How to get a distribution app when using xcodebuild -exportArchive (Xcode8.3, Auto Signing)?

Question

After update Xcode8.3, the options '-exportSigningIdentity', '-exportProvisioningProfile' and '-exportFormat' are removed from 'xcodebuild -exportArchive'.

When i try to get a distribution app, i get the error below:
xcodebuild: error: invalid option '-exportProvisioningProfile'.

So how can i get distribution MyApp.ipa from MyApp.xcarchive, when the project has set Automatic Signing Enabled?

Sounds like you want to create an IPA on the command line from an existing xcarchive. Since Xcode 7, the preferred way to do this is (from man xcodebuild):

xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath xcarchivepath -exportPath destinationpath -exportOptionsPlist path

So in your case:

xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath MyApp.xcarchive -exportPath MyApp.ipa -exportOptionsPlist exportOptions.plist

exportOptions.plist is a PLIST file that contains various parameters configuring the IPA export. See xcodebuild -help for all available options. You'll have to at least specifiy an entry for method (app-store, ad-hoc, enterprise etc. - defaults to development). If you just want to export for App-Store distribution, the file should look like this:

<?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>method</key>
    <string>app-store</string>
</dict>
</plist>
