How can I build an Ipa file without a dev account?

Hello guys,

I’m trying to build an ipa file based on ionic project without Apple developer account.

I found this tutorial:

It says you can change signing app requirement on SDKSettings.plist file… but I can’t find this file in my ionic project.
Where can I edit this setting?

Edit “CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED” from “YES” to “NO.”
Edit “AD_HOC_CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED” from “NO” to “YES.

If there’s a better way to work around this, please let me know.
Simply changing zip to ipa extension sounds easy.

I don’t develop for apple devices but I just want to test ipa files on iphone.

Thanks,

Hi, SDKSettings.plist is a XCode file, it could be found inside: Applications ▸ ⁨Xcode⁩ ▸ ⁨Contents⁩ ▸ ⁨Developer⁩ ▸ ⁨Platforms⁩ ▸ ⁨iPhoneOS.platform⁩ ▸ ⁨Developer⁩ ▸ ⁨SDKs⁩ ▸ ⁨iPhoneOS.sdk⁩
