Every time you build in XCode is has been building a "standalone" app in order to run it. It's been build it into a derived data directory.

To find the derived data directory.

  1. Window | Organizer
  2. Projects tab
  3. Select your project on the left
  4. You'll see the Derived Data path
  5. Click the arrow to open the Derived Data path in Finder
  6. Go into Build/Products/Debug or Build/Products/Release

You can also have XCode export an archive of your program.

  1. Change to a release scheme
  2. Product | Archive
  3. Window | Organizer
  4. Archives tab
  5. Select your project on the left
  6. Select the latest release version in the archive
  7. Share
  8. Application
  9. Save the Application somewhere
