How can I create a shortcut to archive in Xcode?

Question

I have to create many Xcode archive to upload IPA on HockeApp and iTunes Store.

Whenever I have to do it, I have to choose device as 'Generic iOS device' and the item Archive from Product Menu of Xxode.

Is there a way in Xcode to create a shortcut button or extension which can create an archive for me?

You should write a script that does it for each archive you need to build. Use the xcode command line tools. See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2664885/xcode-build-and-archive-from-command-line — i_am_jorf, Nov 07 '17 at 22:44

You can simply make a key binding to the Archive option.

Go to Xcode/Preferences/Key Bindings and search for Archive to modify its shortcut.

I can see the key bindings but unable to change it. – ahmed Nov 08 '17 at 23:11
Double-click on the Key section of a key binding and press the key combination that you want to use. – Tamás Sengel Nov 09 '17 at 08:20
Doesn't works for me. I remember I used it earlier and it worked but now it isnt working. Not sure what needs to be changed – ahmed Nov 09 '17 at 19:31
