I'm using xctool (v0.1.16) for an iOS project, which is configured as follows:
a workspace
two targets Project and ProjectTests
two schemes Project and ProjectTests
I have a .xctool-args file with the workspace and Project scheme configured.
I run xctool build and xctool -scheme ProjectTests -sdk iphonesimulator test successfully.
However, I run xctool clean and the following happens:
1st it runs xcodebuild clean Project successfully
2nd it runs xcodebuild build clean which fails with the error:
Scheme Tests is not currently configured for the clean action.
It is strange because I don't have a Tests scheme at all.
I run xctool clean -showTasks and have more details about the error. It runs and fails at
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild \
-configuration Debug \
-workspace /var/folders/b7/472b_skj24gf7wmw6c3krp5c0000gn/T/xctool_temp_KMbH0e/Tests.xcworkspace \

-IDECustomDerivedDataLocation=/var/folders/b7/472b_skj24gf7wmw6c3krp5c0000gn/T/xctool_temp_KMbH0e/DerivedData \
clean
However, the same command executed separately finishes successfully.
The workspace at /var/folders/b7/472b_skj24gf7wmw6c3krp5c0000gn/T/xctool_temp_KMbH0e/Tests.xcworkspace simply references two projects, the Project xcodeproj and Pods xcodeproj. It does contain a Tests scheme with a build action.
Why does this command fail in the 1st place? Any help is appreciated.
Cheers.
I fixed this issue by checking the "shared" box for the main scheme:
Choose Product > Scheme > Manage Schemes.
Select the Shared option for the scheme to share, and click OK.

I fixed it by
Unchecking auto create schemes in XCode scheme management
Removing and recreating the scheme(s) I wanted to build (in your case Project and ProjectTests)
I ran into this issue in xCode 7. I fixed this issue by doing the following:
- Choose Product > Scheme > Manage Schemes.
- Select the "Shared" option for the scheme, and click OK

