Building to iOS without Mac using Codemagic

I currently want to deploy my Flutter app to Apple's App Store but unfortunately I don't have a Mac since its quite expensive for me. However I found a workaround here and tried Codemagic to build and deploy the app to AppStore. However upon trying to build for iOS within Codemagic, I got an error and its:

════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Building a deployable iOS app requires a selected Development Team with a 
Provisioning Profile. Please ensure that a Development Team is selected by:
  1- Open the Flutter project's Xcode target with
       open ios/Runner.xcworkspace
  2- Select the 'Runner' project in the navigator then the 'Runner' target
     in the project settings
  3- In the 'General' tab, make sure a 'Development Team' is selected. 
     You may need to:
         - Log in with your Apple ID in Xcode first
         - Ensure you have a valid unique Bundle ID
         - Register your device with your Apple Developer Account
         - Let Xcode automatically provision a profile for your app
  4- Build or run your project again

For more information, please visit:
  https://flutter.dev/setup/#deploy-to-ios-devices

Or run on an iOS simulator without code signing

Please bear with me with this, I cant totally follow the docs regarding the deployment of a Flutter app to AppStore since I dont have a Mac.

Thank you very much!

if you are looking for whats inside my info.plist here it is:

The start of your info.plist is invalid, it should look like this:

    <key>io.flutter.embedded_views_preview</key>
    <true/>
    <key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key>
    <string>$(DEVELOPMENT_LANGUAGE)</string>

You can see that the io.flutter.embedded_views_preview has been pasted in between the existing CFBundleDevelopmentRegion and its value.
