Currently using the xcode 6 build process, we first create the xcarchive with the following command
xcodebuild -workspace OurApp.xcworkspace -scheme MainScheme \
clean archive -archivePath OurApp.xcarchive -sdk "iphoneos" \
-configuration "Release" CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED="NO" \
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY="" PROVISIONING_PROFILE=""
By not doing any code signing and provisioning, we then use the exportArchive command to generate the respective enterprise and adhoc ipas using the same archive like this.
xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath OurApp.xcarchive \
-exportPath OurApp-adhoc.ipa -exportFormat "ipa" \
-exportProvisioningProfile "Our Adhoc Provisioning Profile"
and
xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath OurApp.xcarchive \
-exportPath OurApp-enterprise.ipa -exportFormat "ipa" \
-exportProvisioningProfile "Our Enterprise Provisioning Profile"
Note that we would have our servers set the appropriate code sign identity before running these exportArchive commands. This worked really well for us since we could use the same xcarchive(takes 8 minutes to compile) and create multiple variants with it(exportArchive step doesn't take more than 30 seconds).
In Xcode7, Apple Introduced exportOptionsPlist. Xcode 7 also saw the introduction of features such as Swift Support and Universal Links, both of which we deploy. These two features require you to use exportOptionsPList it seems. The only way I was able to get exportOptionsPlist is that I could no longer set CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY and PROVISIONING_PROFILE to "" when generating IPA. As a result, our build times will double since we now have to build the xcarchive twice
I was wondering if anyone knows a way to create an enterprise IPA and an adhoc ipa using the same xcarchive.
Hi its not possible because whenever you create an iPA from Archive it create each iPA separately for Adhoc or Enterprise or else.

I want to fully automize the build option to generate archive and iPA through command line tools i.e xcodebuild.
Problem facing :- I am generating the archive using
xcodebuild -schme XYZ -archivePath .../XYZ.xcarchive archive.
Question :- The archive generated/signed via developer account whereas release is selected from Edit scheme.
First you need to the archive file with below command.
xcodebuild archive -project <PROJECT_NAME>.xcodeproj -scheme <NAME_OF_SCHEME> -archivePath <PROJECT_NAME>.xcarchive
And then you need to export the archive into an ipa.
xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath <PROJECT_NAME>.xcarchive -exportPath <PROJECT_NAME> -exportFormat ipa -exportProvisioningProfile "Name of Provisioning Profile"
However I am not sure this is what you are looking for.
In Xcode 7 I was building project through command line for multiple provision profiles by using following commands. I have multiple provision profiles and multiple code signing certificate linked to those profiles so I need to sign the IPA file with appropriate provision profile.
PROVISION_PROFILE="My Provision profile name"
xcodebuild -workspace ../ProjectName.xcworkspace -scheme "${PRODUCT_NAME}" -sdk iphoneos -configuration "${CONFIGURATION}" archive -archivePath "${TARGET_BUILD_DIR}/${PRODUCT_NAME}.xcarchive"
xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath "${TARGET_BUILD_DIR}/${PRODUCT_NAME}.xcarchive" -exportPath "${BINDIR}/${PACKAGE_NAME}-${CURVERSION}.ipa" -exportProvisioningProfile "${PROVISION_PROFILE}"
Now these commands not working for Xcode 8. I uncheck the automatically manage signing after that it gives below error
"someProjectName" requires a provisioning profile. Select a provisioning profile for the "Debug" build configuration in the project editor.
Code signing is required for product type 'Application' in SDK 'iOS 10.1'
Anybody please help me in this.
You are only specifying the provisioning profile in your -exportArchive command. In the -workspace command, Xcodebuild is reaching into the -scheme you specify, which looks at the project.pbxproj file and grabs the provisioning profiles you placed from the project editor for the configurations specified by the scheme being built.
If you open your project.pbxproj file in a text editor, you'll see that the Debug configuration has no provisioning profile listed, which is why Xcodebuild is throwing this error. To fix this, add your provisioning profiles in the project editor (or in project.pbxproj) for the configurations being built by your scheme.
