Xcode 6 Save for Enterprise Deployment does not create plist for ipa anymore?

Question

Xcode 5 helped in creating plist descriptor for enterprise ipa. Xcode 6 (6A313) creates ipa only. Is this a bug or intentional change? If so - what would be the reason for taking a step back?

If I did not have previously generated plist using Xcode 5, I would need to crete it manually myself. Do you know of any automatic tool which would help in the process?

Answer 1

I'm having the same problem. Needed to put a build out last night. I ended up just reusing an old plist and updating it. Here's a template:

<?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>items</key>
        <array>
                <dict>
                        <key>assets</key>
                        <array>
                                <dict>
                                        <key>kind</key>
                                        <string>software-package</string>
                                        <key>url</key>
                                        <string>[INSERT URL HERE]</string>
                                </dict>
                        </array>
                        <key>metadata</key>
                        <dict>
                                <key>bundle-identifier</key>
                                <string>[INSERT BUNDLE ID HERE]</string>
                                <key>bundle-version</key>
                                <string>[INSERT VERSION HERE]</string>
                                <key>kind</key>
                                <string>software</string>
                                <key>title</key>
                                <string>[INSERT APP TITLE HERE]</string>
                        </dict>
                </dict>
        </array>
</dict>
</plist>

Answer 2

Couldn't find other solution than reusing an old .plist-file --- worked perfectly.

Answer 3

I fixed this issue in following manner(As @pir800 mentioned)-

1) Take plist file of an old project and rename it name should be same as ipa file.

2) Changed values of following keys in plist file - a) url. b) bundle-identifier. c) title.

And then put ipa and plist on server. Remaining things are same like Xcode5.

But it is very bad, apple should inform to developer and mention such type changes in document.

I do not my way is correct or wrong but my Enterprise In-house Distribution build properly downloaded and working. ....:)

I replied same on apple developer also. You can check this thread https://devforums.apple.com/message/1076995#1076995 also If any one find better solution then please reply.

Thank you...
