XCode - GitHub ´SecureTransport error: I/O error. (-1)´ - ios

I'm having an issue when pushing to my GitHub repo (it's an iOS app for iPhone). I haven't had any problem doing this in the last few years. However, without changing anything related to the connection between XCode and GitHub, now I get this error message:
I've checked and all my credentials are up to date, the project is working fine, and I'm able to do commits, but when I do the push. The error appears and no push is done.
Furthermore, I've tried pushing other projects and there is no problem. Also, the push size is not that big.
What should I do to solve this error? I'm using the Source Control functionality of XCode.


When doing the push through command line (terminal), I found out that the error was produced due to a file that had a size of +100MB. I had to remove it and everything went fine.
Remark: That file was a pod library. So, be careful when pushing all your project. At the end, to backup the whole project you just need the podfile, as it is the one you use to install pod libraries.


I had same issue cause of selecting different origin, select default origin and Source Control > Push and select Origin in dropdown then push


I was having this issue then I used terminal and I realised that I needed to add my personal access token to my push request.
To get your personal access token, go to your github.com account->profile->Settings->Developer settings->Personal access tokens and generate a new token. Save somewhere safe as you can only copy once else you have to regenerate again
Initialising and committing your project locally. Skip if you've already committed
cd <directory of your project>
git init
git add .
git commit -m "type in a commit message here"
Pushing to your remote project on github.com
git remote add origin https://github.com/AccountName/testProject.git
git push -u origin master
It'll prompt you to enter Username & Password but password should be your token already created on github prior and NOT your account password
Username for 'https://github.com': <your username here>
Password for '<your username is shown here>': <access token here>

Xcode 11 SPM authentication failed because no credentials provided

I started using Swift package manager and when I add repository with https (https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire.git) address authentication always fails when I try to login with my github account
Xcode authentication fail
But if I'm using git#github.com:Alamofire/Alamofire.git it will get added successfully. I tried regenerating new key, deleted .ssh directory but nothing makes https work and I still get xcode authentication failed because no credentials were provided error. I could use locally ssh url but in CI I need one with https.

It was a problem with git config. In .gitconfig file it was set to
[url "git#github.com:"]
insteadOf = https://github.com/
After removing this section https worked correctly
EDIT: as mentioned in comments you can easily access your gitconfig in terminal with command: git config --global --edit

In my case with Xcode 11.3.1 I had the same problem and I solved changing de auth method to SSH from HTTPS in Github account preferences on Xcode.

Building off of two previous answers, I solved this by doing what Abrahanfer did, setting Clone using to SSH in Xcode Preferences -> Account.
Then I used the SSH url of the repo, for example: git#github.com:AppPear/SwiftUI-PullToRefresh.git

you can use ssh URLs instead of https, e.g. git#github.com:ORG_NAME/REPO_NAME.git

I double clicked the error message Error while fetching remote repository: git#github.com:ORG/REPO-NAME.git or the The server SSH fingerprint failed to verify
in Xcode's Report Navigator which then a popup appeared asking if I wanted to trust the host. After clicking that I was able to add the Swift Package using SSH.
Selecting HTTPS or SSH in the Xcode Preferences did not fix for me because Xcode seems to automatically handle SSH GitHub URLs in the SPM flow.

what worked for me was both #SimonasDaniliauskas answer and #Abrahanfer answer
Basically in the command line I had to run:
git config --global --unset-all url.git#github.com:.insteadof
And in Xcode I had to go to Xcode > Preferences and switch my GitHub to use SSH
Btw, if you don't have ssh setup, follow this medium post or these GitHub directions. If you need change your ssh keys follow this YouTube tutorial

If you are facing this and your .gitconfig has below, and you want to keep it!
[url "git#github.com:"]
insteadOf = https://github.com/
just add below two lines after above two lines in your .gitconfig
[url "https://github.com/apple"]
insteadOf = https://github.com/apple
Duplicate above two lines and replace /apple with any other /user or /org where you might want to download your packages from

Try removing it and adding it again. If that won't work, remove your GitHub account from Xcode. Usually, git via ssh works better. What CI are you using?

For me, it seems more like a red herring (maybe a fellow developer accidentally checked in this small change related to swift package in project setting). I went to project setting, removed it from under "Swift Packages". It seems okay after that.

I keep having this issue in Xcode 12.0.1 (12A7300).
My GitHub credentials seemed to not work, even though I applied all the suggestions above.
The way I fixed it (for now, at least) was to switch to SSH only authentication.

I managed to get HTTPS working fine with CI. The solution, with bitrise, is to use 'Authenticate host with netrc', then Xcode will find private HTTPS repos properly. I am sure other CI platforms (or your own) can setup the same solution.

