[Question] 'flet build ipa' Error

[Zeb152]

Question

The full command I ran was flet build ipa --project plant-app.py --team "my profile" (NOTE: my profile is my first and last name, so when I put it in quotations I put a space in between. I am not sure if that is the cause, and if it is I am not sure how to remedy it because my profile name literally has a space in it.)

This error came up when I added the --team "" line to the command, because when I ran it before without that it just builds an xcode archive. I couldn't do anything with the archive, because it had no profile.

After looking further, I concluded that it was only because of the space in between "First Last" of my name in the profile. I need a way to force the JSON Text to read the space I believe. Any ideas?

I just solved the problem. Each profile has a unique ID under App Store Connect, found in the developer account settings. So, instead of "First Last", I put "XXXXXXXX" (my ID profile number) and it built successfully. The JSON Text is able to compile that.
