iOS app bundle not found at {}. Ensure the iOS build complet

Error message

iOS app bundle not found at {}. Ensure the iOS build completed successfully.

What it means

bundle_ios_app expected an already-assembled .app bundle at the build's root directory but it does not exist. The iOS build pipeline should have produced it earlier; its absence means that stage failed or was skipped, so bundling bails.

Solutions

1. The iOS .app bundle is missing. Run the iOS build first (dx build --platform ios) and make sure it completes successfully.
