Cannot get Preview App working

[dlj66]

If you are looking for help, please confirm the following...

• I confirm I have searched the Docs, Codemagic Sample Projects, and GitHub Discussions.
• I confirm the software versions on my local computer match the ones in CI environment (e.g. Xcode version, Gradle version). See here
• I confirm I am able to do a fresh clone of the repository and build the project on my local computer.

Which mobile framework are you using?

Flutter (Dart)

Hello @dlj66 ,

The button only appears if you have the right type of artifacts generated with the build.
For iOS, build with iPhone simulator SDK to get an unsigned (.app) file.
For example

iOS

xcodebuild build \
            -project "yourproject.xcodeproj" \
            -scheme "yourscheme" \
            -sdk iphonesimulator \
            -configuration Debug 

Flutter iOS

flutter build ios --simulator

For Android, you can run an .apk file on the Android emulator

./gradlew assembleDebug OR flutter build apk

In your case, your YAML has this set up under the flutter-ios-simulator workflow, but according to your build id, you are running wintracker-ios-manual, which is a release workflow. please make sure to build from the right workflow.
