Hello, we want to build our projects with the command line, like :

xcodebuild -target "OurTarget" -configuration "OurConfig" -archivePath "project.xcarchive" -scheme "OurScheme" archive

to be able to then, make a build with :

xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath "project.xcarchive" -exportPath "build" -exportOptionsPlist "build/exportOptions.plist"

The problem is that we are using a script to export our project which remove all user data like scemes.

So, what would be the best solution to use these commands without scheme ?

Best regards

From what `man xcodebuild` says, archiving is unfortunately not possible without a scheme:

"archive Archive a scheme from the build root (SYMROOT).

This requires specifying a scheme."

So maybe you can show this to your architect and insist on keeping the schemes.

In my case, I am concered by this, since my project is generated via cmake and recent removal of PackageApplication script from Xcode made things more complicated for creation of .ipa package.
