In Xcode, where is the compiled .app file? (macOS application)

On iOS I did not bother with that info, because you run the app on the device or simulator.

This is macOS application.

I want to launch my app without Xcode. Where is the app file location?

I'm using Xcode 10.

In case you are looking for the folder of compiled programs: By default it is present in :

  • Macintosh HD >
  • Users > (user name) >
  • Library >
  • Developer >
  • Xcode >
  • DerivedData

DerivedData is the folder where all the compiled programs are kept. You need to access the:
(desired) folder > Build > Products > Debug
to access the executable app.

For easy access I'll suggest to make Alias of the DerivedData folder onto desktop.

It is in the Products group in Xcode.

If you want to know the actual location in the file system:

Right click > Show in Finder:

After the build, you can find it under Products, you can find it in the Project navigator writing .app (it is located on disk in the derived data folder).
