ipa file not found error during device builds

See original GitHub issue

My tns info results.

✔ Getting NativeScript components versions information… ⚠ Update available for component nativescript. Your current version is 6.7.8 and the latest available version is 8.1.3. ✔ Component tns-core-modules has 6.5.27 version and is up to date. ✔ Component tns-android has 6.5.3 version and is up to date. ✔ Component tns-ios has 6.5.4 version and is up to date.

Doing a build tns build ios --for-device --env.uglify --release --provision "xxxx" and getting the following error

** EXPORT SUCCEEDED **

Project successfully built.
No .ipa found in /Users/mini/Projects/xxx/platforms/ios/build/Release-iphoneos directory.

There’s an .ipa file in the folder.

My xcode version is 12.5.1 and I would prefer not to update.

I’m using NS 6 and have added the fixes on How to Fix NativeScript Issue with iOS14 and XCode 12

I added your suggestion and now even the iphone device build works.
