error: exportArchive: The operation couldn’t be completed. (IDEDistributionErrorDomain error 3.)

Question

I am using Jenkins automation build for iOS.

Previously I have been using xcode 8.1 with no error showing. But i have updated the xcode to 8.3 and I'm facing errors now. I have the scripts as below:

OLD SCRIPT

xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath Sample.xcarchive -exportPath Sample -exportFormat ipa -exportProvisioningProfile 'Sampledemo'

xcodebuild: error: invalid option '-exportFormat'

NEW SCRIPT

xcodebuild -exportArchive -exportOptionsPlist exportOptions.plist -archivePath Sample.xcarchive -exportPath Sample  PROVISIONING_PROFILE_SPECIFIER="Sampledemo"

error: exportArchive: The operation couldn’t be completed. (IDEDistributionErrorDomain error 3.)

Error Domain=IDEDistributionErrorDomain Code=3 "(null)" UserInfo={IDEDistributionErrorSigningIdentityToItemToUnderlyingErrorKey={

but I'm facing this issue now. How can I solve the issue ?

Hi!

I think I've got it figured out...

instead of:

-exportProvisioningProfile "MyProvisioningProfile"

use:

PROVISIONING_PROFILE_SPECIFIER="MyProvisioningProfile"

We've got unity building the project every time and it doesn't fill in the PROVISIONING_PROFILE or PROVISIONING_PROFILE_SPECIFIER. And it looks like it will figure out the alphabet soup that belongs to PROVISIONING_PROFILE by looking it up itself provided you have downloaded it already.
