Export-xcarchive-to-ipa

XCode 6 now requires Apple ID to make IPA file. To make an IPA file with a profile without Apple ID we can use terminal:

xcodebuild  -exportWithOriginalSigningIdentity

to export xcarchive to IPA using profile used to create the xcarchive. These workflows are Automator wrapper for that terminal command line to easy use in Finder. They're wrote in AppleScript and shell script.

• Export to IPA.workflow: Finder service
• ExportIPA.workflow: Finder folder action

Tested on Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks & XCode 6.1
