Assembly in xcode without $99. Is it possible?

Question

iOS

Hello fellow programmers.
I recently took on a project. Not for sale, but for a narrow circle of people. It's not that I'm a fucking programmer, but I decided to use the Internet to solve problems along the way. The project is in Unity and I need to compile it on Android and iOS. And if things are easily solved with Android on Windows, then iOS has been freezing me out for the second day.
I work on a VMware machine. I build the project in Unity and open it in Xcode. When you try to Archive or Build the program - you need a provisioning profile. I understand that without a paid developer account, you can’t get it. The only "working" option to see the application on iOS is to build a project for Xcode under SimulationSDK in Unity and run it on the simulator.
In general, I'm sorry for such an obvious backstory. I think many have long understood the essence of the problem.
Is there a way to build a project without a paid developer account? As I understand it, in this situation, I still have one way out - to ask someone with such an account to collect and upload the application.
I would appreciate any comment.

Answer 1

You can get a free developer certificate. It is valid for only 7 days, and only for the developer's device. After 7 days, the application will not work on other devices.
To get around the 7-day limit, you can buy a developer certificate in clubbing, for example, theux and some others. But again, it will only work on 1 device and without the possibility of publishing in the AppStore.
In terms of distribution (if, for example, you bought several certificates together), there is, for example, diawi.com.
If there are problems with compilation (assembly of ipa), then there are guys, usually freelancers, who are ready to rent you their poppy for a while. I can help with this.

Well, you can build it under the connected device for free:

But laying out the application will not work for free. As well as under Android (if we are talking about Google Play).
