I would like to archive my application, but the Archive option is greyed out. What could cause this? <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/uvldQ.png" alt="enter image description here">

You have to select the device in the schemes menu in the top left where you used to select between simulator/device. It won’t let you archive a build for the simulator. Or you may find that if the iOS device is already selected the archive box isn’t selected when you choose “Edit Schemes” => “Build”.

see the picture. but I have to type enough chars to post the picture.:) <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/f1Ycw.png" alt="enter image description here">
