Add option to obtain ipa without deployment about ios-deploy HOT 5 CLOSED

I don't think this is within the scope of what this tool does: "Install and debug iPhone apps without using Xcode".

To use this tool in the first place, you would have to already have a built and signed app (thus outside the scope of this tool).

from ios-deploy.

The app is already built by using cordova build ios
However in a continuous integration processs, we don't really want to install the .ipa itself on a physical device.

So would be great if we can use this tool for creating the .ipa but not actually deploy it.
It will be installed/deployed manually by scanning a qr by the testers and developers.

Does it make better sense now?

I understood you the first time.

Wouldn't be easier just to add --save path/to/new.ipa --nostart --nodebug since you have already all implemented in place?

from ios-deploy.

This tool does not build anything, or packages anything, so it does not have anything to save. It just installs the .app bundle, thats it. I don't know where you got the information that it makes an .ipa file.
