Create IPA in Visual Studio without Developer Account

We need to release our Xamarin.Forms app for our customer as ipa-file, so he can release it in his company enterprise store. So my plan for deployment is this:

Can i do this within Visual Studio without an apple developer account? Or do i need to handle it in xcode? (i didn't work with xcode yet).

In order for you to build iOS solutions in Xamarin, you need an Apple Developer Account as this is where your certificates and provisioning profiles are stored.

You can always import a certificate that has been provided by someone else.

Afterwards, you can build your IPA in Visual Studio. You just need to set up a Build Host and use an Ad-Hoc Distribution in your case.

It may seem a bit tedious to configure your certificates and signing identities if you havn't done so before, but we've all been there.
