In @.github/workflows/ios.yml:
- Around line 8-13: Update the path filters in the iOS workflow so validation
and IPA packaging run when any relevant input changes, including test/**,
integration_test/**, asset directories, and build configuration files;
alternatively remove the filters to avoid skipped checks. Preserve the existing
workflow jobs and commands.
- Line 35: Update the workflow action references for actions/checkout,
subosito/flutter-action, and actions/upload-artifact to immutable full commit
SHAs, retaining each corresponding release version in an adjacent comment.
- Line 35: Update the actions/checkout@v4 step to set persist-credentials to
false, preventing the job token from being stored in local Git configuration
before pull-request-controlled code runs.

Summary
This PR adds a GitHub Actions workflow to build the Mostro Mobile iOS application without requiring code signing or an Apple Developer account.
The goal is to provide a reproducible iOS build artifact directly from GitHub Actions and establish a foundation for iOS testing and future distribution.
What it does
--no-codesignRunner.appwas generated successfullyRunner.appinto a standard.ipastructure (Payload/Runner.app)Mostro-iOS-unsigned.ipaTriggers
The workflow can run:

The workflow was tested successfully on this fork using GitHub-hosted macOS runners.
Two CI runs completed successfully, including:
Runner.appgenerationNo Apple signing certificate, provisioning profile, or Apple Developer account is required for the CI build.
Important note
The generated IPA is intentionally unsigned.
It is intended as a reproducible build artifact and does not bypass Apple's code-signing requirements. Installation on physical iOS devices still requires an appropriate signing/sideloading method.
Motivation
Mostro Mobile already contains an iOS project. This workflow makes it possible for contributors to continuously verify that the iOS target builds successfully and provides a foundation for future official iOS distribution.
