Adding swift to obj-c project causes Generic archive to be generated? - ios

After adding Swift support to an existing Obj-C Xcode 6.4 project it's now generating Generic Xcode Archives instead of iOS App Archives.
The commit that broke it is here: https://github.com/thoughtbot/Tropos/commit/57da8e4
What can I do to have this generate iOS App Archives again?

Looks like my "Installation Directory" was set incorrectly. It was set to $(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR) when it should be set to Applications. Manually doing this or removing the custom setting does this.

Xcode 13 - The project at '/Users/test.xcodeproj' cannot be opened because it is in a future Xcode project file format

When opening in Xcode 12.5 a project created with Xcode13, I get this error message:
"The project at '/Users/[...].xcodeproj' cannot be opened because it is in a future Xcode project file format. Adjust the project format using a compatible version of Xcode to allow it to be opened by this version of Xcode."
how am I supposed to adjust the project?
It is easy to change the project format in the Xcode file inspector:
But this is not the whole picture.
Another issue is the missing plist file in Xcode13 created projects.
To make the new project compatible in Xcode 12 you need to add a plist file. The best and quicker solution is to make a new project in Xcode 12 and copy and drop the plist file in the new Xcode13 project. Then make add the necessary changes for your project.
You will need to stop Xcode 13 to generate new plist files when you make changes. So return to the project in Xcode13 and set generate plist file to no under packaging in Build Settings:
I found very helpful information about this in a very good article on useyourloaf.com
I solved it selecting the target in the project settings, opening the identity and type window and changing to Xcode 12.0. Then open the project workspace again and done!
Check also the command line tools you are using in Xcode preferences --> locations

Why does Xcode want me to add "#available" checks when the Deployment Target is already at a higher version?

My SwiftUI project has its Deployment Target version set to 15.0. However, when I try to use the new Logger API, I'm still getting warnings about the SDK is only available for iOS 14 or above.
Could it be that an extension to UIImage requires something special? I have a few other files that I used the Logger and the compiler isn't complaining.
As suggested by Kiril, the problem happens because the Test Project was targeting 13.2.
Grep showed that project.pbxproj file has a 13.2 specified. After changing the xml file directly, the problem disappeared.
(I didn't notice this because the test Target doesn't have a place showing the "Deployment Info".

Xcode 7.0.1 - Invalid Swift Support - The SwiftSupport folder is missing.

I try to publish on AppStore an App that contains Swift 2.0 files, but I receive the following email:
Dear developer,
We have discovered one or more issues with your recent delivery for
"EMO MILANO". To process your delivery, the following issues must be
corrected:
Invalid Swift Support - The SwiftSupport folder is missing. Rebuild
your app using the current public (GM) version of Xcode and resubmit
it.
Once these issues have been corrected, you can then redeliver the
corrected binary.
Regards,
The App Store team
I read the following thread oh stackoverflow (Invalid Binary Or Invalid Swift Support Invalid Swift Support / invalid implementation of swift) but I don't find any solution.
I Have a project that has multiple target and uses Cocoa pods.
This is a screenshot of the project navigator:
Ideas?
To be safe, all components of your app should be built with the same version of Xcode and the Swift compiler to ensure that they work together.
I think you need to do a pod clean and install. I reckon one of your swift pods was created on a old version of Xcode, you updated Xcode and then tried to do a submission to the app store.
Read the apple swift blog about binary compatibility and frameworks
You will also want to specify that your embedded content contains swift in the build settings:
EMBEDDED_CONTENT_CONTAINS_SWIFT
Enable this setting to indicate that content embedded in a target's product contains Swift code, so that the standard Swift libraries can be included in the product.
I just resolved an instance of this problem with Apple support.
The problem turned out to be some junk files were being included in the IPA file from my CI/CD system. In particular I had a .gitkeep file which came from a rsync command, and a .DS_Store file which I put there indirectly by poking around with Finder.
The fix was to tighten the rsync command I was using to import some frameworks from Jenkins to exclude .gitkeep, .DS_Store and any other dot-files.
YMMV. The support engineer agreed that it was a confusing error message.

