Difference between .archive and .xcarchive xcode?
I noticed these two different file types, and I'm curious what is the difference between them.
If anyone knows it, I would really appreciate the answer!

An archive file is not really a file,its bundle of files and its metadata.
xcarchive is a application archive file created by Xcode.It
contains your app,its resources and dsym files.
