Xcode build and export

Use this skill when you need to build an app from source and prepare it for App Store Connect. Prefer asc xcode archive and asc xcode export over raw xcodebuild recipes when they fit the project.

Preconditions

  • Xcode and command line tools are installed.
  • Signing identity and provisioning profiles are available, or automatic signing is enabled.
  • App Store Connect auth is configured when upload or build lookup is needed.
