✖ Building IPA - failed!

is that the complete error?

I "reproduced" the problem, but turns out it was just a warning and my error was something else.

[pthorp]

Indeed, that was the full error from the console. It was also the only error that was shown in any of the logs, in the IDEDistribution.critical.log, and the IPA file was not generated.

[jcesarmobile]

can you run xcodebuild archive -archivePath App.xcarchive -exportArchive -exportOptionsPlist archive.plist -exportPath output -allowProvisioningUpdates -configuration Release from ios/App/ folder?

Are you using automatic or manual signing?

[pthorp]

The archive.plist file is not present in that folder, so the command fails with a no such file exception.

e.g.

App > ls -l

24 Aug 11:26 App
28 Aug 17:44 App.xcodeproj
22 Aug 09:08 App.xcworkspace
24 Aug 11:26 Podfile
22 Aug 15:00 Podfile.lock
22 Aug 08:51 Pods
22 Aug 20:32 output

When this issue occurred, we had it set up with manual signing and choosing the required distribution profile.

[jcesarmobile]

archive.plist is generated by the npx cap build ios command.

Manual signing is not supported at the moment, that's what causing the build to fail.

OK, no problem, thank you for your feedback.

[jcesarmobile]

keeping it open to fix the warning, it will eventually break
