Hello everyone! 😊 Please support us by #subscribing, #commenting, #liking, and #sharing the content! 🙌 Thank you! 🌟
This is great and so useful for learners of flutter 🎉🎉
Thank you! 😃
Thank you so much sir ❤❤, it helps me a lot 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You're very welcome! I'm thrilled to hear that I could be of assistance. If you have any more questions or need further help, don't hesitate to reach out. Wishing you all the best on your journey! ❤️❤️
How did you installed ipa?
You are my men ;) Thnx
You're welcome! 😊 I'm glad I could be of assistance 👍.
This is great, if we want publish update for app should be how? for example if we want to upgrade bundle version should be how?
Thanks for your feedback! 🙌 Much appreciated. Do you mean the code version for iOS or the bundle identifier? BTW, this method gives you the unsigned version for iOS and it's mostly used for testing purposes. 😊
good video straight to the point. will this method work even if my flutter app has connections to firebase?
🙏 Much appreciate your feedback! Whether you're using Firebase or any other service, it's essential to ensure that all iOS platform configurations are fully completed. Once done, give exporting the IPA a shot! ✨
@@ProgrammingWithFlexZ i tried it, and it works! Thank you so much ❤️
That's fantastic to hear! 😊 I'm glad it worked for you! Keep shining bright ❤️✨
Master❤
Thank you for your kind words! 😊 Much Appreciated! ❤️
@@ProgrammingWithFlexZ you're very much sir
this is awesome but what if we got errors just only when we build the app like in the pod file ,i was using free virtual mac to run my flutter app and I got an error in the pod file and in order to fix that error i have to comment some lines from the pod file and it is working but i cant build the same app according to your video because i got build error on the pod file and there is no means to re run the build after changing some lines in the pod file
Thanks for your comment and detailed description of the issue. If it's possible for you, kindly share the logs from the build process when the error occurred 📄🔍, so I can better assist you in identifying the problem 😊.
this is the error and it can be fixed by commenting some lines in the pod file using real mac but i cant edit the pod file while using the github actions the error is:

would this work for a build file generated for Xcode by Unity?
Yes, it's possible to configure it to build files using Unity-generated Xcode projects. However, achieving seamless compatibility and proper execution may necessitate additional configurations or steps in your workflow. You'll need to set up the GitHub Action with specifics such as the project path, build configuration, and signing information (to be securely stored as secrets). Ensure that your runner machine, where the action runs, has Xcode and the necessary tools installed. For assistance, you can refer to this link: github.com/marketplace/actions/unity-build-action
thanks for this vedio . i have error : Error: An error occurred trying to start process '/bin/bash' with working directory '/Users/runner/work/ipatest/ipatest/ios'. No such file or directory
Hey, Thanks for your comment, it seems like the error message is indicating an issue with executing a command in a specific directory, but it's not clear what the exact problem might be. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially fix the issue:
Double-check the directory path (/Users/runner/work/ipatest/ipatest/ios) to make sure it exists and is spelled correctly. If it doesn't, adjust it in your build script. Verify that /bin/bash is available on your system by running "which bash" in a terminal. If it's not found, you may need to install or correct the path to Bash.
Check the permissions of the directory and the Bash executable to ensure the user running the build process has the necessary permissions.
Try cleaning the build and reinstalling dependencies with "flutter clean" and "flutter pub get."
I hope these steps help you diagnose and resolve the issue! Let me know if you need further assistance.
Thank you for sharing such content. Will gonna check it out. Love from India. But please promise me😢 that you should help me if i face any problems😊

I want to download this ipa file in my ios device how can i?
Because when i am trying to install this ipa file it not working
Thanks for your feedback! 😊 As I mentioned at the end of the video, you'll need a third-party app to install an IPA file directly on your iPhone 📲, since it's not allowed otherwise.
Have you given the 'Scarlet' app a try? 🚀
Is this work for gitlab?...
Thanks for the comment! 😊
Indeed, it is possible, though the syntax and environment configuration differ between GitHub Actions and GitLab CI/CD!
If you haven't found the resource to do it using GitLab, let me know. I'll assist you and perhaps create another video specifically demonstrating the same task using GitLab! 🎥💻
@@ProgrammingWithFlexZ wow interesting, can't wait for it...
Sir, I've a question. Which macbook are you using for flutter ios development? Also if 8gb ram and 256 gb ssd enough?
Hi 😊,
Thank you for your message. I'm currently using the Air M1. While 8 GB of RAM is sufficient for most tasks, upgrading to 16 GB of RAM would undoubtedly provide a smoother and more efficient experience. 💻✨
@@ProgrammingWithFlexZ is 8gb sufficient for flutter to build for ios? What is your experience with 8gb ram? Plz help me out. I'm planning of buying MacBook.
Feel free to reach out to me via Telegram (@CodeWithFlexz) for further support!
There does not appear to be anything called developer in the iPhone privacy settings. After some research, I think a developer account is required for this. Is there a solution?
Hey, thanks for the feedback! Actually, you don't need an Apple Developer account to install this IPA output. I've successfully installed it on an iOS device using the app mentioned in the video. Please take a moment to watch the video again to understand the steps required for installation (➡️ ruclips.net/video/MwewA-z7U_Q/видео.htmlsi=CgbDx9T_RjUhgMZr). If you encounter any issues again, please don't hesitate to let me know.
After obtaining the IPA through my tutorial, please install the app from this link (usescarlet.com/), and refer to this tutorial (ruclips.net/video/MwewA-z7U_Q/видео.html) for instructions on installing it on your iOS device.
@@ProgrammingWithFlexZ There is no field called developer mode on my iOS device. It says everywhere that my iOS account must be developer in order for developer mode to appear.🤔
@@oguzaytar2788im on IOS 16, inside Privacy & Security there's developer mode
Thanks for it sir ❤
But when ever i try to upload this ipa file in diawi to share it shows error
“An error occurred:

