Build and locate XCUITest Suite for device

[emin-grbo]

Hi!
Trying to build and ZIP the XCUI test suite, but no matter which approach I take, I have issues retrieving the file.

I was only ever able to get the file usually located in DerivedData/**/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/
never the one which I actually need DerivedData/**/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/

In other words, my build target needs to be for generic/device.

Is there a setting I am missing where a runner would be built for a device?
Thank you!

@emin-grbo Do you have an xcodebuild command that does what you want? If so, how does it differ from the one this action generates (it's printed in the logs before actually running it)?

Thank you for responding @ffried !
This is the default one I was using, but I had issues with it as well and assumed I did something wrong with my initial setup.

run: xcodebuild -workspace ./TARGET.xcworkspace -scheme TARGET-UITests -clonedSourcePackagesDirPath SourcePackages -allowProvisioningUpdates -resolvePackageDependencies -destination generic/platform=iOS build-for-testing

Good note about checking the logs and comparing them. Will do that next 🙌
