If you have Xcode 4 Build Location setting set to  Place build products in derived data location  recommended   it should be located in   Library Developer Xcode DerivedData  This directory will have your project in there as a directory  the project name will be appended with a bunch of generated letters so look carefully

From the Xcode menu on top  click preferences  select the locations tab  look at the build location option   You have 2 options    Place build products in derived data location  recommended  Place build products in locations specified by targets   Update  On xcode 4 6 2 you need to click the advanced button on the right side below the derived data text field  Build Location select legacy

Another thing to check before you start playing with Xcode preferences is   Select your target and go to Build Settings   Packaging   Wrapper Extension  The value there should be  app  If not double click it and type  app  without the qoutes

If you build from command line  you can set output directory in the following way   xcodebuild -workspace  WORKSPACE NAME xcworkspace               -scheme  SCHEME NAME               -configuration  Release               -sdk iphoneos7 0 CONFIGURATION BUILD DIR  OUTPUT DIRECTORY

You can always find the build directory by looking in the build log viewer  and copying the path there into a terminal window   I use this to analyze my iOS  app bundles before they get installed to make sure no stray files are being included

For anyone who wants to find the build directory from a script but does not want to change it  run the following to get a list of all the build settings that point to a folder in DerivedData   xcodebuild -showBuildSettings   grep DerivedData   If you run custom targets and schemes  please put them there as well   xcodebuild -workspace  Foo xcworkspace  -scheme  Bar  -sdk iphonesimulator -configuration Debug -showBuildSettings   grep DerivedData   Look at the output to locate the setting output that you want and then   xcodebuild -showBuildSettings   grep SYMROOT   cut -d     -f 2 -   sed  s          The last part cuts the string at the equal sign and then trims the whitespace at the beginning

If you use the new Xcode4 Workspaces  you can change the Derived Data Location under File -  Workspace settings

User · Answer

Keep derived data but use the DSTROOT to specify the destination    Use DEPLOYMENT LOCATION to force deployment    Use the undocumented DWARF DSYM FOLDER PATH to copy the dSYM over too    This allows you to use derived data location from xcodebuild and not have to do wacky stuff to find the app   xcodebuild -sdk  iphoneos  -workspace Foo xcworkspace -scheme Foo -configuration  Debug  DEPLOYMENT LOCATION YES DSTROOT tmp DWARF DSYM FOLDER PATH tmp build

This was so annoying  Open your project  click on Target  Open Build Phases tab  Check your Copy Bundle Resources for any red items
