Thanks a lot, I had the same issue and was close to tearing my remaining hair out.

I was about ready to toss this stupid pile right out the window. Now I get the archive to show up but Xcode 4 crashes every time I hit the submit button.

FU SJ.

As a follow up - Submit and Validate will crash Xcode 4.0, you MUST get 4.0.1 for these to work. Nice job over in QA there Apple.

It's done at last. It looks a very improved intervention. I had same situation with Mike.
Thank you very much.

The SKIP_INSTALL was indeed the problem for me. I had switched it on after reading the documentation, and that's when my archives started becoming empty. The documentation says: "if [your application] relies on static libraries, ensure that those libraries are part of the application binary by setting the Skip Install build setting to Yes in the Release build configuration of the target that builds and archives the application." Well, I didn't have any static libraries, but I was building in a private framework, and so I thought that setting SKIP_INSTALL to YES for Release would be a good idea. Didn't seem like it would do any harm. Wrong!

Thanks. It worked! I spent 2 days trying to figure this out.

That did it for me too! Thanks!

Thank you for the tip. I am using PhoneGap and the changing Install to No fixed the problem.
