Solution

  • Answer valid through Xcode 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12+


    You can not archive, because from target you have not selected device or Generic iOS device or Any iOS Device , still there is a simulator.

    Nothing generic or wrong with Xcode 7. This happens with all Xcode versions.

    In Xcode 12 it is named Any iOS Device
