What is the right way to build an iOS project on Windows, then compile it and package it as an IPA on a Mac?
On a Mac, using the command line, without access to the Unity editor, and with an XCode project that was built on a Windows machine, how do I create a .ipa that can be uploaded to the app store?
Since this is related to Apple, I assume it's more complicated than just getting the right command line arguments.
Assumptions
You may assume the following:
Certificate and provisioning profile are already installed on the Mac CI machine. (Already worked through the errors from not having that)
XCode 10
The profile is of type "App Store". (just verified)
I am able to compile and deploy a simulator build via the same path (build Xcode project on my Unity machine, compile and package on a hosted Mac).
Background
I've been beating my head against this wall for too long, so I'm asking for help.
I currently do all my Unity builds on a Windows machine I manage. Then I try to convert it to a working application on a hosted Mac. Both of these things are happening in CI.
I don't have a Mac. There is a bug in the unity.setup PowerShell package that makes it specifically not work on Azure DevOps hosted Macs. Because of those things, I have to do the Unity build on my windows build server and compile the IPA on another machine.
I have been struggling with xcodebuild for a week, now. I cannot seem to get it to build and sign my IPA.
I got as far as a "signed" .ipa file but it was unable to upload it because it was missing an embedded.mobileprovision.
