Build & Ship an iOS App With ONE Command (No Xcode, No Certificates)
Setting up iOS builds shouldn't mean a lost afternoon in Xcode — the Keychain, three certificates you didn't know expired, a provisioning profile that doesn't match your bundle id, and an App Store Connect key you copy-paste once and never find again. So we built the Capgo Builder onboarding: capgo build init walks you through the entire iOS credential setup, creates your App Store Connect API key for you, and ships the app from the cloud. No Xcode. No Mac signing. One guided command.

capgo build init is the missing piece between "I have a Capacitor app" and "it's in TestFlight." It detects your project and handles the Apple paperwork nobody wants to do:
✓ One guided command — capgo build init walks the whole iOS setup, start to finish
✓ Creates your App Store Connect API key FOR you — a signed, guided macOS helper captures the Key ID, Issuer ID, and one-time .p8, validates it with Apple, and saves it. Zero copy-paste.
✓ Distribution certificate + App Store provisioning profile created automatically
✓ No Xcode, no Keychain wrangling — native builds run in the cloud, so you don't need a Mac to build
✓ Signature-verified helper — the macOS helper is Developer-ID signed + notarized, and the CLI only launches it if it verifies (clean manual fallback otherwise)
✓ Resumable — Ctrl+C and pick up exactly where you left off; it never re-creates certificates
✓ Then ship it — capgo build request --platform ios → a real native build in the cloud → TestFlight / App Store
✓ Cross-platform CLI — guided key creation is the macOS bonus; the rest works on Linux and Windows too
If you've ever spent an evening fighting Xcode signing, certificates, and provisioning profiles just to get one build out the door — this video is for you.
