Hello,

Please suggest how do I create such executable file for iphone using .NET MAUI

You can use the following command:

dotnet publish -f net8.0-ios -c Release -p:ArchiveOnBuild=true -p:CodesignKey="Apple Distribution: John Smith (AY2GDE9QM7)" -p:CodesignProvision="MyMauiApp"

Note: .net7 is not supported, please update to .net8. Publishing iOS app needs a Mac (if you are using VS on a Windows machine, please pair to Mac) and the matching distribution certificate and provisioning profile.

Besides, it's recommended that you use VS directly to publish iOS app.

Please see
