Not able to create IPA using xcodebuild command through jenkins shell script

Question

I am trying to create an IPA file using below command on Jenkin

xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath export/MySampleApp.xcarchive -exportPath export/ -exportOptionsPlist export/export_options.plist

But it gives me error

    + xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath export/MySampleApp.xcarchive -exportPath export/ -exportOptionsPlist export/export_options.plist

I was able to create an archive file using below command

xcodebuild -scheme "MySampleApp" -sdk iphoneos -target MySampleApp -destination "generic/platform=iOS" -archivePath export/MySampleApp.xcarchive archive DEVELOPMENT_TEAM="QPG8EMUULT" PROVISIONING_PROFILE="efb8da47-3b87-4880-82e8-4967167bb2d3" CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=NO

Can anyone please let me know what could be the issue ?

Answer 1

Keychain was locked on Jenkin server thats why it was not able to code sign.

Unlocked it with below command before xcodebuild command

security unlock-keychain -p yourPassword

Now its working good.

Answer 2

I met the problem when :

• xcodebuild archive using Xcode 10
• xcode-select to Xcode 9
• try to run xcodebuild -exportArchive

so I xcode-select to Xcode 10 and problem solved
