Here are my findings so far:

  1. if we don't specify the -configuration argument, as the plugin doesn't try to infer xcodebuild defaults configuration for the command line, the plugin creates an invalid buildDirectory
  2. we could try to extract this information from the project/workspace, but I haven't managed to get xcodebuild to behave as it says it should when building a project without specifying the configuration (I mailed the xcode-users list about it for clarification, the conversation will appear on http://lists.apple.com/archives/xcode-users/2014/Dec/index.html)
  3. if you don't specify the BUILD_CONFIGURATION_DIR, xcode will build under some temporary directory that isn't under jenkins workspace (DerivedData etc). So even if jenkins created (mkdir) the missing default directory given "default configuration (infered) + buildPlatform" it isn't searching for the build apps under the right directory
    List<FilePath> apps = buildDirectory.list(new AppFileFilter());
  4. the ipa directory will be under the build configuration dir

I have to think about it more, but I think the simplest is to force the user to specify the BUILD_CONFIGURATION_DIR when selecting the generate IPA option or provide a good default. I am not sure why the other case (let xcode use his own DerivedData dirs) would be useful.
