Im using xcodebuild to archive and export the archive for a flutter application for ipa generation in azure devops.

Used the following code for archive

Code Block xcodebuild 
-workspace Runner.xcworkspace 
-scheme Runner 
-sdk iphoneos 
-configuration Release 
archive 
-archivePath $PWD/build/Runner.xcarchive 
CODE_SIGN_STYLE=Manual

Created a plist for export options

Code Block xml<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>uploadBitcode</key>
	<false/>
	<key>compileBitcode</key>
	<false/>
	<key>uploadSymbols</key>
	<false/>
	<key>provisioningProfiles</key>
	<dict>
		<key>com.companyn.appname</key>
		<string>ComapnyAdHocProfile</string>
	</dict>
	<key>signingCertificate</key>
	<string>iOS Distribution</string>
	<key>signingStyle</key>
	<string>manual</string>
	<key>method</key>
	<string>ad-hoc</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Used the following code for export archive to ipa

Code Block xcodebuild 
-exportArchive 
-archivePath $PWD/build/Runner.xcarchive 
-exportOptionsPlist export.plist 
-exportPath $PWD/build/Runner.ipa

I get the error of

Code Block Error Domain=IDEProvisioningErrorDomain Code=9 ""Runner.app" requires a provisioning profile." UserInfo={IDEDistributionIssueSeverity=3, NSLocalizedDescription="Runner.app" requires a provisioning profile., NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=Add a profile to the "provisioningProfiles" dictionary in your Export Options property list.}

The same app builds correctly with the above provisioning profile while building in Xcode.

Can anyone suggest where I went wrong?

I'm having the same issue. I have 2 projects on compiles OK and the other throws this error. Both use the same wildcard Provisioning profile which I have used before.

Build command is: -

ns build ios --release --for-device --provision ***** <I've hidden Profile name>

Error is_ -

Error Domain=IDEProvisioningErrorDomain Code=9 ""WFSL.app" requires a provisioning profile." UserInfo={IDEDistributionIssueSeverity=3, NSLocalizedDescription="WFSL.app" requires a provisioning profile., NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=Add a profile to the "provisioningProfiles" dictionary in your Export Options property list.}

EXPORT FAILED **

Command xcodebuild failed with exit code 70
