Solution

  • I was having same trouble few weeks back. Though I haven't yet figured out the exact issue behind it but I found that exporting an .ipa file via commandline works.

    1. Archive your project using your desired build settings.
    2. Locate the .xarchive file in finder (DON'T follow the usual procedure from this point).
    3. Copy it and paste it to your project directory (Where your .xcodeproj file is). (Though I usually rename it to remove all the spaces from the name as well)
    4. cd to your project directory in terminal
    5. Run following Command:
    xcodebuild -exportArchive  -archivePath  YourArchiveName.xcarchive -exportPath YourIpaName.ipa   -exportFormat ipa -exportProvisioningProfile YOUR_PROVISION_PROFILE_NAME

    Your .ipa file will be generated in your project directory. Use it as you will.

    For example if My archive name was mySillyApp and I wanted to create an ad hoc ipa from it named mySillyApp with provisioning profile named MySillyProfile, I'd run it like this

    xcodebuild -exportArchive  -archivePath  mySillyApp.xcarchive -exportPath mySillyApp.ipa   -exportFormat ipa -exportProvisioningProfile MySillyProfile

    NOTE: Even though this doesn't fix the issue of xcode but it gets the ipa. Just thought it would help someone looking for a quick way to get the ad hoc build, who doesn't have the time to figure out what's wrong with Xcode.