dyld: Library not loaded: #rpath/libswiftCore.dylib

I am trying to run a Swift app on my iPhone 4s. It works fine on the simulator, and my friend can successfully run it on his iPhone 4s. I have iOS 8 and the official release of Xcode 6.
I have tried
Restarting Xcode, iPhone, computer
Cleaning & rebuilding
Revoking and creating new certificate/provision profile
Runpath Search Paths is $(inherited) #executable_path/Frameworks
Embedded Content Contains Swift Code is 'Yes'
Code Signing Identity is developer
Below is the error in entirety
dyld: Library not loaded: #rpath/libswiftCore.dylib
Referenced from: /private/var/mobile/Containers/Bundle/Application/LONGSERIALNUMBER/AppName.app/AppName
Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:

/private/var/mobile/Containers/Bundle/Application/LONGSERIALNUMBER/APPLICATION_NAME/Frameworks/libswiftCore.dylib
For me none of the previous solutions worked. We discovered that there is an "Always Embed Swift Standard Libraries" flag in the Build Settings that needs to be set to YES. It was NO by default!
Build Settings > Always Embed Swift Standard Libraries
After setting this, clean the project before building again.
For keen readers some explanation
The most important part is:
set the Embedded Content Contains Swift Code (EMBEDDED_CONTENT_CONTAINS_SWIFT) build setting to YES in your app as shown in Figure 2. This build setting, which specifies whether a target's product has embedded content with Swift code, tells Xcode to embed Swift standard libraries in your app when set to YES.
The flag was formerly called Embedded Content Contains Swift Code
Surprisingly enough, all i did was "Clean" my project (shift+cmd+K) and it worked. Did seem to be related to the certificate though.
I started getting this error when I removed:
#executable_path/Frameworks
from Runpath Search Paths in my build settings. Replacing it fixed everything up again (thank goodness for source control!)
I don't know how it got there, but it appears to be needed for a binary to find its embedded Swift runtime.
For the device, you also need to add the dynamic framework to the Embedded binaries section in the General tab of the project.
In Xcode 8 the option for Embedded Content Contains Swift Code option is no longer available.
It has been renamed to "Always Embed Swift Standard Libraries = YES"
Xcode 13 here (13.1 with react-native).
Created a clean react-native project and saw /usr/lib/swift as an entry in Runpath Search Paths.
After adding that, my project finally ran without crashing!
Nothing helped from what was suggested before.
I think it's a bug when certificates are generated directly from Xcode. To resolve (at least in Xcode 6.1 / 6A1052d):
go to the Apple Developer website where certificates are managed: https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/certificate/certificateList.action
select your certificate(s) (which should show "Managed by Xcode" under "Status") and "Revoke" it
follow instructions here to manually generate a new certificate: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/MaintainingCertificates/MaintainingCertificates.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012582-CH31-SW32
go to Xcode > Preferences > Accounts > [your Apple ID] > double-click your team name > hit refresh button to update certificates and provisioning profiles
I was having this issue with running my Swift tests (but not my app). It turns out that the test needed to have more than #executable_path/Frameworks in it's Runpath Search Paths build setting for the test target. Setting the Runpath Search Paths to the following worked a charm for me:
$(inherited)
#executable_path/Frameworks
#loader_path/Frameworks
OK, sharing here another cause of this error. It took me a few hours to sort this out.
In my case the trust policy of my certificate in Keychain Access was Always Trust, changing it back to defaults solved the problem.
In order to open the certificate settings window double click the certificate in the Keychain Access list of certificates.
This issue occurs again in Xcode 10.2. You must download and install the following package from Apple. It provides Swift 5 Runtime Support for Command Line Tools.
https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1998?locale=en_US
You have to set the Runpath Search Paths to #executable_path/Frameworks as showed in the following screenshot of Build Settings:
If you have any embedded frameworks made in Swift, than you can set to YES the Build Options Embedded Content Contains Swift Code.
I think Apple has already summarized it under Swift app crashes when trying to reference Swift library libswiftCore.dylib
Cited from Technical Q&A QA1886:
Swift app crashes when trying to reference Swift library
libswiftCore.dylib.
Q: What can I do about the libswiftCore.dylib loading error in my
device's console that happens when I try to run my Swift language app?
A: To correct this problem, you will need to sign your app using code
signing certificates with the Subject Organizational Unit (OU) set to
your Team ID. All Enterprise and standard iOS developer certificates
that are created after iOS 8 was released have the new Team ID field
in the proper place to allow Swift language apps to run.
Usually this error appears in the device's console log with a message
similar to one of the following:

