In order to skip the code signing you can perform a manual build from the console like this:

xcodebuild clean build CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY="" CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=NO Use additionally the -configuration, -target and -sdk parameters in order to define your build settings.

To Disable Code Signing:

*Go to /Applications. Right click on XCode and select 'Show Package Contents'. Copy Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.1.sdk/SDKSettings.plist to your desktop. (Make sure to actually copy and paste. No drag and drop) Open it and under DefaultProperties set CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED to NO. Copy it back and replace the original file. Restart XCode. Open your project. In Project Navigator select your project and open Build Settings section of your porject (and not any particular target) Under Code Signing find Code Signing Identity and for both Debug and Release modes set Any iOS SKD to Don't Code Sign. Now you should be able to build your project without any errors.*

In 'Project Navigator' select Products Right click on [NameOfYourProject].app and select 'Show in Finder'. Create a folder and name it Payload Move [NameOfYourProject].app to Payload. Compress Payload and rename it to [NameOfYourProject].ipa
