How do I find the IPA file after a successful build?

Context

After running a successful build in Codemagic, you may be looking for the generated IPA file to download and use for your iOS application deployment or testing.

Answer

The IPA file appears under the Artifacts section on the build details page, but it must first be exported as an artifact in your codemagic.yaml configuration file.

To configure artifacts in your codemagic.yaml, add the following section:

artifacts:
  - build/ios/ipa/*.ipa
  - /tmp/xcodebuild_logs/*.log

Once you've added this configuration:

  1. Run a new build with the updated configuration

  2. Navigate to your build details page

  3. Look for the Artifacts tab or section

  4. Download the IPA file from there

The artifacts configuration tells Codemagic which files to preserve and make available for download after the build completes.