The new certificates are needed when building an archive and packaging
your app. Even if you have one of the new certificates, just resigning
an existing swift app archive won’t work. If it was built with a
pre-iOS 8 certificate, you will need to build another archive.
Important: Please use caution if you need to revoke and setup up a new
Enterprise Distribution certificate. If you are an in-house Enterprise
developer you will need to be careful that you do not revoke a
distribution certificate that was used to sign an app any one of your
Enterprise employees is still using as any apps that were signed with
that enterprise distribution certificate will stop working
immediately. The above only applies to Enterprise Distribution
certificates. Development certs are safe to revoke for
enterprise/standard iOS developers.
As the AirSign guys state the problem roots from the missing OU attribute in the subject field of the In-House certificate.
Subject: UID=269J2W3P2L, CN=iPhone Distribution: Company Name, OU=269J2W3P2L, O=Company Name, C=FR
I have an enterprise development certificate, creating a new one solved the issue.
Let's project P is importing custom library L, then you must add L into
P -> Build Phases -> Embed Frameworks -> +. That works for me.
This error message can also be caused when upgrading Xcode (and subsequently to a new version of Swift) and your project uses a framework built/compiled with an older/previous version of Swift.
In this case rebuilding the framework and re-adding it will fix the problem.
The most easy and easy to ignored way : clean and rebuild.
This solved the issue after tried the answers above and did not worked.
I was having the same problem after moving to a new mac, and after hours, trying all the suggested answers in the questions, none of this worked for me.
The solution for me was installing this missing certificate.

Change Copy Pods Resources for the target from:
"${SRCROOT}/Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-Wishlist/Pods-Wishlist-resources.sh"
to:
"${SRCROOT}/Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-Wishlist/Pods-Wishlist-frameworks.sh"
I solved by deleting the derived data and this time it worked correctly. Tried with Xcode 7.3.1GM
After having tried out everything, I finally found out, that the build seems not always include every detail again and again. Maybe for speeding up the process...
In order to ensure WHOLE packaging before running on a device, make a Clean first: Shift-Cmd-K.
Then build with: Cmd-B.
After that run it on your device.
Easy.
Kind regards to all you nice guys in that place!
We had a unity project that creates an xcode project that includes libraries that use swift.
We tried each and every reasonable suggestion on this thread.
Nothing worked. Code runs fine on new devices, and crashes on iOS<=12
It seems that swift is so smart, that even if you set it to "ALWAYS_EMBED_SWIFT_LIBRAIES"="YES" it does not include the swift libraries.
What actually solved the problem for us is to include a dummy swift file in the project.
The file must contain calls to dispatch, foundation libraries.
Apparently this hints mighty-xcode to force include the libraries, but this time for real.
Here is the dummy file we added that made it work:
import Dispatch
import Foundation
class ForceSwiftInclusion {
init() {
// Force dispatch library.
DispatchQueue.main.async {
print("something")
}
// Force foundation library.
let uuid = UUID().uuidString
print("\(uuid)")
}
}
For unity, also add project.AddBuildProperty(target, "SWIFT_VERSION", "Swift 5"); to your post processing for creating the xcode project.
In my case, it was just the name of my target :
I renamed it like this : MyApp.something and the same issue appeared.
But I saw in the build Settings window, my product module name has been changed like this MyApp-something.
So, I removed the dot in my target name (MyAppSomething) and the issue was gone.
For me, having tried everything with no success, what worked was to remove #executable_path/Frameworks from the Packaging section (don't know how it came to be in there in the first place)
What worked for me in Xcode 11 was going to General -> Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content and changing the "Embed" option for the framework in question to "Embed & Sign"
None of the solutions worked for me. Restarting the phone fixed it. Strange but it worked.
none of these solutions seemed to work but when I changed the permission of the world Wide Developer cert to Use System defaults then it worked. I have included the steps and screenshots in the link below
I would encourage you to log the ticket in apple bug report as mentioned here as Apple really should solve this massive error:

I had the same issue for Xcode 13+ when I create a release build. Had to waste my time on troubleshooting this issue. Finally I was able to fix the issue with following step.
I added a new entry for Release in Runpath Search Paths in Build Settings -> Linking.
/usr/lib/swift
After adding that, I could run my app without crashing!
Xcode 7.2, iOS 9.2 on one device, 9.0 on other. Both had the error. No idea what changed that caused it, but the solutions above for the WWDR were correct for me. Install that cert and problem solved.

