EXPORT FAILED error using xcodebuild command line tool

Question

I'm trying to export an ipa file through xcodebuild but I always receive this error.

IDEDistribution: Step failed: : Error Domain=IDEDistributionErrorDomain Code=14 "No applicable devices found." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=No applicable devices found.} error: exportArchive: No applicable devices found.

Error Domain=IDEDistributionErrorDomain Code=14 "No applicable devices found." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=No applicable devices found.}

** EXPORT FAILED **

Any hint?

This is the shell script I'm using (run in terminal through sh export_script.sh )

xcodebuild clean -project 'MyProject.xcodeproj' -configuration Debug -scheme MyProject -alltargets
xcodebuild -project 'MyProject.xcodeproj' -scheme MyProject archive -archivePath 'MyProject.xcarchive'
xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath 'MyProject.xcarchive' -exportPath 'Export' -exportOptionsPlist 'Options.plist'

PS Point me out any error in my scripts, if present.

Answer 1

我不确定，但您可能应该指定需要为设备构建的版本。

Answer 2

您需要添加-sdk适当的值（取决于使用的iPhoneOS版本号）

Answer 3

The old way to do it seems to do the job.

xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath $XCODE_ARCHIVE -exportPath $EXPORT_PATH -exportFormat ipa -exportProvisioningProfile "$PROVISIONING_PROFILE" -configuration $CONFIGURATION

where $PROVISIONING_PROFILE is for example iOS Development . The archive is created correctly. The shell will print out a deprecation log. You can safely ignore it.

The new way, introduced with Xcode does not work (at least for me). See xcodebuild's new exportOptionsPlist flag .

If you have any hint to use the new way, please post it.

Edit

There is an open radar for it Open Radar . In addition, also Fastlane provides a fallback mechanism for this problem (see Export Failed with Xcode 7 - No applicable devices found ).

In my case the issue was related to using RVM. Switching to the system Ruby solved the issue:

rvm use system 

Seams like some parts of xcodebuild are relying on the system version of Ruby and don't play nice with RVM.
