Description

Issue

When setting a custom location for the archive files in Xcode and building from Studio the file is saved in the default location /Users/username/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives instead of the new directory making the archive file unavailable for the organizer.

Steps to repro

Open Xcode Preferences Modify Archive directory in Locations to /Users/username/documents/archive In Studio package an app for iTunes Store Expected Results: The .xcarchive file will be created in the custom directory /Users/username/documents/archive and will be available in the Xcode Organizer for Validation and Upload Actual Results: The .xcarchive file is created in the default directory /Users/username/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives and is not available for the Xcode Organizer to be validated.

Is this related to an existing ticket?

I don't recollect there is an existing ticket for this issue. Also, I think this issue should be handled through CLI.

This is caused by [this hardcoded line](https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/blob/master/iphone/cli/hooks/package.js#L40). -I'm wondering what Studio does with the custom path.- The custom path is set [here](https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/blob/master/iphone/cli/hooks/package.js#L192) and could be used above as well.

I've already labeled this issue as cb-tooling and it will be addressed in the next build system.

Ohh, that's what it's for. Alright then! The change is a one-liner, but that's also fine!
