Deploying to the iOS app store

[morphytron]

Problem
I was able to create an .ipa from the .app file and meet all the certificate, profile provisioning requirements. However, I cannot upload the artefact using "Transporter" for macos, and this is the error I get:

Validation failed (409)
Incorrect Platform. You included arm64 executable “PracticeTestTaker.app/practice_test_taker” in your iOS bundle. Only iOS executables can be included. (ID: b7d11c5b-00ce-4fdd-a4c9-3c81e99be43e)

I tried variations of the archs available: arm, and arm64. I think the correct architecture for ios is aarch, which is not available via the dx cli.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

#!/bin/zsh
set -e
rm -rf ../target/dx/practice_test_taker/release/ios 
dx bundle --arch arm --platform=ios --release
cp -f ios/Info.plist ../target/dx/practice_test_taker/release/ios/PracticeTestTaker.app/
cd ../
cp flashcardsstoreprovisioningprofile.mobileprovision target/dx/practice_test_taker/release/ios/embedded.mobileprovision
cd target/dx/practice_test_taker/release/ios/
mkdir Payload
mv PracticeTestTaker.app Payload/
cp embedded.mobileprovision Payload/PracticeTestTaker.app/
codesign -s "Apple Distribution: XXXXXXX" -f Payload/PracticeTestTaker.app
7z a practest.ipa Payload

To Info.plist, I had to add a key and override, DTPlatformName, to include iphoneos, which was not in the original.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
  <key>CFBundleDisplayName</key>
  <string>Practice Test</string>
  <key>DTPlatformName</key>
  <string>iphoneos</string>
  <key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
  <string>practice_test_taker</string>
  <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
  <string>club.eleventh-hour.flashcardstest</string>
  <key>CFBundleName</key>
  <string>PracticeTestTaker</string>
  <key>CFBundleVersion</key>
  <string>0.1.0</string>
  <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
  <string>0.1.0</string>
  <key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key>
  <string>en_US</string>
  <key>UILaunchStoryboardName</key>
  <string></string>
  <key>LSRequiresIPhoneOS</key>
  <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

then, upload the generated .ipa via Transporter.

Expected behavior

To upload to the App Store successfully.
Environment:
