — 'Unable to Install NOOP: this app cannot be installed because its integrity could not be verified' — in KravaSign with either a dev or distribution cert. The reporter's own build sideloaded fine; the only material difference was the build configuration: our CI built -configuration Debug, theirs was Release. A Debug build carries get-task-allow + debug artifacts that a re-signed sideload install rejects on modern iOS; Release (the correct config for a distributed app) installs clean. Switch both the release and testing iOS builds to -configuration Release, and read the .app from Release-iphoneos accordingly. The watch strip is unchanged (it's for AltStore/free-Apple-ID users who can't sign the embedded watch — not the cause here; the reporter's watch-intact Release build installed fine). Fixes #53.

Info.plisthas no watch reference, sorm -rf Watchleaves nothing dangling — and the reporter's working build had the watch intact, so it isn't the cause. Watch strip left unchanged (it's for AltStore / free-Apple-ID users who can't sign the embedded watch).Fix
Both the release and testing iOS builds now use
