I just tried to bundle iOS application. It failed.  
My defold verstion is 1.3.0.  
Output in terminal:

Are you using a custom .plist for your project?

We’re having some SSL handshake issues and extended the most recent beta which include a fix for this:

> [@Defold 1.3.3 BETA](https://forum.defold.com/t/defold-1-3-3-beta/70927/2):
>
> Today is the 1.3.3 version release day, but we decided to postpone it for a week. We found an issue when TLSv1.3 SSL handshake fails with JDK 11.0.1 we used. That’s why we updated the newer JDK 11.0.15 in the editor, which also needs an update of the JOGL library our editor uses. Version with these changes is building now and will be ready in an hour or so. The fixes this version includes (in comparison with the previous avaliable beta): new JDK 11.0.15 and JOGL library in the editor; fix [“…](https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/6624)

An updated version of the editor with this fix included will be released tomorrow (it’s a bank holiday in Sweden today).

Thanks for your helps. I just wondering why internet connection is required for bundle iOS application, what we gonna upload to remote engine to bundle iOS application? Is the source code included? I have tried Godot engine before, it supports export as iOS project locally, which is very helpful to edit configuration for the iOS project and submit to appstore in Xcode. Is it possible to make it happen in Defold?

Oh, no you do not need an internet connection to bundle, unless you use extensions.

I thought you got that SSL error when creating a new empty project. The project templates are hosted on GitHub and downloaded by the editor when used. Here’s the empty project template for instance: [GitHub - defold/template-empty: The empty project template that is available from the Defold editor launch screen · GitHub](https://github.com/defold/template-empty)

When did you get the SSL error?

After I click create empty project button, defold start to download the template.

Is it possible to export defold project as iOS project locally which can be opened by Xcode? I saw Godot make it, can defold team make it too?

In case you are using native extensions, you might need to build the executable, then ofc you will need internet access to reach the build server.

No, a Defold project is quite different from an XCode (or VIsual Studio project).

Could you pls also share list of your dependencies and options you are using for bundling? (also what build server you are using)  
Because I’m building iOS bundle without any issues, I need more info to figure that out.

Sorry, but I can’t repo the issue you have,  
pls try to download the latest Defold 1.3.2 (or event 1.3.3 beta) and check it there  
Also, if you have a minimal repo project where you reproduce the issue pls share it.

I tried to update defold to 1.3.2, but no luck. Same build error. For android bundle, it works like before. I have no idea why iOS not work. Does the extension admob android and iOS works in different way?
