I'm trying to upload a new version of an app that is already in the AppStore. Previous version was uploaded using Xcode 9.4. But now Xcode 10 will be required in order to get approval.
Sadly, Xcode is not being able to archive the project, so I'm getting stuck on the first step, not even being able to generate the binary for submission.
There is no error: According to Xcode, our archiving process has more than 2000 tasks, and is just gets stuck in arbitrary task (always the same). Xcode does not crash, does not show an error and does not complain. It just can't pass that task and the IDE stays there for ever.
We tried it in different machines and also tried two versions: the previous version of the app (that can be archived with Xcode 9.4) and a new version, successfully migrated to Swift 4.2.

Why is the Archive menu item grayed out in Xcode ? <Project name> does not contain a single–bundle application or contains multiple products. Please select another archive, or adjust your scheme to create a single–bundle application.
Start your archiveNavigate to your project's settings. Under iOS (or the target you want to build your app for) > Identity, you'll want to increment the Build number. For example, if the Build number was 1, you'll want to set it to 2. Then, in the top menu, under Product, click on Archive.
The Step archives your Xcode project by running the xcodebuild archive command and then exports the archive into an . ipa file with the xcodebuild -exportArchive command. This . ipa file can be shared, installed on test devices, or uploaded to the App Store Connect.
Archive your App In Xcode with your project open, select the simulator (button near the top of the window next to your project name, typically named as a specific type of iPhone) – change it to Generic iOS Device. Open the Product menu and choose Archive. You will see the archive information. Click Validate App.
Finally, I removed "armv7" from "Valid Architectures" of project build settings. It archived! This means iPhone 4S is not compatible anymore. But, I don't think Apple will deprecate 4S in this way. By diving into the logs, I found that it stucks in creating dSYM symbols.

Thus, I guess, another workaround is change "Debug Infomation Format" from "DWARF with dSYM File" to "DWARF".

We were able to get it to Archive with DSYM by removing optimizations for Swift Compile in the build settings.
Build Settings -> Swift Compiler - Code Generation -> Release
set to "No Optimizations"
