Question

How do I upload an app to App Store Connect from Xcode if I don't have an iPhone?

• If I set the Target SDK to simulator in Unity, I cannot archive.
• If I set it to device SDK, I cannot build it because I do not have a provisioning profile. And I can't get a provisioning profile because I don't own an Apple device.

Answer 1

You should first go to your apple developer account and generate a valid provisioning profile for your application.

As for how do that: https://hyperpad.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204378199-Create-a-Distribution-Provisioning-Profile

After that, you must configure your profile in your application in the XCode (you do that by selecting the proper profiles that you created in the General tabs of your project), and set the device target to deploy as "Generic iOS Device".

Then you are ready to go in Product > Archive > Upload to Appstore.