Do you what shall I do to resolve this ??
Please reply as soon as possible 🙏

@@fuhovu2225 u got any solution for it brother?
Can we do this using command line in va code through without github action?
I haven't tried the method you mentioned yet, but I'll give it a shot and get back to you in a few days with my findings! 🧐 BTW, thanks a bunch for the feedback! 🙏
Despite that, the approach I outlined in the video didn't yield the desired results. you now considering using command line methods instead?
@@ProgrammingWithFlexZ this is the safe way to build iOS app ? Bcz in this case we are installing third parties app so
Absolutely, it's safe to use, but just keep in mind it's unsigned and typically utilized more for testing purposes.
@@jivani6695 can you please tell me how to do that! i don't know anything about code.
Hi, and for expo?
Hey, thanks for comment ! Could you provide more details about what you mean when you mention 'expo'?
Every time I try to start the IPA on the iPhone, it says there is no app bundle, what could it be?
👋 Hey there! Thanks for reaching out! 🙏 Could you please share the complete logs for the error?
Very good video. I have tried it and I have installed my application, but why does my application get stuck when opened and displays a white page ? thanks
Thank you so much for your feedback! 🙏 Much appreciated! 🌟 Are you using a native splash or Flutter screen utils package in your project?
@@ProgrammingWithFlexZ Thank you for replying. after I searched, it is possible that the error occurred because I have not set the firebase for the ios, I will try to set it later, thank you
You're very welcome! Your search result is true. This type of error often occurs when third-party packages aren't properly configured in the info.plist file. Completing this configuration can resolve the issue. Try configuring all the packages and services you've utilized, in the iOS. Afterward, give building a new iPA a shot. You've got this! 💪
I tried this and it worked perfectly. I made an update on my app and made another, it failed at "Run flutter build ios --release --no-codesign - (Encountered error while building for device. Error: Process completed with exit code 1.). What do I do?
Great to hear that everything worked out smoothly for you!
There are various factors that could trigger such issue. Firstly, ensure that the necessary read and write permissions are granted for the branch to build the IPA. Secondly, verify that the required configurations are added to the info.plist for your updated version, especially if you've incorporated new packages into your project. It's essential to consult the official documentation on pub.dev to identify any specific iOS configurations. If these steps haven't been completed yet, please ensure they're done before attempting to build the IPA.
Lastly, if the issue persists, please provide me with the exact information log messages when the error (Encountered error while building for device. Error: Process completed with exit code 1) occurs.
I'm always here to lend a hand whenever you need assistance.

How do I solve it
Hey,
The error message:
```
Error (Xcode): lib/utils/theme.dart:38:5: Error: No named parameter with the name 'backgroundColor'.
```
indicates where the issue is. Open the `theme.dart` file and check line 35 to see what you've defined. The error suggests that 'backgroundColor' is not a named parameter, so it might be defined incorrectly. Try modifying how it's defined if necessary.
Hope this helps! If you can't solve it, just reply to this comment! 😊
Can i do this with windows?
Thanks for the comment! 😊 Yes, you can definitely do it on a Windows machine-there are no limitations! 💻👍
what to do if scarlet is revoked ?
Hey, thanks for your comment! 🙌
What do you mean by 'revoked'? If you're saying Scarlet isn't working for you, you might want to look for a similar app that allows iOS users to install IPA files directly. Scarlet is one of the popular ones for that purpose. If you find another app that works for you, feel free to share it here so others can benefit from it too.
Thanks! 😊
Try it out, and if you couldn't find one, just let me know, I'll introduce one for you. 👍
@@ProgrammingWithFlexZ Thanks for replying, as I can see in your scarlet installation guide it shows '(signed)' under the install button in scarlet website but for me instead of 'signed' it shows (revoked). I successfully generated the .ipa file as you guided which is really helpful but I could not find any alternative to scarlet which works for me.

Hey, Thanks for your comment, Here are a few things you can try to fix this.
Review the build logs for any warnings or errors that might explain why the release files weren't created.
Double-check your custom build scripts to ensure there aren't any issues or steps that skip the release file generation.
Clean the project and rebuild it to see if the release files show up this time.
