fastlane cannot export ipa

Question

My project is using Automatically managing signing

When I want to use fastlane to export ipa, I got following error

I could find archive file in Xcode's Organizer window

but could not export to ipa file

Is there something I didn't notice?

lane:

lane :CIUAT do
    gym(scheme: "MyApp",
        clean: true,
        export_method: "development",
        output_name: "MyApp.ipa",
        xcargs: "-allowProvisioningUpdates",
        include_symbols: true,
        include_bitcode: false
    )
end

You export method is set to development it should be set for AppStore if you want to upload on AppStore and if you want distribute app for testing only then it should be set to AdHoc change export method to: export_method: "app-store" and provide provisional profiles Check more details here https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions/build_ios_app/
