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

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/AppName.app/Frameworks/libswiftCore.dylib: mmap() error 1 at

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:
[....] [deny-mmap] mapped file has no team identifier and is not a platform binary:

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.

An empty identity is not valid when signing a binary for the product type 'Application' in xcode version 10.2

I have compile webrtc ios source code ,then I used the command:
gn gen out/ios --args='target_os="ios" target_cpu="arm64"' --ide=xcode
then I open the workspace with Xcode.
but when I compile the code, Xcode gives me this error below.
An empty identity is not valid when signing a binary for the product type 'Application'. (in target 'AppRTCMobile')
my Xcode version is 10.2, the latest version.
I really don't know how did this happen,can anyone can help me?
my code sign setting is:
everything looks ok.
I added CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO as an additional parameter and that fixed this issue for me.
I needed to to turn OFF Automatic manage signing and turn it ON afterwards. It seems like Xcode did fix some inconsistency by that action.
I saw this error in Xcode 12.2b when building to run on a device, but I had not set signing to Automatic, or selected profiles, etc.
Basically I was running and testing on the simulator, then plugged in a device for testing and forgot to change any signing settings.
Perhaps this error is new to Xcode 12.x for that scenario.
If you're using CocoaPods check your project.pbxproj for (null) references, there's an issue that make BuildFile references to become (null)
Even if you have the identity correctly defined it may be "empty" because of this issue
Try, as suggested:
pod deintegrate
pod install
This error can occur when an Xcode project is generated (rather than built from within xcode), and the generated output project is unexpectedly in release mode.
I was working on a Godot project and got the above error which led me to this post. The error is not WebRTC or Godot specific.
If you only want to debug the project for now on a device, and don't need release builds yet, switch to a debug scheme using the scheme switcher (1)
If the generator didn't create a debug scheme, (which is the case for me for my issue) you can add one via New Scheme (2)
At first I could not work out why it was complaining about "empty identity" (this refers to the Team drop down) when as per the screen shot I had this value set. I had the project view filter settings on Debug (as per the screenshot (3) so the Release settings (where Team was set to "None") were not showing up. Change this to All to see if that is where the None in the error is coming from for you.
Debug builds only require a basic signing setup. If you still have issues with Release builds when it comes time for that, you may need to clear out certificates & provisioning profiles from your Derived Data, Apple Developer portal and Keychain.
Release build certificates are hard to manage & replace so be careful with randomly generating & deleting them.
The problem has been fixed, it's my mistake.
Select the target, then choose info.plist and select the one for your project.

