xcodebuild: error: invalid option '-exportFormat'

If you are running  xcodebuild command for generating ipa file,

-exportformat ipa 

is no longer supported.

We need to provide our manual export options plist file(exportOptionsPlist) path to build command If we are doing a manual signing.

  

  # export options plist path

    EXPORTOPTIONSPLISTPATH="${APPNAME}/export_options.plist"

   # generate IPA

      xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath ${WORKSPACE}/${APPNAME}.xcarchive -   

      exportPath ${WORKSPACE}/${APPNAME} CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY="${IDENTITY}" -

      exportOptionsPlist ${EXPORTOPTIONSPLISTPATH} || bail

For this add a export_options.plist (name could be of your own choice) to your project directly.

Run the build command with this, Should be generating an ipa.
