  1. Export Project in Godot:

    • Open your project in Godot Engine.
    • Go to Project > Export and select Add… to add a new export preset.
    • Choose iOS from the list and configure the export settings as needed. For most cases, the default settings will suffice.
    • Click Export Project, choose a destination, and save your .ipa file.
