I already asked the question on GitHub issue tracker [here](https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/17649), and I got linked this documentation here: [https://github.com/appium/appium-xcuitest-driver](https://github.com/appium/appium-xcuitest-driver)

But I will reask here as the documentation is long and I can’t see an how to for this in it (or did I missed it?)

Currently we produce production ipa on appcenter and testeurs download ipa using there real device, apparently this build cannot be used for e2e testing, and we should build another package for it.

Does anybody knows how to ? (doc, tutorial, or any clue)

This is the project: [https://github.com/pass-culture/pass-culture-app-native/](https://github.com/pass-culture/pass-culture-app-native/)

I have tried to run:

```bash
$ xcodebuild -workspace PassCulture.xcworkspace -scheme PassCulture-Testing -sdk iphonesimulator -configuration Release

```

It ended up with:

```bash
/Users/dka/workspace/github.com/pass-culture/pass-culture-app-native/ios/Pods/Pods.xcodeproj: warning: The iOS Simulator deployment target 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is set to 9.0, but the range of supported deployment target versions is 11.0 to 16.0.99. (in target 'RCT-Folly' from project 'Pods')
**BUILD SUCCEEDED**

```

I then run to create the zip:

```bash
ditto -ck --sequesterRsrc --keepParent ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/PassCulture-ayoedldtcbbtkpapbwslbooczado/Build/Products/Release-iphonesimulator/PassCulture.app ./PassCulture.zip

```

Is this right?

Have a great day with thanks!
