Distribute content instead of Distribute app

I have a very annoying problem when I try to distribute my app to the App Store. Organizer does not recognise the project as an app I think. Xcode version is 16.2 but I have tries in 15.4.

Is the organiser showing this as Generic Xcode Archive. If so, see TN3110 Resolving generic Xcode archive issue

Yes it is shown as Generic Xcode Archive but my build settings are the same.

Any other idea?

Accepted Answer

I recommend that you check the Skip Install build setting on all of your targets.

If that doesn’t pan out, secondary click on the Xcode archive in the organiser, choose Show in Finder, and then dig into the .xcarchive to see what else is in there.

It’s better to reply as a reply, rather than in the comments; see Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips for this and other titbits.

Is there a possibility to be the bundle identifier?

I doubt it, but you didn’t share your bundle ID so I don’t have a lot to go on there.

I suggested two things in my previous post:

  • Check Skip Install on all build targets.

  • Look inside the .xcarchive.

You seem to have done the first but not the second.
