Trying to export an archive with xcrun

xcrun -sdk iphoneos PackageApplication \
    -v $BUILD_PATH/$PRODUCT_NAME.xcarchive/Products/Applications/$PROJECT_NAME.app \
    -o $BUILD_PATH/$PRODUCT_NAME.ipa

Fails with the following error:

+ /usr/bin/zip --symlinks --verbose --recurse-paths ../xx/xx.ipa . Program /usr/bin/zip returned 15 : [zip I/O error: No such file or directory zip error: Could not create output file (../xx/xx.ipa) ] 

Answer 1

xcrun require absolute paths. (i.e. /User/you/...). You can do $PWD/build/release-iphoneos/etc.
