Archiving project in Xcode incorrectly creates multi-application bundle

xcode ios-4.2 xcode4 archiving xcode-organizer

Archiving my project in Xcode is creating a multi-application bundle, instead of bundling my main target for release, which is what I want. Specifically, when I validate my archive in Organizer, it gives me the message:

"[projectname] does not contain a single–bundle application or contains multiple products. Please select another archive, or adjust your scheme to create a single–bundle application."

It sounds like there is some setting in the scheme that needs to be adjusted, but I can't figure out what's causing other targets to be included.

I'm using Xcode 4.0 by the way.

OK, answering my own question. Turns out it is an issue with dependent projects in XCode 4. If this happens to you, go through the Build Settings for all your dependent projects (e.g. static libraries) and make sure that the "Skip Install" option under "Deployment" is set to YES.
