Getting Started

Find your Xcode project

To find your Xcode project:

  1. Right click on the blue .xcodeproj file at the top of your file directory in Xcode.

  2. Click "Reveal in Finder" to show the .xcodeproj file inside your Xcode project folder.

  3. Within Finder, enable the path bar. In your menu bar, click on View > Show Path Bar.

  4. In the path bar, click on the folder that contains your Xcode project folder.

    • In my case, it's my "xcode" folder, since it contains my "TopSecretApp" Xcode project folder.

Zip your Xcode project

To zip your Xcode project:

  1. Verify that it's the right folder. Double click on your Xcode project folder. It should contain your blue .xcodeproj file and another folder with the same name.

  2. Once verified, you may head back by clicking on the "Back" arrow button.

  3. Right click on your Xcode project folder and press "Compress".

  4. If you see a .zip file with your Xcode project folder name, you're done. You can share this .zip file with others.

Things to note

  • Do not zip just your .xcodeproj file.

  • Ensure that the Xcode project folder you're zipping contains a folder (of the same name) with all your .swift files.
