I can't generate application release on Xcode for ios ( for testing purposes not to publish ) [ipa archive file]

note 1: I didn't purchase the annual 99$ membership of the app store is it a must to generate a release ??

note 2: I don't have ios real device I'm just using an emulator, is a real ios device a must to generate the release version even for testing

here is what I get on Xcode : enter image description here

    I don't think you can build IPA without an Apple Developer Account and Provisioning profile. – MobIT May 11 '21 at 12:02

    You need to have one device registered in your account in order to create a provisioning profile. You need a provisioning profile to create an ad-hoc archive. Without a real device there is no point in creating an archive since you can only run the build on the device(s) contained in the provisioning profile. To get a build that runs on any device you need to submit it to Apple for review and loading into the App Store; this requires a paid membership. – Paulw11 May 11 '21 at 12:12
  • thank you, I understand that I need to have a paid membership on Appel app store and a real ios device ! is it true ? – nadir hamidou May 12 '21 at 10:50
