Two commands to archive and build an iOS ipa file from the command line. Used to be able to build an ipa file without a provisioning profile (for later re-wrapping).

ios-archive-build.sh

# Create an .xcarchive and an .ipa file from the command line (in order to build the ipa without a provisioning profile).
# It was build with 2 successive commands, one to create the .xcarchive file, and the second to build the actual ipa file.
# Your "SchemeName" here is typically the name of your app.

# To create the .xcarchive file:
xcodebuild -scheme SchemeName clean archive -archivePath build/SchemeName


# To create the .ipa file:
xcodebuild -exportArchive -exportFormat ipa -archivePath "build/SchemeName.xcarchive" -exportPath "build/SchemeName.ipa"

# were used as a guide. The key to signing without a provisioning profile was to omit the -exportProvisioningProfile option from the second command.
