Having problem on creating .ipa file from Xcode's "Product -> Archive" or "Build & Archive" method ?

                 Creating an IPA is done in a simple way from your Xcode : Product -> Archive (previously Build & Archive). After the Archive operation completes, go to the Organizer, select your archive, select Share and in the "Select the content and options for sharing:" pane set Contents to "iOS App Store Package (.ipa) and Identity to iPhone Distribution (which should match your ad hoc/app store provisioning profile for the project).
It's a simple stuff to do but BANggggg... You might be in trouble if you have been using some other static library, third party library, other xcode project files in your project. You might have following issue that disables your .ipa file selection :
 “No Packager exists for the type of archive and This kind of archive cannot be signed."
