One option you can use is using the Xamarin Test Recorder to inject Calabash into your IPA: https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/testcloud/testrecorder/

This method is framework agnostic as far as what was used to build the original IPA, since it injects it into the compiled IPA. The Xamarin Test Recorder does this after you set up the app to work with the recorder: https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/testcloud/testrecorder/#Recording_a_Test

At this point, you can use the test recorder itself to create UITests and export them: https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/testcloud/testrecorder/#Exporting_the_Recorded_Test. Or you can just take the resigned IPA which will be in the same location as the original IPA, with the name prepended with "xtr-" like so:

• myAwesomeApp.ipa (original IPA)
• xtr-myAwesomeApp.ipa (IPA with Calabash)

• IPA is resigned by Test Recorder - In order for Xamarin Test Recorder to inject Calabash, it also needs to resign the IPA. For this the system doing the resigning needs to have a valid signing identity and provisioning profile that is valid, including entitlements the app uses.

• Any IPA containing Calabash will be rejected by the iOS app store - This is true no matter what method is used to add Calabash to the IPA, but it's important to remember. In the example above, you would test with xtr-myAwesomeApp.ipa and submit myAwesomeApp.ipa itself to the app store.

• Recorded Tests must be exported as a separate .cs file to be used - Even if you recorded some tests, those are not contained in the IPA itself directly, but Test Recorder can export them as a .cs file, structured in the same way as how you would handwrite Xamarin.UITests.
