Xcode 7.3 Apple Ad Hoc distribution ask for Distribution manifest information


I want to export my app with Ad Hoc distribution and save the resulting .ipa to file on my system as usual, but I can't because now using Organizer in Xcode 7.3 after choosing my archive export->Save for Ad Hoc Deployment the system show a "Distributed Manifest Information" form (see image below) where I have to choose an url and not the usual "Esport As" form.

Solution

  • Distributed Manifest Information is needed when you use on-demand resources in your app, otherwise you don't need to check “Include manifest for over-the-air installation”:

    If you use them, you should fill this form as described in the docs:

    • Name. The name of the app displayed during download and installation.
    • App URL. A fully qualified HTTPS URL for the iOS App file.
    • Display Image URL. A fully qualified HTTPS URL for an app icon that is displayed during download and installation. The image file must be 57 x 57 pixels and in PNG format.
    • Full Size Image URL. A fully qualified HTTPS URL for a larger image that is displayed in iTunes. The image file must be 512 x 512 pixels
      and in PNG format.
