# Exporting an unsigned `.ipa` file from Xcode
Follow steps 1️⃣,2️⃣ & 3️⃣ to successfully make an unsigned `.ipa` file!
### 1️⃣ Listing Schemes of a Project
#### `.xcodeproj` File
* Open Terminal and write `xcodebuild -list -project `, then replace the `` with your `.xcodeproj` file and execute the command.
#### `.xcworkspace` File
* Open Terminal and write `xcodebuild -list -workspace `, then replace the `` with your `.xcworkspace` file and execute the command.
### 2️⃣ Making a `.xcarchive` of your Project
#### `.xcodeproj` File
* In Terminal, write `xcodebuild archive -project -scheme -archivePath unsigned.xcarchive -configuration Release CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY="" CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=NO CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO` where `` and `` are replaced with the xcodeproj file and scheme name respectively.* Then, execute the command.
#### `.xcworkspace` File
* In Terminal, write `xcodebuild -workspace -scheme -configuration Release clean archive -archivePath unsigned.xcarchive CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY=”” CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=NO CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO` where `` and `` are replaced with the xcworkspace file and scheme name respectively.* Then, execute the command.
> *If the scheme contains spaces, make sure to use quotes!
### 3️⃣ Making the `.ipa` File
1. First, find the `unsigned.xcarchive` file you created in step 2 and click `Show Package Contents` to enter it.
2. Enter the `Products` folder and rename the `Applications` folder to `Payload`.
3. Click on `Compress "Payload"` to make a zip file of the folder.
4. Finally, rename the `Payload.zip` to `.ipa`, where `` is the app's name.
### 🎉 Congratulations, you have successfully created a unsigned `.ipa` file of your app!
