iOS iOS app fails to compile because GameMaker cannot "find archive"

Hey folks, running into this annoying issue while trying to create an iOS app on a Macbook, and was hoping someone more experienced than me with Apple development could provide some tips.

When I try to create an iOS executable (after following the steps to set up my Macbook and setting up for iOS, which all went smoothly), I receive an error stating:

Found archive find: /Users/ali/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives: No such file or directory
Package now open in Xcode Organizer on Mac.

(Full console output below)

I guess I'm missing some step due to which this "Archive" directory doesn't get created and GameMaker fails to create the executable. Any idea what I might be missing here?

(For what it's worth, under the Locations tab in Xcode > Preferences, the Archives option is set to "Default" and it does point to the same Archives directory referenced in the error above.)



And I tried creating the folder manually to see what the error message changes to, and then I get the following:

"/Users/ali/GameMakerStudio2/iOS/GMS2IOS/strange-loops/strange_loops/strange_loops/__yy_certificate.xcconfig" -scheme strange_loops archive ; "
System.Exception: could not find archive


Here is the full console output that gives the error message stating that the Archive folder wasn't found:

Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

Okay, never mind, fixed the issue.

For anyone else who runs into this issue, this is how it got fixed. Deleted the current project from Xcode, then enabled Developer Mode under Preferences > Server & Bots. Restarted GameMaker IDE, and tried compiling again. No idea why this worked this time, but it did.

But for some reason, the sound isn't working on the app now, so might create a new thread for that soon, lol.
