Xcode 7.2 successful archives will not show in organizer, but will show in archives folder about derived data folder

Figured it out.

  1. Searched Installation Directory in Build Settings
  2. Removed @executable_path/../Frameworks as the value for Installation Directory
  3. Typed the following for the Installation Directory $(LOCAL_APPS_DIR)

Reference: "Xcode successfully archived my application, but the Archives Organizer does not list my archive" section https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/technotes/tn2215/_index.html


In XCode Project\Targets\Build Settings make sure

Skip Install = NO

for your Archive scheme, if you created one, or Release scheme


In my case (Xcode 8.3.3), the Installation Directory was pointing to /Applications which seemed correct, so that wasn't the issue. What worked was:
1. restart Xcode
2. Product ➞ Clean
3. delete the whole 'Derived Data' folder (to see where it is: Xcode ➞ Preferences... ➞ Locations ➞ Derived Data)
4. Product ➞ Clean
