xcodebuild exportArcive- How to customize the default IPA file name while exporting from command line?

Question

I am using xcodebuild command line tool to create an archive and then export as IPA file, for my iOS project.

By default, while using xcodebuild -exportArchive, it creates the IPA file which has the same label as the scheme selected for building.

Is there anyway to change the output IPA file name while using xcodebuild -exportArchive from command line?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What I was able to find out is that ArchiveAction tag in .xcscheme file can have attribute customArchiveName which can be set to anything you like. However, I prefer to avoid this and omit this attr, so that resulting exported IPA is called exactly as the Scheme by which it is built. Then I just mv its default name to whatever I need by my CI build script. – Bradbradan

@Bradbradan can you share script and procedure to build ipa with custom name – Filemon

Answer 1

Change the PRODUCT_NAME in your target's Build Settings.

The parameter that sets your IPA name is actually PRODUCT_MODULE_NAME, which is by default empty and thus defaults to your PRODUCT_NAME.

Another way if that's not working is to set the customArchiveName (see this answer) https://stackoverflow.com/a/43809933
