Note that I'm also concerned about frameworks. AFAICS the Organizer doesn't
allow me to access frameworks that I've just archived.

I'm creating a framework which I want to give to other people. Now
how should I find the final release build of this framework after
archiving? Do I really have to open Finder and navigate to
/Users/andreas/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyTestFramework-gcjvzcxbhhtkzigvxtfgzmkbcbbn/Build/Intermediates/ArchiveIntermediates/MyTestFramework/BuildProductsPath/Release-iphoneos/MyTestFramework.framework
in order to grab the framework and send it to my users? Xcode really
wants me to do that?

I'm not using that yet. So far I haven't even enrolled in the Apple
developer program.

No. Xcode doesn't seem to store copies of the app/framework in
the Xcode archive at all.

But it can't be that difficult to do this? For me getting my hands
on a clean final release build without having to browse through dozens
of folders (which are all similarly named with lots of redundancies)
is the most natural thing in the world and it's quite frustrating to
see that this should be such a difficult issue...