Edit: Now that I better understand the requirements, editing my answer with another option. You can also do this to manually specify the provisioning profile in your build step:
xcodebuild -workspace ../ProjectName.xcworkspace -scheme "${PRODUCT_NAME}" -sdk iphoneos -configuration "${CONFIGURATION}" archive -archivePath "${TARGET_BUILD_DIR}/${PRODUCT_NAME}.xcarchive" PROVISIONING_PROFILE="${PROVISION_PROFILE}"
I'm migrating our build scripts to produce xcarchive files, so we can upload builds right from the Xcode Organizer, however, I'm having trouble getting builds to work over the air now.
I'm building the archive with:
xcodebuild -scheme myScheme \
"CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY[sdk=iphoneos*]=$appstore_identity" \
PROVISIONING_PROFILE=$appstore_profile_id \
-archivePath $outputArchive
archive`
Then I'm trying to export and re-sign using my enterprise distribution profile with:
enterprise_profile_name=`basename $enterprise_profile_file .mobileprovision` \
xcodebuild -exportArchive \
-archivePath "$outputArchive" \
-exportFormat IPA \
-exportProvisioningProfile "$enterprise_profile_name" \
-exportPath "$outputIPA"
The resulting IPA looks correct (contains correct profile, codesign says it's valid, etc), however, when we generate a manifest file so this can be installed over the air things stop working. On iOS 7 devices get into the 'Installing..., Waiting...' loop and the app never get's installed.
Any suggestions?
Update 1
I've also tried exporting an app from the archive and then resigning that with PackageApplication:
xcodebuild -exportArchive \
-archivePath "$outputArchive" \
-exportFormat APP \
-exportWithOriginalSigningIdentity \
-exportPath "$outputApp"
xcrun PackageApplication \
"$outputApp" \
-o "$outputIPA" \
--sign "$enterprise_identity" \
--embed "$enterprise_profile_file"
But the resulting IPA still fails to install OTA and syncing via iTunes.
#MishieMoo and I chatted offline and it seems that what I'm trying to do isn't possible because I am trying to work across teams. I have 2 teams A and B, each with their own identity and provisioning profile. A has a enterprise profile for com.foo.*. B has a regular profile for com.foo.bar.
I was building with B and trying to resign with A. However that isn't working because they are 2 different accounts with 2 different team identifiers.
Result: I need to build twice (once for each account).
Under Xcode 4 I was able to export an unsigned IPA in order to send that to clients with Enterprise accounts for resigning. With the upgrade to Xcode 5 this option has been removed. I found a similar question that found a work around for Cocoa apps, but this won't work for iOS apps as it yields a .app file.
Does anyone know how an unsigned IPA can be generated from Xcode 5, or know of another way to give something to my client for resigning that doesn't involve trading certificates or the project itself?
We had the exact same problem. We used this process for a year to deliver an unsigned IPA to our client, who would then sign it when their Enterprise Profile to release it to all their employee's. The work around turned out to be pretty straight forward. We just signed the IPA with one of our Distribution Profiles, and the customer, in turn, was able to take that signed IPA and resign it with their Enterprise Distribution Profile. It turns out, having the "Don't Resign" option in the drop down was not needed.
You can run this in your *.xcodeproj directory:
xcodebuild -project YOUR_PROJECT.xcodeproj -exportArchive -exportFormat ipa -archivePath $(pwd)/YOUR_PROJECT.xcarchive -exportPath $(pwd)/YOUR_PROJECT.ipa CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY="" CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=NO -alltargets -configuration Release
You can create .xcarchive by running:
xcodebuild -scheme YOUR_PROJECT_SCHEME archive CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY="" CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=NO -archivePath $(pwd)/YOUR_PROJECT.xcarchive
You can create scheme by using xcodeproj and this ruby(.rb) script:
require 'xcodeproj'
xcproj = Xcodeproj::Project.open("YOUR_PROJECT.xcodeproj")
xcproj.recreate_user_schemes
xcproj.save
You can install xcodeproj by running:
sudo gem install xcodeproj :)
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
Organizer - Archives
Share
iOS App Store Package
Don't Re-sign
Thanks!
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.
This tool makes it trivial to build (and distribute): https://github.com/nomad/shenzhen
After Archive, you need to "Export" to desired format ie ipa:
xcodebuild -sdk iphoneos7.0 -archivePath "path to archive file" -exportPath "path_for_export" -exportFormat ipa -exportArchive -exportProvisioningProfile "provisioning_profile_to_export_with"
