IOS

IOS builds require macOS, Xcode, and the IOS workload:

dotnet workload install ios
carbon platform add ios

Configure the bundle under bundle.ios:

{
  "bundle": {
    "ios": {
      "bundleIdentifier": "dev.example.app",
      "minimumOSVersion": "15.0",
      "developmentTeam": "TEAMID"
    }
  }
}

Usage descriptions in permissions.descriptions become Info.plist values during platform sync.

Build and run against a booted simulator:

carbon dev ios
carbon bundle ios --simulator

Device and archive builds require an installed signing identity and provisioning profile:

carbon bundle ios --device
carbon bundle ios --archive

Carbon stages generated IOS projects in a local build cache before invoking the .NET iOS SDK. This keeps native-link output consistent and avoids signing failures caused by cloud file-provider metadata.

The active Xcode version must match the installed workload. carbon doctor prints a concrete warning when they differ.
