updated iOS 6.1.2 now I can't archive app xcode

Question

When I want to distribute my app from XCode I select my device in the list at the top and that enables the option to Archive my application.

I upgraded to iOS 6.1.2 last night and now my device will not show up in the drop down list at the top so I can't archive the app.

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

You don't need to have a device plugged in to Archive. In Xcode click the dropdown next to the Run and Stop buttons and change the selection from iPhone 6.1 Simulator to iOS Device. You should then be able to Archive your build as usual.

In order to have your 6.1.2 device show up in the dropdown, you may need to update Xcode to the latest version.
