Can I build my game as APK/AAB/IPA without an Apple or Google account?
Yes.
The wizard command is designed to generate your own credentials for signing and publishing, but you might not need this when initially building your game.
You can create a ShipThis account, create the game and then run the ship command using demo credentials. Later, when you need to set up publishing, you can re-run the wizard command.
