Help: xcode-project build-ipa: error: argument --workspace: Path "ios/App/App.xcworkspace" does not exist

So far codemagic, a very impressive tool. Android builds work quite smoothly.
Running into a very strange issue on iOS.

For IPA distribution, I get this error.
Help: xcode-project build-ipa: error: argument --workspace: Path "ios/App/App.xcworkspace" does not exist

However, the path is exactly correct for Ionic Capacitor project of mine.
For instance, cd ios && pod install works perfectly because iOS folder exists.

In iOS folder, under App folder there is App.xcworkspace folder. However, codemagic is not able to read it, why?

Here is my pipeline code.

workflows:
  ios-workflow:
    name: iOS Workflow
    max_build_duration: 120

        submit_to_app_store: false
        
      

If this works with iOS as well then we are through, please help!