Adding repo via source tree and checking out repo through Xcode use some other tool, then adding same repo via SPM. Try creating SSH key via rsa key algorithm instead of ed255189 key algorithm. SPM tool comfortably work with rsa.
Note: rsa key authentication is slower than ed25519 key authentication.

I followed the other anwsers here with no success. Eventually it turned out that the package was added to XCode with my username inside the https domain, like that:
https://yarden_k#bitbucket.org/private/package/path.git
so I had to adjust the accepted answer the same way (I added those lines to .gitconfig file):
[url "git#bitbucket.org:"]
insteadOf = https://yarden_k#bitbucket.org/
And viola! It finally worked. Was a real headache to figure this one out.

Me too facing this problem
Check your repo access is correct and you have proper access for PUSH the code
They only gave me READ access, After facing this issue I'll informed to respective person and get WRITE access

IOS/Xcode/Git: Suddenly can't commit changes withunable to auto-detect email address error [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Xcode and Git Source Control : “The working copy XXXXX failed to commit files”
(5 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
out of the blue, after having commited changes to my local depository countless times in the past, Xcode is not allowing me to commit with the following error message:
The working copy “MYAPPNAME” failed to commit files.
*** Please tell me who you are.
Run
git config --global user.email "you#example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.
fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'myuserid#mycomputername.(none)')
I see that you can set the email address in the command line but I'm wondering what could have caused this error to suddenly appear. Also, since I am in the habit of pushing changes to a remote repo, I'm wondering if any changes I make now on my Mac will create problems syncing to that repo.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions on what might have caused this error to suddenly occur and the safest approach to dealing with it.

As I mentioned here, that means your global settings no longer includes user.name/user.email.
That does not affect your past commits (which have been pushed): only the ones, that Git does not want to create as long as you haven't entered again your name/email.
Check the result of git config -l --show-origin: one of those file must have changed recently.
Typically:
~/.gitconfig file, or:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config
If the environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_HOME has been reset, that might explain why this error message suddenly appears.

This has nothing to do with your username and password for pushing and fetching to a remote.
It’s just a question of the identifying info that git associates with every commit. Without a name and email, you can’t create a commit.
Just do what the message requests and all will be well.

Please make sure you have the correct access right and the repository exists github

When I try to push my changes to my github repo I am receiving the error:
Fatal: 'git#github.comRedHoodJT1988/hello_app.git' does not appear to be a git repository
Fatal: could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.
I have looked at the documentation and completed the steps here:https://help.github.com/articles/error-permission-denied-publickey/
As well as looked at other sites and nothing is working. I am able to connect to ssh because I receive the message :Hi RedHoodJT1988...
I am at a loss for what to do next. I am not using a cloud IDE I am on a macbook pro if that helps. Also, not sure if it matters, I am developing a Ruby on Rails application.

You're missing a colon in your address and need to change your remote named origin
git remote remove origin
git remote add origin https://github.com/RedHoodJT1988/hello_app.git

Since it is an SSH URL, there should not be any https involved:
git remote set-url origin git#github.com:RedHoodJT1988/hello_app.git

Remote Git repository unreachable in XCode 5

I have created a remote Git repository for a new project. I have added to my remotes and XCode recognizes it. When creating the new project, I checked the box for Source Control > create git repository on: and selected "Add to New Server"
When I enter my login credentials, I get the following message:
The server https://... is unavailable or may not exist. Check the server address, check your network connection, and then try again.
I have verified that my login is correct and the url is definitely valid. What might I be doing wrong?
Thanks!

Was able to solve my issue using the following:
git remote add origin git#github.com:pheepster/<repoName>.git
git push origin master:master
with the help of: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14470400/2115842

In addition to the two git commands in #Pheepster's answer, I suggest you check you are running the current version of GIT on both the development Mac and Server. Once I had the current version of GIT on both systems the two lines above solved my issue.

Cannot connect to valid github repository

I have read/write access to a private repository owned by someone else but RubyMine cannot connect to the Git URL. Workflow:
Open RubyMine
Click on "Check out from source control"
Select Git
Enter URL, click "Test", and Test fails
I'm using OSX Lion and my Github credentials have already been saved. I've tried connecting to a few other github URLs on the "Explore" tab at github.com and I haven't had any trouble. Suggestions?

I was able to fix this by following the tutorial on GitHub, Generating SSH Keys, exactly. I also deleted any existing keys in my account before adding a new one. In the RubyMine dialog, I pasted the ssh link to my repository instead of the HTTP one. Hope this helps someone else.
https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys

I would recommend to create an issue in the RubyMine bugtracker and attach the log file there (Help -> Reveal Log in Finder). Maybe it is a bug in RubyMine support of Git over HTTP.
Meanwhile as a workaround you may use SSH, as adviced by user1836351.
Another workaround is specifying your credentials in the ~/.netrc file.
Example of the file content:
machine github.com
login yourname
password yourpassword
