I am trying to finalize my iOS application, the problem I encounter is that I can not generate file .IPA file export from the archive that is created. When I deploy the application directly to a device, the application works, as well as in an emulator.

I do not have a distributor account on Apple, I use my iTunes account as a developer account.

Is there a way to generate the .IPA file so that I can share my application so that others can test it?

I thank you in advance :)

  • what's the error message you are getting while exporting .ipa from archive?Check Console while exporting .ipa then you'll be able to solve root cause. – Ellen Jul 30 '17 at 07:27

For internal testing purpose, you can drag .app file from Products folder of XCode after running app on device as target & drop into iTunes Connect. Get .ipa file by Right Click on app icon in Apps section of iTunes .Select Show In Finder.
