How to create app file with fastlane for simulator

Question

I need to create with fastlane .app file (or .ipa file if it works to) which I could next drag and drop to simulator on another computer. I tried do it with gym or with xcodebuild parameters but I don't know how to do it.

For now I do it in this way:

• In XCode I build application for simulator

• Next I am searching app file in DerivedData (~/Library/Developer/XCode/DerivedData/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/)

• I copy this file somewhere else

But I need do it with fastlane.

Answer 1

This is the lane that I use:

lane :generate_test_app do     xcbuild(         workspace: "MyApp.xcworkspace",         scheme: "MyApp",         configuration: "Debug",         xcargs: "-sdk iphonesimulator SYMROOT='/var/tmp/'"     ) end 

It will leave the app in /var/tmp/Debug-iphonesimulator/MyApp.app
