I am developing an app for iOS using visual studio (phone gap). Can any one please assist me how to generate IPA for the same
Best way is using official phonegap build site :
just upload your project and it will build files for you. totally easy.
https://build.phonegap.com
Be noticed that you need Apple developer account : 99$/year

I'm using Visual Studio community 2022 and Xamarin to create a mobile app which is compatible with both iOS and Android. I would like to be able to download the app on my iPhone so I can test it properly and eventually be able to share the app with other people. I have been able to archive the Android version of my app (generate the .apk file) with Visual Studio since, from what I gather, I have an Android simulator in my computer. However, I am unable to archive the iOS version of my app and generate a .ipa file because I don't have such a simulator on my computer. I can't use my iPhone to play it since I don't have an Apple Developer account (and getting one would cost me $119 CAD which I'm not very eager to pay) so the remaining solution would be to pair to a Mac computer.
I own a Mac computer, but I don't use it anymore since it was getting pretty old (Macbook pro purchased in 2013). When I try and pair to my mac, I get the same error message every time and I don't know what to do about it:
"An error occurred while trying to establish an SSH connection with SSH keys to"
followed by my mac's IP address. However, even if I managed to pair my mac to visual studio on my Windows computer, I have a feeling I would still be unable to sign my code without the Apple Developer account.
I've tried many things:
I've downloaded Visual Studio for mac on my mac and run the code, but since my mac is old the version of xamarin I used in my code is incompatible with the versions of XCode and Visual Studio I can download.
When that failed, I've tried doing what's indicated on this website but I didn't succeed since archiving the app always failed, because the XCode version I can download isn't recent enough (I can only download version 12.4 and I need at least 13.3)
-I've looked a lot into signing the app without paying $119 to Apple for a developer account but have found nothing else.
If anyone has any suggestions about how to potentially get the .ipa file it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks:)
I have a Xamarin.Forms app, created using Visual Studio, which includes Android and iOS projects.
The app is deployed via App Center, which supports crash logging, but this feature requires upload of the app's debug symbols.
The App Center documentation includes detailed information about how to locate and upload debug symbols for iOS projects, but there is no equivalent documentation for Android projects. I have also been unable to find this documentation online, either from Xamarin or elsewhere.
Can anyone please point me to a resource that explains Xamarin.Android debug symbolication (or tell me the procedure)?
Many thanks.
I have released many enterprise builds for my project and for new version, I have used Vuforia SDK for AR functionality. While I am creating Enterprise build with Distribution certificate and profile (by which I have released many versions), I cannot able to generate IPA and getting following error in Xcode:
I had copied Vuforia.framework from their demo provided and used it's functionality in my existing project and all is working fine in iPad.
Any help will be appreciated..
I disabled bitcode and it could create a build without any issue.
I have developed a iOS app using Visual Studio 2015 Xamarin. Right now I dont have a mac system in place. Is there any way I can install the app to iPhone directly and test.
We can do the same for android device by directly installing APK to device.
Best regards

Yes you can but you need distribution certificate and after create ipa so you can install ipa in your device using itune on window system
sure you can. please see this article on which setting to do.
You basically have to chose an ios device as debug goal instead of the simulator
https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/ios/deployment,_testing,_and_metrics/debugging_in_xamarin_ios/
additionally this needs the same basic prequises than installing unsigned applications on ios.
If we consider the xamarin application the ipa file itself will generated on build server
You'll need mac any how I guess.
I am very much new to iOS development.I am working in native iOS development with Objective C as front end and SUP 2.1.3 as backend.I have successfully deployed an application in iPad by connecting it to MAC machine.(I am having a valid provisioning certificate.)
Now,I have to deploy my application using the ipa file.The steps that I followed are given below,
1.Product--->archive
2.selected archived file--->distribute---->save for enterprise distribution--->selected the code identity---->saved to a folder
3.dragged the ipa file into iTunes and synced..
This worked properly.
I tried the same procedure in my windows machine by downloading iTunes .And I connected the iPad to my Windows machine.But it didnt work.Can anyone please help me in solving this?Do I need to add the provisioning certificate or anything like that to my iTunes?I am using Xcode 4.3.2 and iPad 5.1.
If you are willing to to deploy & test the ipa file on your ipad then follow the instructions as specified here:
Testing Your App on Many Devices and iOS Versions
you do not need to pay the developer fees until you are publishing to the appstore. cheers!!!
Use testFlight OR hockyapp instead of windows System. That is best option for you.
