Answer 1

A bit late to provide an answer but I ran to the same problem today.

Building and installing my app on my device works like a charm, but archiving was a different story. Every time, I was stuck to step 1225 of 1235.

Clean all cash, removing all derived data, even restarting my Mac didn't change a thing.

I finally found the solution that worked for me.

Using CocoaPod, I could solve this issue by moving the Upload DSYM build script phase to the en of the list

"${PODS_ROOT}/FirebaseCrashlytics/upload-symbols" -gsp "${PROJECT_DIR}/YourProjectName/Beta/GoogleService-Info.plist" -p ios "${DWARF_DSYM_FOLDER_PATH}/${DWARF_DSYM_FILE_NAME}"
# /!\ this script should always be the last one of the list /!\

can you show me please where you put that line of code? – Spruce

On your Xcode project target > build phases – Adal

I was struck in a look into trying to archive my builds. This worked for me as well! – Rankle

This is such an obscure answer. Not every app has this run script but mine did. I'm glad I came across this without tearing my hair out. Thanks so much! – Wachter

Answer 2

Changing optimization level to "no optimization" for all pods solved it for me.

Select your Pods project and highlight all Targets, go to build settings and search for "optimization level" and set it to "No optimization"

Answer 3

Change below build settings of swift compiler - code generation and try

Compilation Mode - Incremental (Instead Whole Module) Optimization Level - No Optimization

I just had this same issue with Xcode 15.2 trying to archive a visionOS app. Changing Compilation Mode to Incremental made the issue go away. – Fivepenny

Answer 4

I also had the same issue in my multi-modular SPM project which has a dependency on Realm. Building was fine, but when archiving everything was stuck. The solution was to change Package.swift target dependency from

.product(name: "Realm", package: "realm-swift")

to

.product(name: "RealmSwift", package: "realm-swift")

Hope this will help somebody having a similar issue.

Answer 5

I had the same symptom - the archiving process got stuck as it was almost finished. My problem was that the Metro port 8081 was taken by another application. As soon as I closed the other application the archiving worked.

Answer 6

Using Xcode 15.2

Follow the steps:

1. Go to your project Build Settings tab and find for optimization:

Change it to None

2. Then at the same Build Settings tab and find for compilation mode:

Change it to Incremental

3. Now try to Archive your project again.

Answer 7

Xcode version 15.4

On Archive I had face the same issue, Every time, I was stuck on 1063 of 1086. The solution for me

Go to your project Build Phase move the Run Script at the last.