dyld`__abort_with_payload: Without an error message

When I start my app with Xcode, I have a crash, but without an error.
The app is just stopping on this thread:
What can I do to have more information about the issue?
If you are using custom frameworks, you need to put it inside the "Embedded Binaries" section located in the Xcode project under the tab Target / General.
For me a simple Clean and Rebuild sorted it out.
This problem appeared after a system update up to macOS 10.15.2 beta (Catalina). Disabling "Thread Sanitizer" solved the issue (Xcode 11.2). Now I can't use Thread Sanitizer and have to wait for the next OS update.
Adding the framework to the embedded binary asset list fixed this. Here is what the setup of a foreign framework looks like in final form in the Xcode GUI as an Embedded Framework (Xcode 9.2, personally I like a visual breadcrumb trail better ;-) ):
Did Apple intentionally crash the runtime to somehow tell the developer about the problem that you cannot use non-Apple frameworks as simply linked frameworks in iOS development? It would be better to have it come up as a build error I would think... with a button that said "move it!"
The use of Embedded Binaries keeps the end user from having to add the Framework independently of your app (or have you do with an installer). In the case of the iPhone (iOS), that is impossible, but on macOS, it is possible, but it can get messy fast.
For the end user, it is much nicer to simply drag and drop an app to install it on macOS, which is where embedded becomes a benefit. Embedding also avoids the classic "DLL conflicts" of having external versions of your framework to manage. (Disk space is cheap, but my customer's time is precious.)
I fixed the error in my project just now!
If you are using the Swift framework in an Objective-C project, I advice you to change the build settings.
Set the Always Set Embed the Swift Standard Libraries option to Yes. Like this:
It was finally solved!
Making the framework "optional" instead of "required" worked for me.
To answer the original question "What can I do to have more informations about the issue?", this Apple forum thread provides a very simple tip: simply run your crashing app outside Xcode (i.e., stop it from Xcode, then run it manually on your device).
This will produce a crash log containing more details about what happened. You can then review this log from the Xcode Window menu → Devices and Simulators → View Device Logs.
In Xcode 11.1, turn off Do not Embed in Embed & Sign is a nice option.
Credit: mkonovalov's answer and William Cerniuk's answer
Unchecking "Guard Malloc" in diagnostics worked for me.
Continue the execution to see if any message shows up in debugger such as "MyFramework.framework" not found. If that is the case, follow this question: OS X Framework Library not loaded: 'Image not found'
For me Amos Joshua's answer worked.
Make sure you have added your binaries through "Embed Binaries" section.
Make sure you have enabled signing of frameworks in build phase section.
Make sure the embedded frameworks are not symlinks.
You can make the linked frameworks optional instead of required in "Link binary with libraries" phase. This will tell iOS to not look for these frameworks during launch. But anyway you need to fix the errors to use those frameworks!
Check if all the info.plist entries are good. In my case, I was using a Mac info.plist file for iOS. It was looking for some xib file which was not present in the iOS project.
Do a clean and build after any such change. This is required because Xcode does not copy/change these files if they already exist.
Remove the app from iPad and then install. Same reason as 7.
I had just missed applying the "Privacy - Camera Usage Description" in the info.plist file.
I faced the same issue with Xcode 11.3 and macOS v10.15.2 (Catalina) . The app was running well on the device, but not in the simulator. It seems there is an issue with the simulator and the workaround is to disable Thread Sanitizer.
Refer to Xcode 11.3 simulator SIGABRT on launch.
I encountered an error with the same signature (my project was in Objective-C) and discovered I had forgotten to link with the appropriate framework. The error message in the debug log that led to finding the error was:
dyld: Symbol not found: OBJC_CLASS$_SFSafariViewController
For my specific error, adding SafariServices.framework in the Targets → Build Phases → "Link Binary With Libraries" resolved the issue. While you probably don't have the same specific error and resolution, checking the debug log for clues is useful.
Sometimes it happens when you use system frameworks that are accessible only from a later iOS version than your target version. It might be fixed by marking this linked framework as optional.
For example, a project targeted on iOS 11 and being using AuthenticationServices for the iOS 12 AutoFill feature will crash on iOS 11 in the described way.
I had a similar issue that was resolved by a missing permission specification in plist (as weird as it is...).
I've tried to use AVCaptureDevice and it just crashed at starting (my app was very minimal).
Adding Privacy - Camera Usage Description to the info.plist file solved it for me.
I've had this situation after updating Xcode to v10.2.1 and Swift to v5.0.
If you are using Carthage + RxSwift, the new RxSwift uses RxRelay.framework. You should go to your /Carthage/Build directory find that framework and drag it to your project. Don't forget also add it to your carthage copy-frameworks script:
$(SRCROOT)/Carthage/Build/iOS/RxRelay.framework
It was resolved thanks to fred's answer.
I had this issue and didn't have success with the answers.
I was using a custom framework that would connect with Bluetooth devices. So the crash was happening because I had missed applying the "Privacy - Bluetooth Always Usage Description" in the info.plist file.
Check all your permissions fields are set up in the p-list file.
I was facing the same issue. Setting 'Always Embed Swift Standard Libraries' to Yes in Build Settings of my target worked for me.
If you use the Carthage build framework, after dragging the framework to your project, you should add it to General/Embedded Binaries.
I found the right way to resolve it.
Make sure the AppleWWDRCA.cer is set to the system default mode, and then it will work:
If you're using a framework written in Swift in an Objective-C application, you need to include the Swift toolchain in the app that consumes the framework.
The way I've found to do this is to create a dummy Swift file in the app, so that Xcode recognizes Swift and appropriately adds it to the project. You can then delete the dummy file.
Also if you are using custom frameworks, make sure you set the Mach-O type to static library. I read somewhere that iOS doesn't allow dylib. Anyway, this worked for me.
To add to the long list of encounters with this error, it occurs when I am on Xcode 12.2 Beta 2 deploying to my Mac running macOS v10.15.5 (Catalina) with the deployment target set to macOS v11.0 (Big Sur).
This situation happened because I was trying out the Mac Catalyst Tutorial app on adding a SideBar. Switching the target to macOS v10.15.5 eliminated the error and launched the app properly.
I faced this issue on iOS 14.5 when playing/implementing ATT (App Tracking Transparency) and have yet to add a usage description in file info.plist on why user tracking is needed.
The app crashes whenever the settings "Allow Apps to Request to Track" was enabled (when disabled, everything worked well).
The crash in Xcode provided no clues, except
libsystem_kernel.dylib`__abort_with_payload: (SIGABRT)
CoreSimulator 757.5 - Device: iPhone 11 (29AD27B2-6EC0-4B9C-8C8C-C5450695A19C) - Runtime: iOS 14.5 (18E182) - DeviceType: iPhone 11
Using the answer from fred's answer and getting the crash log from the actual device yielded this clue which was extremely helpful.
Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000

