Archive for Publishing not creating archive file

-- -- 922

Visual Studio Mac.

MAUI app builds fine however Archive for Publishing does not create an archive file without any apparent error message. Checked under XCode->Organize->Window as well just to be sure.

What can I do to fix this issue and get the archive?

Thanks

Do you go to the "Select signing identity and provisioning profile" stage? Is there any prompt to export the .ipa file?

I tried to publish a demo app to AppStore, but I cannot reproduce the issue. Could you provide the detailed VS version, MAUI version?

Hi

There is no prompt. Building app works fine then selecting Archive for Publishing gives a few messages at the status bar as if it is archiving and then it goes quite.

Thanks

Regards

On the top bar of VS for Mac, you could go to View->Other Windows->Archive, then archive the app again, and check if there are any warnings or errors.

Thanks for your sharing, please use VS 2022 for pc instead. Since I still cannot reproduce the issue, it's suggested that you could try to report a problem for Visual Studio for Mac.

Hello,

As you @-- -- said, you could use VS 2022(Windows), please use it instead. Since I still cannot reproduce the issue, it's suggested that you could try to report a problem for Visual Studio for Mac.

Thanks for your sharing and understanding.

Best Regards,

Hello!

Check this configurations:

Output file:

Be sure to check the IPA option:

Finally, try to build it from the command line:

And if nothing works, post your building and output log.

Hi

Thanks. Changing from Executable to Library removes 'Generic Device' option from under Release so had to put Executable back.

Build logs attached as well as project settings in case there is something there.

Build is successful. Archive for Publishing says 'Archiving App Bundle' for a few moments then goes quite and no archive appears in Archives window.