There are lot's of answers there but might be my answer will help some one.
I am having same issue, My app works fine on Simulator but on Device got crashed as I Lunches app and gives error as above. I have tried all answers and solutions . In My Case , My Project I am having multiple targets .I have created duplicate target B from target A. Target B works fine while target A got crashed. I am using different Image assets for each target. After searching and doing google I have found something which might help to someone.
App stop crashing when I change name of Launch images assets for both apps . e.g Target A Launch Image asset name LaunchImage A . Target B Lunch Image asset name LaunchImage B and assigned properly in General Tab of each target . My Apps works fine.
For me building a MacOS command line Swift app that depended on 3rd party Swift libs (e.g. SQLite) none of the above solutions seemed to work. What did work was directly adding the following path to my Runpath Search Paths in the Build Settings:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents//Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift/macosx/
Doing that did give a warning at runtime saying that Xcode had found 2 versions of libswiftCore - which makes sense. Except that not including that line resulted in Xcode not finding any versions of libswiftCore.
Anyway, that'll do for me even if it doesn't seem right - my app is just a utility that I'm not intending to distribute and at least it runs now!
I have multiple version of Xcode installed at the same time. The framework was built with a newer version of Xcode. The app that I tried to compile was with an older version of Xcode. When I cleaned and compiled both the framework and the app with the same version of Xcode then things worked.

