Xcode 10.1 doesn't show 'distribute app' option when archiving, can't archive


Please make changes as follows

  • Change Skip install to NO

Make sure only the Application has this set to NO. Embedded Targets like Frameworks need to have Skip Install = YES


Faced the same issue few days ago. This usually occurs when you have multiple schemes in a project.

  • Go to edit scheme (Next to stop button)
  • Select the target of which you want to archive.
  • In build option, remove other targets or you may unselect archive checkbox.
  • Re-archive


I ran into this annoying error today - I thought it was the new version of Xcode - but no. I had multiple targets for my project (staging/production), and also a nested framework project.

To solve this I opened the staging scheme and made sure only the checkboxes are checked for that target: (the top row was selected before)