Termination Reason: TCC, This app has crashed because it attempted to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSUserTrackingUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.
Triggered by Thread: 1
I fixed it by changing "Embed & Sign" to "Embed without Signing" under General > Frameworks, Libraries and Embedded Content.
I didn't think this applied to me because I wasn't using the camera, but it did.
Many answers reference adding a Usage Description to Info.plist. I didn't know there are many more cases where a usage description is necessary (besides just the camera), see this link.
The link lists these services as needing a usage description or will cause this error:
Calendar, Contact, Reminder, Photo, Bluetooth Sharing, Microphone, Camera, Location, Heath, HomeKit, Media Library, Motion, CallKit, Speech Recognition, SiriKit, and TV Provider.
Add an entry to Info.plist, start typing "Privacy" as the key, and you will see all the available options pop up.
I've just had the same issue and the reason why was due to the fact that I've revoked my Developer Certificates and created new ones with Xcode 10, after a fresh macOS v10.14 (Mojave) update (for some reason, it deleted all login credentials and outdated some keychain certificates).
So, all I had to do was to remove the installed apps from my device and run them through Xcode again, in order for it to install the right new Provisioning Profile in my device :)
Actually, I had the issue with Xcode 11.3.1 and Thread Sanitizer was already turned off as mentioned in previous answers.
In my case, the issue was I used to have different Xcode versions in my Application folder like this:
/Applications/xcode11.3.1/Xcode.app
/Applications/xcode11.3/Xcode.app
/Applications/xcode10.1/Xcode.app
and
/Applications/Xcode.app - was 11.2
The build system looks on the /Applications/Xcode.app file by default. So bringing Xcode 11.3.1 to the /Applications/Xcode.app finally resolve the problem.
The same issue happened with me. I had iOS 14 Beta and the problem was fixed when I updated it to the official version.
I have fixed my error in my project.
I checked the other threads when the error happened. I found my error is about the camera.
Add the Camera privacy in the Info.plist file.
Open the info.plist file.
Add a new key called "Privacy - Camera Usage Description" and enter a string that describes why the app need camera. The describes will display when your app need to use the privacy.

How to debug "Invalid Bundle" error which happens only after submitting to app store

