How to get a distribution app when using xcodebuild -exportArchive (Xcode8.3, Auto Signing)?

Question

After update Xcode8.3, the options \'-exportSigningIdentity\', \'-exportProvisioningProfile\' and \'-exportFormat\' are removed from \'xcodebuild

Answer 1

Sounds like you want to create an IPA on the command line from an existing xcarchive. Since Xcode 7, the preferred way to do this is (from man xcodebuild):

xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath xcarchivepath -exportPath destinationpath -exportOptionsPlist path

So in your case:

xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath MyApp.xcarchive -exportPath MyApp.ipa -exportOptionsPlist exportOptions.plist

exportOptions.plist is a PLIST file that contains various parameters configuring the IPA export. See xcodebuild -help for all available options. You'll have to at least specifiy an entry for method (app-store, ad-hoc, enterprise etc. - defaults to development). If you just want to export for App-Store distribution, the file should look like this:

    method
    app-store
