Mac OS X Build Server Missing archived-expanded-entitlements.xcent file in IPA

Question

I am trying to archive a project with Xcode 6.1.1 and Mac OS X Server 4.0.3 and OS X 10.10.2. Signing the app with a "adHoc" provisioning works within the integration. But now i got the problem, that the file ".entitlements" does not get processed correctly.

When i download the xcarchive the archived-expanded-entitlements.xcent is part of the app bundle, but in the IPA file from the same integration the file is missing and so i can't install it on a device. Could it be that the export of an xcarchive with an "adHoc" certificate does not handle the entitelments the same way as with an enterprise or development provisioning? And if so, how should i configure the project that the archived-expanded-entitlements.xcent gets created with an "adHoc" provisioning?

Thanks for any Help

This may be related to a bug in xcode (see http://www.openradar.me/21309940). My workaround was to tweak my build script in continuous integration. After exporting the .ipa file it unzips the .ipa file, copies the archived-expanded-entitlements.xcent file from the .xcarchive directory to the Payload/<yourproject>.app directory and then rezips the Payload directory into a new .ipa file.