I have a lot of frameworks in my app. App works fine in adhoc/enterprise release. Only if I submit to the app store for testflight testing I get this error email from apple:
Dear developer,
We have discovered one or more issues with your recent delivery for "My app's name here". To process your delivery, the following
issues must be corrected:
Invalid Bundle - One or more dynamic libraries that are referenced by your app are not present in the dylib search path.
Once these issues have been corrected, you can then redeliver the corrected binary.
Regards,
The App Store team
there is no specific information here. How can I debug it?
Got an answer from Apple Developer Technical Support which says it is a bug on Apple's side. this is the suggested workaround below which did not work for me:
To diagnose this issue, you should export the IPA you are sending to
the App Store from Xcode. Since IPAs are zip files, you can
decompress it by right clicking and saying Open With > Archive
Utility. You should find your main executable inside the unzipped
folder structure and run otool at the command line to see the library
list: otool -L
The list of paths you get should match what you find inside of your
IPA. All of your libraries should start with #rpath. A simple
comparison of everything in this list with the unzipped IPA folders
should reveal what is missing.
Once you know what is missing, go to your Xcode build phases setup.
There should be a build phase for either Copy Files or Embed
Frameworks that includes the missing library — you should just add the
library to the list. If you don’t see either of these build phases,
you can recreate it by adding a new Copy Files build phase, setting
the Destination to Frameworks, and adding the library to the list,
ensuring that Code Sign On Copy is checked.
If you don’t find anything missing in your main binary, make sure to
do the same search on any other binaries you may have, like for a
watchOS app or an iOS app extension.
If you find that all of the frameworks are in this build phase, please
take a look at the Embedded Binaries section of your app target’s
General page, and let me know if you see multiple levels of ../ next
to the binary that you found is missing.
Please let me know if it works for you!
I have encountered the same issue when uploading an app with watch support to the app store.
I was able to solve it with the hint from the first answer, using otool -L to analyze the binary from the ipa or xcarchive.
However, the problem was not with my frameworks (at #rpath) but with a swift lib. I noticed that libswiftWatchKit.dylib was missing in the frameworks folder.
The solution that worked for me was as simple as to set EMBEDDED_CONTENT_CONTAINS_SWIFT=YES in the build settings of the watch app (or the watch app extension, but not both). After that, all necessary swift libraries were correctly copied to the watch app path in the archive and upload to app store was working correctly.
Apparently, the watch app works and upload passes if you provide the necessary swift libraries only in the main app's folder.
After adding the custom Swift framework to my project I got this email after uploading the app to iTunes connect.
I got this email from iTunes store,
Invalid Bundle - One or more dynamic libraries that are referenced by your app are not present in the dylib search path.
The fix is simple for this issue,
Step 1: Make sure your Custom framework is added to Embedded Binaries in General tab of your target.
Step 2: Under build settings,
Set Always Embed Swift Standard Libraries = Yes for your main project target.
And Set Always Embed Swift Standard Libraries = No for your custom framework target.
This solved my problem and I was able to upload binary to iTunes connect.
Ref
Tried all the above solutions and did not work for me.
I was experiencing this issue in Xcode 10.1 recently and all my frameworks were referenced correctly (did otool -L and everything lined up).
Seems there were some changes in the apple validation process, may be a bug, may not be on Apple's end, but all my prior builds uploaded and validated fine -- and I did not add any new frameworks since.
Upon uploading the binary to iTunesConnect, I'd see the following error:
Invalid Bundle - One or more dynamic libraries that are referenced by
your app are not present in the dylib search path.
Invalid Bundle - The app uses Swift, but one of the binaries could not
link to it because it wasn't found. Check that the app bundles
correctly embed Swift standard libraries using the "Always Embed Swift
Standard Libraries" build setting, and that each binary which uses
Swift has correct search paths to the embedded Swift standard
libraries using the "Runpath Search Paths" build setting.
MY SOLUTION:
After days of debugging, what worked for me was to disable 'Include bitcode for iOS content' upon uploading the archive from Xcode organizer. Seems that this option modifies the binary which caused the validator to fail.
Or you can disable bitcode in your Build Settings
My Problem:
I had the same error with embedded frameworks.
The App project has Custom Framework project
Inside the Custom Framework project is another Custom Framework project
The app built to the simulator and to devices with no problem but failed the Apple test, returning "Invalid Bundle".
I inspected the package just like Taha had been told to by Tech Support and everything was present and correct!
My Solution:
I restructured the project so that the two custom frameworks sit side by side and one is no longer embedded within the other.
This looks to be an Apple validation problem since everything works fine on devices and the simulator but the work around was straight forward.
In my case, in the build settings, this was fixed when I added the following to the build settings for the library:
DYLIB_INSTALL_NAME_BASE = #rpath
The clue was a linker warning: 'YourLibrary has an install name beginning with “/”, but it is not from the specified SDK'
Had same issue. This happened to me because one of my Framework target was added to main target in "Link Binary With Libraries" but was not added to "Target Dependencies" and "Embedded Binaries"
I also received a similar mail from Apple:
Dear Developer,
We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app,
"********. Please correct the following issues, then
upload again.
ITMS-90562: Invalid Bundle - One or more dynamic libraries that are
referenced by your app are not present in the dylib search path.
Best regards,
The App Store Team
I used my own framework for my watch app. I solved this issue by changing the framework option to "Embed Without Signing" in the Extension Target. The default option was "Do Not Embed".
I had the same problem, it was due to one framework not being present in the Frameworks subfolder in the app bundle.
I fixed it by adding a Copy Fields build phase, and adding the missing .framework file there.
This error message is also addressed in Apple Technical Note TN2435
Embedding Frameworks In An App: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2435/_index.html
You can find the error message under the heading "Missing Framework Bundle" with troubleshooting steps.
We had the same problem, and even after going through all the steps (see "Missing Framework Bundle"), the only thing that worked was disabling Bitcode.
So I struggled on this for two days. What it turned out to be was I had UITests checked in Archive for the Build for the Scheme I was archiving.
After unchecking it from Archive, re-archiving it, validating it (although validating it before always passed), and "Upload to AppStore" I did not get the e-mail from Apple informing me of Invalid Swift Support. Instead I got the e-mail that it'd been processed and is good to go!
In my case, I've had to add a framework from Notification App Extension to the main target (embed & sign in the main target, do not embed in the extension) - even though there was no mention about it in otool -L output.
Funny thing that Iterable official doc says that the framework should be embedded & signed in the extension - which would lead to another upload problem because of nested bundles.

