The way xcode-maven-plugin building a project (generation of .app and archive to ipa) is no more supported by apple. Generated ipa is not eligible for appStore upload. Changes around the xcode are very dynamic it's not realistic to adopt these changes to xcode-maven-plugin.

Please refer for Apple's latest App Distribution Workflow

The Xcode Maven Plugin can be used to integrate Xcode projects into a Maven build system. Especially it offers the following features:

• Integration with a Maven repository for binary artifact distribution
• Dependency resolution via a Maven repository between Xcode projects

• The xcode-maven-plugin is currently only compatible with maven 3.0. For more details check https://github.com/sap-production/xcode-maven-plugin/issues/131
