I'm trying to automate the building of an ipa via jenkins for testflight/app store with automatic code signing enabled.
Note: Switching to manual code signing does not work. This post explains that issue perfectly.

No solution provided.
Googling around the recommended way appears to be, build an archive and then export.
I can do this via xcode and the ipa can be successfully uploaded to testflight. But that does not lend itself to
automating the process. I found xcodebuild can be use to automate the archive and export.
The following commands results in a ipa. But uploading fails because a subproject/Extensions is not properly signed. Which unfortunately is
consisted with the manual signing issue.
xcodebuild archive -project myapp.xcodeproj -scheme "myapp" -archivePath build/archive/name.xcarchive
xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath build/archive/Name.xcarchive -exportPath build/"Name" -exportFormat ipa -exportProvisioningProfile "Valid Dist profile"
Few other details that might be relevant
1. when I open the xcodebuild ipa and check how its sigend with "codesign -dv --verbose=4", it shows the correct "iphone Distribution" cert.
2. when I compare the output from "codesign -dv --verbose=4" on both xcode generated ipa and xcodebuild generate ipa the xcode version
shows significant more files. Which suggest xcodebuild archive or export does not properly recurse to subprojects.
So how does a subproject get included?
