Validation Error: The bundle contains disallowed file 'Frameworks'

OK for future viewers here's the fix:

When you create your own iOS framework (I'm using Xcode 6.1) when you build it the final product contains a 'Frameworks' folder in the framework bundle itself. i.e. MyFramework.framework/Frameworks. This happens even if you don't specify a copy files/embed frameworks build phase.

What you have to do is to go into you framework bundle, find the empty frameworks folder and delete it. This should not affect your app's functionality in any way. Then build your app and check that the embedded framework doesn't have a Frameworks folder as planned.

Your archive should now not contain the offending folder and the error should be gone!

I changed build settings > Packaging > Define modules set to YES in my extension and watch app target. Works fine for me.

In my case the solution was the following :

Try to create the script there 'problematic target' -> Build Phases' then click on + and select New Run Script Phase, the run script should go after all others. Insert there :

cd "${CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR}/${UNLOCALIZED_RESOURCES_FOLDER_PATH}/"if [[ -d "Frameworks" ]]; then    rm -fr Frameworksfi

Then clean the project and try to create an archive once again. These answer was provided in the following issue :

I hope this help you.
