When working with Xcode, especially if you’re submitting apps to the App Store, finding your archives is crucial, particularly for tasks like reading crash logs. If you’ve ever wondered where your archives are stored, this guide will walk you through the process of locating them efficiently.
Finding Your Archives in Xcode
To access your archives, follow these steps:
- Open the Organizer window in Xcode by navigating to Window > Organizer from the menu bar.
- Click on the Archives icon located in the top middle of the Organizer window.
- Browse through the list of archives, selecting the desired one by app name and date.
- Right-click on the selected archive and choose Show in Finder to view its location on your file system.
Understanding Archive Storage Paths
By default, Xcode stores archives in the following directory:
/Users/username/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives/$DATE/Project Name Datetime.xcarchiveEach archive is organized by date, making it easier to locate specific versions. If you need to change the default location, you can do so via Xcode’s Preferences:
- Go to Xcode > Preferences… > Locations.
- Select the Archives tab and adjust the path as needed.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you’re unable to find your archives, ensure that you have selected a real iOS device or “Any iOS Device” in Xcode before archiving. This selection is necessary for the archive option to appear.
