In Xcode 10 there seems the export option is not available for Development / Adhoc / Enterprise mode.

enter image description here

But for when we go through "Distribute app" and choose "iOS App Store" then it show "Export" option there.

And if I choose to proceed with any other option other than "iOS App Store" then I end up in the following screen. enter image description here next enter image description here

  • But whats the use on exporting an app using Distribution certificate since we can't install the app using distribution certificate unless we upload via TestFlight.

So how to export a build with Adhoc / Development mode ?

After clicking on "Distribute App" you should see the following window:

You simply need to select the required distribution method; App Store, Ad-Hoc, Enterprise or Development.

After you select "Development" and click Next you should be prompted to select additional options:

You will then select your signing options and click Next

Finally you will get an option to export your app.

Since you have selected the option to create a manifest file for over the air distribution, you need to supply the requested URLs at step 2 before you can proceed. (Alternatively, deselect that option).