This is my .travis.yml file
language: objective-c
osx_image: xcode7.2
script:
xctool -project ProjectName.xcodeproj -scheme ProjectName build -sdk iphonesimulator
While Travis is running I've got this error:
$ xctool -project ProjectName.xcodeproj -scheme ProjectName build -sdk iphonesimulator
ERROR: Cannot find schemes. Please consider creating shared schemes in Xcode.
TIP: This might happen if you're relying on Xcode to autocreate your schemes
and your scheme files don't yet exist. xctool, like xcodebuild, isn't able to
automatically create schemes. We recommend disabling "Autocreate schemes"
in your workspace/project, making sure your existing schemes are marked as
"Shared", and making sure they're checked into source control.
This problem is easy to solve:
Go to your project scheme and click Manage Schemes...
Tick Shared for your scheme
Click Close, commit and push.
Problem Solved. Now Travis is working without problems.
I also wrote a post in my blog about Travis-CI.
In addition to the answer by Gabriel.Massana, make sure the files are checked into version control (SVN/GIT).
Let's say I do the following:
Open Xcode 7
File | New | Project | Cocoa Touch Framework
Create "TestFramework" with the Swift language
Create a file Hello.swift with public func hello() { print("Hello") }.
From here, I can build a debug build of the framework (inside the Debug-iphoneos folder), but I cannot figure out how to build the release version of the framework (inside Release-iphoneos). I thought Archive might do it, but it doesn't. Pointers please?
To get a release build, you need to change your scheme settings:
Alternatively, create a new scheme for release builds.
Ensure you have a device selected. Not the simulator.
Build your project and you should see that it gets added to this location:
(Click the arrow to navigate there in finder)
And after drilling down, you should be able to find the release folder with your release framework inside.
This works for me:
Select your framework target then click Product -> Archive. If organizer window does not pop up after successful build of your framework then go to "Build Settings" of your framework target, look for the option "Skip Install" and change it to "No" (and after that Archive again).
An alternative to building a framework via the Xcode IDE is to build it from the command line.
You can produce a release build of your framework for iphoneos devices with the following command:
xcodebuild -workspace TestSDK.xcworkspace -scheme TestSDK -configuration Release -sdk iphoneos
You can change the value of the -configuration argument from Release to Debug in order to produce a debug build, or change the value of the -sdk argument from iphoneos to iphonesimulator in order to produce a build for Simulator devices.
Note that you may need to provide the -project argument instead of -workspace if your target is part of an Xcode project only and not part of an Xcode workspace. Run the xcodebuild -help command for the full list of xcodebuild options.
If you prefer to archive, you can do that from the command line also, as follows:
xcodebuild archive -workspace TestSDK.xcworkspace -scheme TestSDK -configuration Release -sdk iphoneos -archivePath "TestSDK_Release_iphoneos.xcarchive" SKIP_INSTALL=NO
Note that you can specify SKIP_INSTALL=NO as part of your project or target's Build Settings instead if you prefer.
Lastly, if you want to join up your iphoneos and iphonesimulator builds into a single binary, you can do that with the xcodebuild -create-xcframework command as follows:
xcodebuild -create-xcframework \
-framework "TestSDK_Release_iphoneos.xcarchive/Products/Library/Frameworks/TestSDK.framework" \
-framework "TestSDK_Release_iphonesimulator.xcarchive/Products/Library/Frameworks/TestSDK.framework" \
-output "TestSDK.xcframework"
See here for the official guide to creating an XCFramework.
When you add the framework to your other Xcode project then you have to add "$(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)" to Build Settings -> Framework Search Paths.
This will create Debug when you run project (with Debug) and will create Release version when you archive project.
The archive doesn't will create Release version under Products dir but will create Release in "Intermediates.noindex" folder.
I'm trying to create a simulator app to submit to Facebook for review. I've followed their instructions to the letter, but keep running into problems. I am using CocoaPods and have a workspace instead of a plain old project. Here's the command I'm running:
xcodebuild -arch i386 -sdk iphonesimulator8.1 -workspace [APP].xcworkspace -scheme [APP]
I get a ** BUILD SUCCEEDED ** message, but either one of two things will happen:
No build folder is created, and I can't find where the .App file is.
A .App is created in a build folder, but is 0 bytes in size and crashes when running with ios-sim.
I read that changing the Run scheme to 'Release' might fix it, but that didn't do anything. Any ideas?
So, I had the same problem and solved it by doing the following:
I made my app as release build instead of debug in xcode: Product->Scheme->Edit Scheme and then Build Configuration set to Release.
After doing this I then went back to the command line and added a destination for the build:
xcodebuild -arch i386 -sdk iphonesimulator8.1 -workspace [APP].xcworkspace -scheme [APP] -derivedDataPath /path/to/build
If you are still having problems make sure you clean and build all of your targets (pods included) and try the above steps again.
Hope this works; it did for me.
I have an Xcode project that contains several sub-projects (framework projects that compile as lib files) as part of the main project. The project compiles/builds properly in Xcode (builds the sub-projects correctly from the bottom of the hyarchial tree up to the main app project).
I am now trying to set up the project for Continuous Integration, and when I attempt to build from the command line using xcodebuild... the build fails due to not finding the .a files that should have been built before the main project.
I can build each of the lib files from the cmd line independently, but the entire consolidated project fails. Even though I have the dependancies correctly managed in the target scheme and if I specify the target or scheme when I use xcodebuild, it still will not build the sub-projects.
Is there a way to make xcodebuild build the sub-projects and then the main project as it does in the Xcode IDE? If not, would this work if I converted the entire project into a workspace?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am running Xcode 5.1.1 on Mavericks.
The solution was a simple one... using the "-scheme" flag instead of "-target" allowed the project to build correctly (all sub-projects/frameworks and then target App)
FAILED:
xcodebuild -project MyProject.xcodeproj -target MyProject -sdk "iphoneos" -configuration “Build” archive OBJROOT=../../build_iOS/Obj.root SYMROOT=../../build_iOS/Sym.root
BUILT AS EXPECTED:
xcodebuild -project MyProject.xcodeproj -scheme MyProject -sdk "iphoneos" -configuration “Build” archive OBJROOT=../../build_iOS/Obj.root SYMROOT=../../build_iOS/Sym.root
There was no need to convert the project to a workspace.
You need to use a workspace to build multiple projects. Also, since you are moving to a CI server, be sure to share your schemes.
I am trying to build/run my iOS app from command line. To build the app, the command which I give in shell script is as follows:
PROJECT_DIR="/Users/ingenyous/Desktop/splistV11_test_sh_build/code/app/ios"
TARGET_NAME="splistapp2"
TARGET_SDK="iphoneos5.1"
PROJECT_BUILD_DIR="${PROJECT_DIR}/build/Release-iphoneos"
OUTPUT_DIR="/Users/ingenyous/Desktop/ipa"
# compile project
echo Building Project
cd "${PROJECT_DIR}"
xcodebuild -target "${TARGET_NAME}" -sdk "${TARGET_SDK}" -configuration Release
Here I specify the target name and other parameters. Is it possible to give the target properties like product name and other options in this script itself, which can overwrite the properties given actually in the editor target. or be able to create the target itself from shell script and not needing to create targets from Xcode editor.
You can certainly set the product name using xcodebuild:
xcodebuild -target "${TARGET_NAME}" -configuration Release build PRODUCT_NAME=MyProduct
There can be issues with multiple targets, see this existing SO question
You can set any build setting in this way. A full list of build settings is available on Apple's developer site, and you can also check out the man for xcodebuild.
