Command class

Comprehensive iOS build command implementation.

Extends the base Commander class to provide a full-featured iOS build workflow, including IPA generation, code signing, export method selection, and Xcode integration.

Key iOS features:

  • IPA generation for distribution
  • Automated code signing with certificates and provisioning profiles
  • Supports App Store, ad-hoc, enterprise, and development export methods
  • Handles Debug, Release, and Archive configurations
  • Builds for device and simulator targets
  • Validates macOS platform and Xcode environment

Example usage:

final command = Command();
final result = await command.run();
if (result == 0) {
  print('iOS build completed successfully');
} else {
  print('Build failed with exit code: $result');
}