Try adding the following line to Runpath Search Paths of your target.
#executable_path/Frameworks
your_target -> Build Settings -> Linking -> Runpath Search Paths
I had this same issue. I ended up adding the framework in the following locations:
General > Embedded Binaries
General > Linked Frameworks and Libraries
Build Phases > Link Binaries with Libraries
The embedded binaries seemed to be the key for me.
For me helps adding #executable_path/Frameworks to the project Runpath Search Paths, not target.
your_project -> Build Settings -> Linking -> Runpath Search Paths
None of the other solutions helped me, but everything was fixed by deleting Xcode's Derived Data directory.
Oh yes. I've faced with that problem spending hours on solution.
You may try to set "Always Embed Swift Standard Libraries" to "Yes" under your Build Settings > Build Options
(don't forget to shift+cmd+K your project after)
I had to switch 'Embedded Content Contains Swift Code' to 'Yes' to get my Obj-C app to work after updating the Obj-C embedded framework with a Swift object.
In the Framework Target (not the app target), go to Build Settings > Build Options > Always Embed Standard Swift Libraries to YES.
This solved the issue for me!
I had this error in a command line project (Xcode 10.2 and macOS 10.14.3)
The solution was to update to macOS 10.14.4
Swift command line projects won’t run on macOS 10.14.3 and earlier unless you install the Swift 5 Runtime Support for Command Line Tools package. Without that package, Swift command line projects crash on launch with “dyld: Library not loaded” errors. (46824656)
From Swift 5 Release Notes for Xcode 10.2
In my case, This issue is coming in Objective-c project in which I am using a Swift framework (AirWatch SDK).
Solutions:
I have resolved this issue with Xcode 9.3 and 11.0.1 iOS as mentioned bellow steps :
Drag and drop your swift framework in your project and move in default Framework folder of your project.
Then add them as Embedded binaries as shown in screenshot.
Change your framework status from Required to Optional as shown in screenshot. (Build Phases > Link Binary with Library)
Set Always Embed Swift Standard Libraries to Yes in your build settings.
Set Subpath and select destination as Framework for your added framework in Build Phases> Embed frameworks
as shown in screenshot.
Hope it will help someone.
I have faced the same issue, setting the right code sign identity solved the problem(Build settings->Code Signing Identity).
As per Apple technical questions "All Enterprise and standard iOS developer certificates that are created after iOS 8 was released have the new Team ID field in the proper place to allow Swift language apps to run"
I fixed by deleting all from Xcode Derived Data directory:
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
Good luck all!
This error message can also occur when using a framework build in a different Swift version then the one currently being used, e.g. if you upgrade Xcode.
I had the same error message, that is how I solved it :
The issue came from the certificates generated automatically by Xcode. I had to revoke these certificates dans generate them back from developer.apple.com
The solution is then :
- Go to developer.apple.com / certificates --> Revoke certificates
OR go in Xcode > preferences > accounts > View details > select Sigining identities > clic setting whell > revoke
- Got to developper.apple.com and follow instructions to generate new certificates
- In Xcode in my project : go to Code Signing Identity and sign both Debug lines with the generated certificate
- Both release lines are set to "iOS Developer"
- Then project > clean
- Build and run on device
#Saikiran's answered worked.
My certificates were generated before iOS 8 was released. I revoked all my certificates and regenerated all provisioning profiles and it solved my problems immediately.
I don't have enough reputation to vote up #Saikiran's answer, but that definitely helped solving the problem.
For me has worked set the option
ALWAYS_EMBED_SWIFT_STANDARD_LIBRARIES
to YES in Project -> Build Settings -> Build Options
(Namirial framework through Cocoapods)
None of the above solutions worked for me. I changed the iPhone Developer Certificate trust settings in Keychain. It should be Always Trust. Change it to Use System Defaults. Double click the certificate in Keychain to open the option screen
Discovered that from this blog
I had the same error message, this is how I solved it :
This is happening because i changed bundle identifier, so i just put old bundle id and it started to work again
I already had the Runpath Search Paths set correctly, but it still didn't work. #Justin Domnitz's answer put me on the right track: Setting "Always Embed Swift Standard Libraries" to Yes in my target's build settings did the trick for me.
Seems this issue was caused by the inclusion of Swift file into objective-c custom framework. Also unsure if related but my app target was built in objective-c as well. Also building to simulator in debug. Haven't verified for release or archive build yet.
Additionally Runpath Search Settings for the project target were set to "#executable_path/Frameworks", within the target settings for the framework they were set to: "#executable_path/Frameworks" and "#loader_path/Frameworks".
After having tried rebuilding custom framework and reattaching to app target, clearing derived data folder and a couple other suggestions, what ultimately worked for me was changing the build setting within Project target for the custom framework project (not app target): "Always Embed Swift Standard Libraries" to "YES". It appeared not to matter what the setting for the app target was set to. I verified this by resetting the simulator and rebuilding. This is similar to Daniele Ceglia's answer but I wasn't able to add a comment and wanted to provide more clarity.
For me Cleaning the project solve the issue!
I got such issue, too
All other ways could not help me,
so I have done it on stupid way
created new project and pod install from scratch
and after confirmed it is working correctly, I copied all class files and storyboard files, at last done!
I think it is the last way for it, maybe could help you
I had a similar problem in an Objective-C project where I started to include Swift files.
In my case, I created two targets in the main project, and I added a Swift empty file, that creates a bridging header file and some configurations, but I only marked it as a member of one target. The first target works properly, but the second not, and I noticed that the differences in build settings were this setting:
Runpath Search Paths -> $(inherited) and #executable_path/Frameworks
And I also needed to reference Objective-C Bridging Header to the file that was created before:
Objective-C Bridging Header -> pathTo/Target-Bridging-Header.h
After adding this two settings, the second target started to work properly.
Try cleaning the build folder, I was having the same problem and I solved it this way:
Product -> Clean Build Folder
For Me restart simulator solved this problem.
I tried a bunch of the cases above and it didn't seem to solve my issue. I use git and cocoapods for a project, and the error went away as soon as I made a new commit.
I had this problem before in iPod touch iOS 9.3. And I used all the methods mentioned in this post, but none of them worked.
I checked my project setting. And in the other link flag, I found I added -Wl,-sectcreate,__RESTRICT,__restrict,/dev/null.
This flag prevents dyld insert in the jailbroken phone. When I delete this flag, the app can be launched again. I am not sure why it worked. Because in iPhone se iOS 10 I don't have to delete this line. But it did work in iPod touch iOS 9.3. So check it if you have the same situation like me.
Please check the *.framework If there is a _CodeSignature signature framework directory.
If there is no _CodeSignature folder,
Navigate to the Build Phases ,click + to add New Copy File Phase to create Copy Files.
after that, reference *.framework and choose Code Sign On Copy
