Codemagic users who do not own Macs, I have several questions (Transporter? and other questions), looking for metadata xml structure..

[LeaderBronze]

If you are looking for help, please confirm the following...

• I confirm I have searched the Docs, Codemagic Sample Projects, and GitHub Discussions.
• I confirm the software versions on my local computer match the ones in CI environment (e.g. Xcode version, Gradle version). See here
• I confirm I am able to do a fresh clone of the repository and build the project on my local computer.

Which mobile framework are you using?

Flutter (Dart)

Steps to reproduce

Hi,
I am trying to build a flutter app with CodeMagic to make an iOS file (ipa), the build happens with no problem related to bundle name and that sort, except few minutes after the app appears in the testFlight page, if I add any internal testers,, the app goes (i guess adding a tester triggers it,) it goes to review, and after few minutes it shows this error "Invalid Binary"

I did lot of research, one of codemagic company members talked about this so called "Transporter" (iTMSTtransporter) it works on windows but it is tricky, the documentation is not extensive

I would like to ask if anyone knows how to use it? AI struggles a bit
From what I gathered it seems it needs a transporter package "myapp.itmsp" that contains some sort of METADATA XML

Anyone used that before without using mac? (from windows)
and If anyone using it wich mac, do you have the metadata xml structure I can copy?

__

any other advice for compiling ios apps when you dont have a mac? (anything else I should pay attention to?)
Thanks

Hello @dam-ease , on the contraty, I think needs to have lot of duplicates to have a chance of reaching someone who is not part of one community ot another, THis is a tricky question where there is very little cealr guidance, the official guide is unreadable and does not have the answers,
So far I am stuck in between these choice:

Hey @LeaderBronze,
Seeing that you have moved past this error, I'll go ahead to close this now.
Having the issue in one place also helps with getting a solution more easily from experience. It's also better to keep messages concise and avoid repeated posts to ensure clarity.
