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

Question

I am using Cocoapods 0.39.0 and Xcode 7.2, I have a project that archives successfully but does not populate in organizer. When I tested my podfile in a blank project the archive showed up in the Organizer just fine.

While trying to troubleshoot this I found that there was an Archives folder above Derived Data. There I actually found all the .xcarchive files of the project that won't show up in the Organizer.

When clicking on the file details, I also noticed that the working Archive had a size (228.3 MB for the test project) but my main project I want working has a size of 0 bytes.

Answer 1

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)

Answer 2

In XCode Project\Targets\Build Settings make sure

Skip Install = NO

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