I am trying to generate a build for my iOS application, I run:

dotnet publish "/SomeDirectory/MyApp/MyApp.csproj" -f net8.0-ios -c Release -p:ArchiveOnBuild=true -p:RuntimeIdentifier=ios-arm64  -p:CodesignKey="Apple Distribution: SAMPLE MY APP (RT1234543)" -p:CodesignProvision="sample 25 03 25"

The response is

Tool xcrun execution finished (exit code = 139)

and

usr/local/share/dotnet/packs/Microsoft.iOS.Sdk8.0_18.0/18.0.8319/tools/msbuild/iOS/Xamarin.Shared.targets(2848,3): error : strip exited with code 139

However, the dotnet build command is able to generate the .app build, which I can sign using the codesign command. But it gets rejected by App Store Connect (correctly) saying that it is missing the provisioning profile. Please assist, I am using:

1. dotnet 8.0.407
2. dotnet workload SDK 8.0.400
3. macOS Sonoma (14.7.1)
4. Xcode 16.1

• Do you get the ipa file? – Liqun Shen-MSFT Commented Mar 26 at 1:22
• @LiqunShen-MSFT, no. The publish fails completely, whereas the build passes but generates the app file. In any case, I have found something github/dotnet/macios/issues/21327. Will upgrade Xcode and provide feedback. – Keletso Botsalano Commented Mar 26 at 6:27
• Awaiting your good news. By the way, here is the doc for Publish a .NET MAUI app for iOS. Feel free to check it as needed. – Liqun Shen-MSFT Commented Mar 27 at 9:07
• I have upgraded Xcode to version 16.2 and now I can generate the .ipa file, and upload to App Store, we can consider this closed. – Keletso Botsalano Commented Mar 27 at 19:25
