Where are the app's build folders located? I cannot see anything in the app directory.

Build folder is located in Derived Data folder. You can open this folder through Organizer on Project tab.

In Xcode, on the left hand side where it lists your files, right click on your app (e.g. 'MyApplication.app' and click on 'Show in Finder'.

Hope this helps.

After you create the build in XCode, press Command+7 to view the Log. The log will display the exact path where the final .app file will be located.

Something like the string below;

Touch /Users/macmini15/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/test-ciynarecplxqjqdpmuonamtecgvn/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/test.app
    cd /Users/macmini15/Desktop/test
    setenv PATH "/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin:/Developer/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"
    /usr/bin/touch -c /Users/macmini15/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/test-ciynarecplxqjqdpmuonamtecgvn/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/test.app

  • Why can I not navigate here through finder? It seems to be invisible! I had to go through organizer – TheLearner Mar 15 '12 at 09:35
  • @TheLearner - If you are on Lion the ~/Library folder is now by default hidden. See Oliver Cooper's answer for the quick way to get there. – CRD Mar 15 '12 at 09:44
  • Thanks mate - please see my other question related to this, I tried deleting all the derived data but no luck: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9700599/unit-tests-failing-to-run-after-app-rename-due-to-apple-linker-error – TheLearner Mar 15 '12 at 09:47
