How do you export your finished application from Xcode?

Solution 1:

This has changed in Xcode 4.

Now Apps can be exported from the "Organizer"

If you haven't already, you need to create an Archive.

On the menu go to Product -> Archive

Once you're in the Organizer - Archives screen click Share or Distribute... (Xcode 4.3.3 or newer)

Then choose the format you want to export.

the app is generally under your

project_dir/build/Debug/Name Of App 
project_dir/build/Release/Name Of App
project_dir/build/Distribution/Name Of App

depending on which configuration of build you did or want to send.

On Xcode 13 you need to choose Product -> Destination -> Any iOS device (arm64).

Then afterwards you can run Product -> Archive.
