Alright, this is a totally Xcode 4 newb question which has probably popped up already but I haven't found it and now it's really starting to bother me.
In Xcode 3 if I was building a release version of an app and handing it off to somebody to test, I'd just build the Release config and it'd be in the build folder (which was shared for every project so they're all in the same place).
In Xcode 4, it seems I'm supposed to create an archive (which seems to *always* build from scratch), and then in the Organizer click on the Share button, go through a couple-panel-sheet to unpackage it and save it somewhere (like the Desktop), and then I have to traverse through the 4-level-deep folder hierarchy to find the app so I can pull it out, zip it, and send it on its way. Followed by deleting that hierarchy and deleting the archive from the Organizer because I don't ever want to use it again.
It seems to either be that or I have to create another scheme, build for that scheme, and then find the app by doing Show In Finder on the product in the project navigator.
Is there really no simpler way?
There has to be something better. I don't want to use this archiving nonsense that Xcode seem to be forcing this upon us, and creating a new scheme is tedious. All of my other many many complaints about Xcode 4 aside, this one I simply understand the least and yet is so important.
Thanks,
