Xcode successfully archived application, but Archives Organizer does not list any

The problem is - a project is built and archived without any error but the Archives section in Organizer is empty (at the same time ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives contains all generated archives).

I'm aware with this topic but it's 4 years old and I've tried all offered there solutions (some of them are no longer relevant). I think it might be an Xcode7 related issue and wanted to enumerate all my targets and settings therefore someone who already has handled this bug/issue could find differences and help me out.

Here are the options from a Build Settings/Deployment section:

Project:

- Skip Install: Yes
- Installation Directory: $(LOCAL_APPS_DIR)

Targets (5 items):

iOS App:

- Skip Install: No
- Installation Directory: $(LOCAL_APPS_DIR)

iOS Framework:

- Skip Install: Yes
- Installation Directory: $(LOCAL_LIBRARY_DIR)/Frameworks

Watch App:

- Skip Install: No
- Installation Directory: $(LOCAL_APPS_DIR)

Watch Extension:

- Skip Install: Yes
- Installation Directory: $(LOCAL_APPS_DIR)

Watch Framework:

- Skip Install: Yes
- Installation Directory: $(LOCAL_LIBRARY_DIR)/Frameworks

I made all recommendation from this official guide ie:

  1. Enabled Reveal Archive in Organizer option in the scheme Editor's Archive pane.
  2. Tried various combinations of the Skip Install build setting (apps targets always are set to No).
  3. Version and Build values are the same and equal "2.0.0" in my case.
  4. An archive is created with a selected real device.
  5. A project utilizes CocoaPods as a dependency manager but I'm not sure whether it might be an issue.

Any help will be appreciated.

The problem has been solved by performing 3 consecutive steps:

  1. All files from Watch Framework have been moved directly to Watch Extension. After this archives started showing up in Organizer but in the Other Items section. To fix it the following 2 steps were performed.
  2. For each CocoaPod in Build Phases/Headers all headers were moved from the Public to Project section.
  3. For Watch App in the Build Settings/Deployment section the Skip Install parameter was switched to Yes.
