Xcode Archive

Hello developers. I am currently making the second verison of my app and have archived it. I now have 2 differnt archive that both say version 1.0. I was hoping there was a way where I could change the verison number. Thanks!

You change the version number by selecting the project in the navigator pane (on the left), and choosing the Info tab. There is one field for the version that users see (aka "short version string"), and one field for the build number (aka "bundle version string") that represents a particular build within the overall version.


However, you might be talking about the name Xcode uses for the archive when it adds it to the organizer. I'm not sure exactly where that comes from, maybe the Product Name build setting. If you've entered version numbers in the build settings, you'll have to change that too — preferably to eliminate them.


Lastly, the archive name that Xcode shows in the organizer isn't important for anything (AFAIK). You can rename the app bundle after you export it (if you're distributing outside the App Stores) or it's published in the App Stores under the name you've set up in iTunes Connect.
