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 -exportArchive'.

When i try to get a distribution app, i get the error below:
xcodebuild: error: invalid option '-exportProvisioningProfile'.

So how can i get distribution MyApp.ipa from MyApp.xcarchive, when the project has set Automatic Signing Enabled?

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:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>method</key>
    <string>app-store</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Just replace this parameter :

-exportProvisioningProfile "MyProvisioningProfile"

with:

PROVISIONING_PROFILE_SPECIFIER="MyProvisioningProfile"

Hope it helps.
