Where does Xcode store archived frameworks?

Question

I created an Xcode project with the "Cocoa Framework" template. When I archive it, it isn't visible in the Organizer.

Where are the archives stored?

Answer 1

Instead of setting custom locations or messing with Xcode's preferences, you could just include a Copy Files Build Phase that should add the archived Framework properly into Organizer.

Using an Absolute Path with the variable$(BUILD_DIR)seems to work fine. You should then find any archives in XCode's Organizer or in:

~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives

Answer 2

From Apple ( to view or change archive location ):

• Choose Xcode > Preferences, and click Locations.

• Choose Custom from the Archives pop-up menu.

• Click the folder icon in the text field, and choose a location.

When you go on Xcode Preference :

Archive location : /Users/YourName/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives
