How to create ipa in xcode 6 without Apple Developer account?

Finally found a way for creating .ipa build with xcodebuild command.

  1. Right click on Archive on Organizer.
  2. Click Show in Finder.
  3. You can see .xcarchive file in Finder.
    enter image description here

  4. Open Terminal and cd to .xcarchive path.

  5. Using following command to generate .ipa file.

This will save .ipa on Desktop.

xcodebuild -exportArchive -exportFormat ipa -archivePath <FILE_NAME>.xcarchive -exportPath ~/Desktop/<FILE_NAME>.ipa

Still looking for better solution, don’t know why Apple removed this feature from Xcode 6 🙁
