INTRO
Greetings!
I have recently been granted access to a proprietary (that is, private) GitHub repository for iOS development. I'm on a Mac (OS 10.15.6 Catalina, the latest MacOS as of this writing) with the latest non-beta XCode version installed today (11.7) as well as the latest iOS emulator as of this writing (iOS 13.7). I am new at using Macs, at XCode, and working with this project, and the author of this GitHub code hasn't been available to help me work with his code. (I am well familiar with downloading files from GitHub and the Internet in general.)
I know this GitHub repo has XCode inside because there's an XCode file, Pods.xcodeproj. There are also many other files, including .xcconfig files.
It may be a hardware problem. This Mac's technical specs were minimalistic: It has less than 4 gig of physical RAM and a recently-obtained hard disk space upgrade to put it around 70 gig of total space, or enough to work with Android Studio and XCode. (A sample project failed to run in the simulator due to having too little RAM.)
Thus, what's wrong and how should it be fixed?
Thankee!

The presence of the Pods path suggests the project is using CocoaPods. If so,
If you haven’t already, install CocoaPods.
Once that’s installed on your computer, go to the project root folder in Terminal and run pod install to download the pods.
In Xcode, open the .xcworkspace, not the .xcodeproj.
But 4gb of RAM may simply be too modest to use Xcode at all. If you can’t create and run a simple test project in Xcode, you certainly won’t be able to open a bigger project. My recollection was a 8gb minimum, but even that will struggle. 16gb is pretty decent and if you can afford more, so much the better.

Before trying to mark this question as a duplicate, hear me out. I've successfully implemented firebase into my flutter project on Android, Windows (Android Studio). The next step was to test it on a physical device (iPhone) so I did the following:
cloned repository from GitHub onto my mac (BigSur virtual machine)
used: flutter pub get (for dependencies)
used: open Runner.xcworkspace and configured it accordingly (connected iPhone, added team, certificates, etc)
Added the GoogleService-Info.plist into Runner folder
Run the app, resulting in: fatal error: module 'cloud_firestore' not found
The app worked on my phone prior to the implementation of firebase. From what I've read online, Flutter automatically generates pod files, but I have no such file(s) in my iOS folder, which is odd as I added firebase dependencies to the yaml file (and ran flutter pub get), so a pod file should be generated. On the other hand, creating pod files manually resulted in 3 additional errors (including the current one) and 2 warnings, which seemed counter-intuitive.
I cant update any deployment targets since the pod file is not there (and creating an empty one creates more issues). Also tried deleting the ios folder and 'flutter create .' which creates the folder without podfile(s).
Any help is appreciated.
The solution to this problem is to make sure flutter doctor is up to date. Even though it was when I first setup my project, I ran it on my Mac and to my surprise there were two commands I had to run related to Xcode which then automatically generated the podfile.
I have an iOS app, which I recently updated to support Mac Catalyst. For the Mac version I added a new target, which I also added to my Podfile with the subset of the same libraries, including Realm.
The app builds well for "My Mac", but when I want to archive it (build for release), it fails with the following error:
"Umbrella header 'Realm.h' not found"
I am not familiar with the problem, what could go wrong?
I tried the usual Derived Data deleting, etc, but nothing seems to help. Is this some kind of problem with the CocoaPods, my config, or with Realm?
Due to CocoaPods not releasing 1.10.2 I have fixed the same issue in my project.
Remove Realm from your pod file
pod install in terminal to remove it fully
Install Swift Package Manager for (Xcode) - https://swiftpackageregistry.com/realm/realm-cocoa
This should allow you to get the project archived successfully.
I've made an IOS build on Unity for an App we're making after adding the facebook SDK, moved the build on a hard drive and tried to build it on xcode on the mac we have at the office, as I always do before uploading it to the app store. I ran into this error and I've been stuck on this issue for 2 full work days and it's driving me a bit crazy, here are the thing's I've tried:
-Install cocoapods, both on the default terminal directory and on the project's directory (I'm not too experienced with cocoapods so I don't know if that made a difference. I also did pod update while standing on the project directory).
-I saw that the IOS resolver has an option called "generate pod files" that people said needed to be checked when building to solve this issue. It was checked by default on my project, so that wasn't it.
-Added the framework path on the build settings to where the facebook SDK is at (though the way it looked on my xcode seemed a bit different than the way I've seen it on other people's xcode screenshots)
-Tried commenting out some #include lines on the headers that are generating the issue. It only produced more errors.
-People said to open the project from the workspace instead of the xcodeproject but unity doesn't seem to generate a workspace file.
-Tried downgrading the Facebook SDK to a previous version but the versions people claim are working don't seem to be on the repository anymore, so it doesn't let me downgrade to them.
At the moment I'm trying to make it work with the latest Facebook SDK which is 9.0.0.
Any help would be appreciated, please let me know if I'm not being specific enough about the issue or if there's any information about my project I should include on the post
The .xcworkspace should be created by Cocoapods, not by Unity directly.
If you already have the Podfile generated, just run pod install on the project directory and open the created .xcworkspace file after Cocoapods finishes installing the external dependencies.
I have an Xcode project for an iOS app as a legacy project. Full source code, it works 100%. I need to publish it to AppStore. But I have never used Xcode, macOS or done any ios app development related stuff and I have problems to compile it and not sure if I am doing it correctly.
I tried "Product->Run" and "Product->Build". I always get "Build Failed" and some errors. In the navbar, I choose "iPhone 7 (10.3.1)" and some other versions as well. Errors I get -
But as I mentioned, it is a finished app and I don't feel I should be making any changes to the code and not to a 3rd party code (SDWebImage).
I want to compile this project so I get the .ipa file. What is the step-by-step approach to getting a .ipa file from source code?
You mentioned in the comments that you downloaded and unpacked a .zip of the project. Your issues are most likely caused by a conflict in the way the dependencies were setup.
Try delete the pods folder and run pod install in terminal, in the root project folder, to re-install all the project dependencies.
I was working on a project before in Xcode 7, it perfectly compiled and ran. When I copied the entire project onto a fresh installed macOS and tried to compile in Xcode 8.2.1 I get these errors. I tried all these links listed below, none of them helped. Is there a fix to this?

It appears that your project has external dependencies that you haven't accounted for. It's hard to say what those are without a look at the project, but the header files that Xcode is complaining about (e.g. L2SDKIPCamViewer.h, DGActivityIndicatorView.h, etc.) should provide some clues. Check the original machine to see whether it has a package manager like CocoaPods installed, and if so, which packages are installed. The project's dependencies should be documented in a README file somewhere near the top of the project's file hierarchy, but if the project was developed by you or someone in your organization, or if the developer was just too busy to bother, that might not be the case and you'll have to find and fix the dependencies one at a time.
