Xcode 9 crashes while exporting ipa from archive

Question

I created an archive for any project in Xcode 9. Then I try to create an ipa file (either development or ad-hoc). I first try to export the archive. Then I select either Development or AdHoc Distribution. The Xcode 9 crashes. I even added 'compile bitcode' option in the app's info.plist. I am able to create an ipa with the same project in Xcode 8.

In my case this was due to a pending Apple license agreement that was causing Xcode's automatic provisioning to crash.

Log onto developer.apple.com and make sure you do not have a license update pending agreement.
