After upgrading to Xcode 6.3, newly built iOS app archives can't be submitted

Question

After upgrading to 6.3 and building an archive for my iOS app, the archive appears under "Other Items" and "Submit to App Store" is grayed out.

My archives built prior to upgrading are listed correctly under the name of the app.

I noticed that it works correctly for the Mac version of my app.

I tried changing the iOS version's target name and scheme name to all match the name under iOS Apps in the Organizer but that didn't help (if only things were that simple!).

Answer 1

The answer is my case was downgrading cocoapods. Using Xcode 7, and cocoapods 0.39.0.beta.4, downgraded to beta 3.

Answer 2

Resolution from Apple

For example, my app "Tripla" has one main project and one sub-project (Google-API-client: GTL.xcodeproj). In the main project, it has one main target and 4 sub-targets, and in the GTL.xcodeproj, it has 4 targets.

Skip-install in tab "Build Setting" in the main project setting is YES, but NO in the sub-project and all its sub-targets.

Skip-install in tab "Build Setting" in the main target of the main project is YES, but NO in the rest of sub-targets.

It did solve this issue of my app "Tripla".

Answer 3

Updating to Cocoapods 38.2 and running 'pod install' fixed the problem for me.

Answer 4

If the above answer doesn't work for you here is what solved it for me. It might be an issue due to CocoaPods updation

Answer 5

Finally I noticed that it was building a "Generic Archive". I consulted this question: Cannot generate iOS App archive in xcode

My setting for INSTALL_PATH ("Installation Directory") was set to $(HOME)/Applications. I set it to the default, /Applications, and that fixed the issue. I would mark this as a duplicate of the linked question, but someone might encounter the same issue after upgrading Xcode (something obviously changed).
