- Thread-topic: Xcode 5 & making an .ipa file for ad hoc distribution
Turns out that adding a sub-project was the problem. Something with it
isn't right (I did find a post suggesting that it needs to be set up in a
certain way, which I'd already done) would allow it to create an archive
with the .ipa package.
So for now, I've gone back to just adding the results of the sub-project
build and it now shows the window with 3 options, one of them being and
ad-hoc distribution.
I hope this helps someone else!
