Whats the best approach for generating an IPA file from command-line?
I'm on xcode 4.2 and generating the archive using:
xcodebuild -scheme AppStore clean archive
This generates the .dSYM and .app files in the build output directory, after codesigning. How should I proceed to generate the .ipa file? In other words, I'm looking for the command-line equivalent of doing the following in GUI
Thanks!

Creating an XCUITest Packageipa Testing with XCUITest. Open your app project in Xcode. Select Generic iOS Device or Any iOS Device (arm64) as your project's device target. Make sure that the your UI tests are part of a Target Membership and that those Targets are selected to be built in your Xcode Build scheme.
Now you have to do below steps: Go to Window->Organiser->Archives Here, select your archive fine and click on "Distribute App" button on right side Then Instead of upload, select Export option, and continue selecting default options, it will end you up with generating ipa file.
Xcode 3.2 provides an awesome new feature under the Build menu, "Build and Archive" which generates an . ipa file suitable for Ad Hoc distribution. You can also open the Organizer, go to "Archived Applications," and "Submit Application to iTunesConnect."
The missing piece is using the PackageApplication utility.
/usr/bin/xcrun -sdk iphoneos PackageApplication -v $FULL_PATH_TO_APP -o $OUTPUT_PATH
You can also pass this script options for resigning, and profile embedding. Using the --sign and --embed flags respectively.
