If you’re using Visual Studio to build your .NET MAUI app on a Mac, locating the IPA (iOS App Package) file can be a bit tricky. Let’s explore where you can find it:
Build Server Location:
When building a .NET MAUI app with a Mac as a build server, the “Show IPA File on Build Server” option in Visual Studio is grayed out.
However, you can still find the IPA file on the Mac.
Navigate to the following directory on your Mac:
~/Library/Caches/Xamarin/mtbs/builds
Replace
~
with your user’s home directory.Keep in mind that the user’s Library folder is hidden by default. You can either:
- Show hidden files using
Cmd + Shift + .
in Finder. - Navigate through the terminal or Finder’s “Go to folder…” option using
Cmd + Shift + G
.
- Show hidden files using
IPA File Location:
- Inside the
builds
folder, you’ll find the generated IPA files corresponding to your .NET MAUI builds.
Remember that the
~/Library/Caches/Xamarin/mtbs/builds
directory contains the IPA files created during the build process. If you encounter any issues or don’t see the expected files, double-check the path and ensure that you’re looking in the correct location.
