How to fix "IPA processing failed" in Xcode 12.2 with MAC M1

Question

When I tried to create Ad Hoc IPA file. It gave "IPA processing failed" error.

Xcode version is 12.2. Mac mini (M1, 2020)

I have checked logs file: IDEDistribution.standard.log file.

Assertion failed: Expected 2 archs in otool output:
/var/folders/kd/kb03k1ks33sb33gnl9fz95yr0000gn/T/IDEDistributionOptionThinning.~~~qlv6NP/Payload/xxx.app/xxx:

How to fix it?

Answer 1

1 open Finder--> Application

2 select Xcode----> show Info

3 use Rosetta

This worked for me

Xcode -->Build Settings -->iOS Deployment Target-->iOS 13.0 or later

This method is also possible, but I must be compatible with the lower ios version, so i use Rosetta

Answer 2

1. Go to the Application Folder
2. Select an Xcode and press Command+I (This will open the info for Xcode)
3. Under the General select (Open using Rosetta)
4. Make sure you close your projects and quit Xcode then open Xcode and now you can generate the .ipa file

Answer 3

Xcode -->Build Settings -->iOS Deployment Target-->iOS 13.0 or later

or

1. Press Window > Organizer
2. Right-click on your app > Show in Finder
3. Right-click on first .xcarchive file > Show package contents
4. Right-click on /Products/Applications > Show package contents
5. Remove all lib*.dylib
6. Re-distribute app

This worked for me.

However,I don't know why this solves the problem.

Answer 4

Just use Rosetta to open your Xcode. There is no relationship with the deployment target

Answer 5

"Xcode -->Build Settings -->iOS Deployment Target-->iOS 13.0 or later". This method can solve the problem, but the minimum support system of my application is lower than 13。

-->Before the error “IPA processing failed” is prompted, during the loading process of Display “Analyzing signnature”, click the “Next” button quickly and continuously to skip the error. I don't know the reason. I hope Apple can fix the problem.

Answer 6

设置您的最低部署目标 iOS 13.0 或更高版本。
