Long-path issue workarounds - How to build iOS project from CLI

[bitshftr]

In Adam's "Long-path issue workarounds" section of the readme, step 8 is "Build your project/solution successfully from the command line." I've been using VS for years, but never had a need for the CLI, as everything else builds/deploys correctly from the VS IDE. I'm now trying to do a Release build of my iOS app for TestFlight. Normally I would right-click on the iOS project in Solution Explorer, and choose "Rebuild", right before right-clicking and choosing "Archive".

Can someone please show me (or show me a link to CLI documentation for) how to do the equivalent of "Rebuild" via the CLI? Also, is there a CLI equivalent for "Archive"? Thanks in advance.

I'm on a Windows 10 machine, paired to a Mac mini. Latest version of VS. AdamE.Firebase.iOS.CloudMessaging version 11.6.0. Plugin.Firebase.CloudMessaging version 3.1.2.

Edit: I assume that "Deploy" in Solution Explorer is equivalent to the old "Archive" I did with Xamarin.

We used River to build the project on a Mac and create the IPA, then we used Visual Studio for Mac to deploy it to app store, because of some strange provisioning profile and certificate problems in River. That worked for us.

Its also possible to use River to add the libs on Windows when you allow long path in Windows 11, but was not possible for me to start up Visual studio after. It get stuck on "preparing solution" with latest version.
