How do I find my IOS app's archive file?

I have Mac OS Sierra. Unfortunately, I cannot upload my app due to a bug in Xcode 7.3.1 that makes it impossible to upload to iTunes Connect from Mac OS Sierra.

I have found a work around: Can I upload Xcode builds on macOS 10.12

However, it says I need to find my app's "archive" file. I believe that is the same thing as my app's .ipa file.

Where would my app's .ipa file be located?

They are stored here:

~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives 

In that folder you will find a bunch of folders by date.

Alternatively, open XCode, go to Window -> Organizer. Right-click the archive you are looking for and select "Show in Finder"

Using Window->Organizer, you can select your archive in the list and choose the export option. Then export as save for iOS App Store Deployment. Once the process is done it will allow you to save the exported file as a folder that contains your ready IPA file.
