Hello:

I am using Xcode 11.3.1.

I have searched far and wide on the internet and on the forums to find a way to create an .ipa file from my mac OS project. The reason is that i want to use Apple transporter to upload my build to app store connect.

I have resorted to using the apple transpotrer because following the Xcode Product --> Archive --> Organizer --> Upload process ends up with a .app file on my desktop

All the suggestions I follow only create an .app file which the transporter rejects.

Can anyone point me to a reference that gives a clear explanation? Most of the ones I found and tried ends up with the same .app file.

Thanks.

A .ipa file is just a zip file, renamed.

That said, Xcode should already have a built in archive process to accomplish your goal (mac application to/for the store). No need to get creative or scratch around.

See Xcode Help for details.
