Hello,
After upgrading our project from 5.4.4 to 5.5.4 remote building for iOS from Windows stopped working. I’ve reported this issue to Epic but thought I’d share my findings and workaround here as well for others that might run into the issue.
We got the following error:
UATHelper: Packaging (IOS): Total execution time: 0.99 seconds
UATHelper: Packaging (IOS): Precompiled rules assembly '/Users/<user>/Documents/Library/Application Support/Epic/UnrealEngine/Intermediate/Build/BuildRules/MarketplaceRules.dll' does not exist.

It seems like UBT incorrectly reports a “Provision Not Found” error when it’s not able to find certain DLL files. In this case MarketplaceRules.dll. The file is correctly copied over during the rsync to but UBT is looking for it in the wrong place.
As a workaround you can create a symbolic link on the Mac:
mkdir -p "/Users/<user>/Documents/Library/Application Support/Epic/UnrealEngine/Intermediate/Build"
ln -s "/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Epic/UnrealEngine/Intermediate/Build/BuildRules" "/Users/user>/Documents/Library/Application Support/Epic/UnrealEngine/Intermediate/Build/BuildRules"