Xcode 6.01 Archive validation error: Invalid Segment Alignment

I have been working on an iOS project solely in Xcode. Deployment target is iOS 8.0. After updating to Xcode 6.x, building and testing on my iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 as well as the simulators works fine. However, when I create an archive and want to validate it, I get the following error:
Archive validation failed due to the issues listed below.
iTunes Store operation failed.
Invalid Segment Alignment. This app does not have proper segment alignment and should be rebuilt with the latest version of Xcode. Please contact Developer Technical Support if you need further assistance.
I have googled for the past couple of days and it seems that this problem mostly occurs in connection with other development tools, especially from Adobe. However, I have only used Xcode for development.
This is what I have tried so far:
Reinstalling Xcode 6.01
Turning Autolayout on and off
Set target from 8.0 to 7.1
Just submit the archive (no error message, but new version is not found in Testflight)
Unfortunately, none of this has worked. My questions:
What does the error message want to tell me?
Has anyone any idea how to solve this problem?
Thanks a lot!
I found the solution. XCode seems to have lost track of two of my files (XX.h and XX.c) This file name (with a .o extension) was in the summary of the 1st step of the validation.
I removed the references to both files, added them again and everything works fine. Hope that helps someone!
(Edit: sorry, cannot flag this answer as the right answer, will do so in two days when stackoverflow lets me)
More detailed instructions:
When pressing "Validate" in the Organizer, look at the "Summary" dialog that pops up
If there are any .o files listed in addition to your app, go back to Xcode and remove the corresponding .h AND .m files from your project (removing the reference is sufficient)
Re-add them by dragging and dropping them back into your project
Recompile and it should work (assuming you're not using Adobe Air components in your app)
(thanks a million for this post Fynh, your fix made it finally work for me!)
In my case I was submitting an app that include a framework I had built that was a universal framework - created using lipo (for use with both device and simulator).
After replacing the universal compiled framework with device compiled framework, validation was successful.
To fix this bug I had to go Targets / Build Phases / Expand Copy Bundle Resources and remove the empty.cpp file (my error was about a empty.o file)
Hope this helps someone

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

I am running my app from xcode to my iOS device and I get this and black screen on iOS device.
Console text:
dyld: Library not loaded: #rpath/libswiftCore.dylib

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
