Dealing with Gatekeeper in OSX Sierra

Hi all,

Found something interesting in OSX Sierra. The gate keeper showed only 2 options

No Anywhere option in Gatekeeper. :(

But you can make it visible by running command in Terminal. So to

Disable GateKeeper

The case of Missing 'Archive'

Hey Folks,

Many of you might have faced this issue..
You start your day with creating an archive to get it tested or to upload to App store but AFAIK no archive created or created with ZERO bytes.

Had faced the same issue multiple times and solved it with different steps.
So here you go. It might help some one.


Steps that should definitely be followed:


Set Installation Directory in Build Settings of the Target

• /Applications

Set Skip Install of Project

• NO

Set Skip Install of Targets / Libraries for Release Scheme

• NO

Set Skip Install of Targets / Libraries for Debug Scheme

• YES

Check Compile Sources of all the Targets

• Files should be listed here

Thanks to All....
