Swift compiler Error "failed with exit code 254" - uiview

When I update Xcode 6 from Beta 4 to the Beta 6, I have this (new) compiler error and I don't know how to fix it.
<unknown>:0: error: unable to execute command: Segmentation fault: 11
<unknown>:0: error: swift frontend command failed due to signal (use -v to see invocation)
Command /Applications/Xcode6-Beta6.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/swiftc failed with exit code 254
The concerned lines are these
let reuseId = "test"
var anView = mapView.dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier(reuseId)
if anView == nil{...}
Thanks.

I'm having a similar issue when archiving in beta 6 & 7. I finally tracked it down to something to do with the Swift Compiler - Code Generation - Optimization Level - Fastest[-O]. If set the optimization level to none everything works fine, but when set to anything else xcode throws a 254 error.

I'd love to simply write this as a comment to your question, but I'm lacking reputation to do so.
I have a similar problem, and I have tracked it down to CoreLocation in combination with MapKit (from your other questions, I think you are building a location based app as well) by basically copying and pasting my old project line by line into a new one.
Once I use CoreLocation and MapKit combined (in two different controllers), this error comes up.
import UIKit
import CoreLocation
class ViewController: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
}
and
import UIKit
import MapKit
class SecondViewController: UIViewController, MKMapViewDelegate {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
}
with both MapKit and CoreLocation added, I get
<unknown>:0: error: unable to execute command: Segmentation fault: 11
<unknown>:0: error: merge-module command failed due to signal (use -v to see invocation)
Command /Applications/Xcode6-Beta6.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/swiftc failed with exit code 254
or
Use of undeclared type 'CLLocationManagerDelegate'
depending on if I also add MapKit to ViewController (without adding MKMapViewDelegate). I also makes a difference if I add MKMapViewDelegate to SecondViewController before adding an import MapKit statement to ViewController - just so you have an idea of how weird this behavior is.
I know, it's a long shot, but maybe you can gain some insight here.
EDIT: And oh - I'm quite sure this is simply an Xcode bug. They call it beta for a reason.

The bug was solved in Beta 7 available online today.

Use of undeclared type 'XCTestCaseEntry'

Hi I can't seem to figure out why I am Use of undeclared type 'XCTestCaseEntry'
when using the following code in my .xctest:
import XCTest
#if !os(macOS)
public func allTests() -> [XCTestCaseEntry] {
return [
testCase(TrakkproTests.allTests),
]
}
#endif
I just ran into the same issue while attempting to run unit tests for a custom framework I've built using the Swift Package Manager.
It turned out I had accidentally selected an iOS simulator in the Xcode scheme/device selector:
This compiled the code for iOS which satisfies the compilation condition of !os(macOS) and causes the error to occur. XCTestCaseEntry appears to be part of the swift-corelibs-xctest project which provides XCTest functionality to non-Apple platforms (i.e. linux) but is not the same implementation Apple uses... I think.
The solution for me was to select "My Mac" in the scheme/device selector:
looks like the typealias XCTestCaseEntry is added as part of the commit https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-xctest/commit/1c7fb283231ce53960a232aa7c771bb2d38dee62 on oct 2017.
I don't think the XCTestCase class as part of the XCode/XCTest has this change yet. Where are you checking this anyway ?

Importing AVFoundation and using AudioQueueOutputCallback or AudioQueueInputCallback crashes source editor

I have a weird problem - it might be something in my code, but I don't think so. So if anyone has faced this before could shed some light, or can try to reproduce it on their machine and share the results, I'd appreciate it.
Xcode used: V. 7.3.
When using AudioQueue within AVFoundation, using AudioQueueOutputCallback or AudioQueueInputCallback repeatedly crashes the source editor with error "An internal error occurred. Source editor functionality is limited. Attempting to restore..." - to no avail. The Issue Navigator (as seen in the screenshot attached), displays "Command failed due to signal: Segmentation fault: 11".
With the presence of "import AVFoundation" at the top of the file, using a snippet such as the one below, produces the problem I mentioned:
var outputCallback: AudioQueueOutputCallback = {
(inUserData, outQA, outBuffer) in
...
}
Please do note using a similar pattern with other closures is just fine. The problem seems to be specific to AVFoundation and creating closures of type AudioQueueOutputCallback or AudioQueueInputCallback.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new project (or file).
2. import AVFoundation
3. Write the following snippet within the class:
var outputCallback: AudioQueueOutputCallback = {
(inUserData, outQA, outBuffer) in
return
}
Expected Results:
No error. Being able to use the closure handler "outputCallback".
Actual Results:
Xcode source editor crashes repeatedly with error "An internal error occurred. Source editor functionality is limited. Attempting to restore..." - to no avail. The Issue Navigator (as seen in the screenshot attached), displays "Command failed due to signal: Segmentation fault: 11".
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Swift: Error when trying to import UIKit

I'm getting this really weird error when trying to import UIKit in my swift file.
My Code is simply:
import UIKit
class Test: NSObject {
}
The error I get at 'import UIKit' is:
Unknown type name 'import'
Expected ';' after top level declarator
I have added UIKit to my Frameworks folder, the class doesn't contain any code (so therefore there shouldn't be anything wrong with it) and I tried to restart both xCode and my Mac, but the error is still there.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks.
EDIT:
Solved:
I tried to import 'Test.swift' in AppDelegate.
This problem usually happens when you try to import ".swift" file in your Objective-C code, like this: #import "HomeViewController.swift". This is wrong and you should import special, automatically generated Swift header, instead:
#import "ProductModuleName-Swift.h"
where ProductModuleName is the name of your module (or project) containing the Swift code.
Found good Trouble shooting guide - there is great Troubleshooting Tips and Reminders section!
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Swift/Conceptual/BuildingCocoaApps/MixandMatch.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40014216-CH10-XID_87
The import stuff in swift is case sensitive. Example :
import uikit
will not work. You'll have to type it as
import UIKit
In my case, it was because somehow the selected type in the file inspector was objective-c source instead of Default - Swift Source even though i was using a .swift file.
Changing it to Default - Swift Source solved the issue for me.

Using 'po' command in Xcode 6 beta 5 Debug Selected Views

I am using the "Debug Selected Views" feature in Xcode 6 beta 5, I set a breakpoint within my prepareForInterfaceBuilder() function.
But when I try to use the po command, it gives me an error:
(lldb) po almondImage
error: Error in auto-import:
Failed to load linked library swiftQuartzCore of module TrailMixKit - errors:
Looking for "#rpath/libswiftQuartzCore.dylib", error: not a string object
Here are the first few lines of my file (including imports):
//
// TrailMixIngredientImageView.swift
// Trailmix
import UIKit
import QuartzCore
If I set a breakpoint while running the app in the simulator, the po command works without error.
Can't add comment but did you add the framework for QuartzCore?

unable to execute command: Segmentation fault: 11 swift frontend command failed due to signal (use -v to see invocation)

I have an iOS swift program that compiles and runs fine on Xcode Beta2. When I downloaded beta4, I got a few syntax errors for the new swift language which I corrected. I now get this error:
<unknown>:0: error: unable to execute command: Segmentation fault: 11
<unknown>:0: error: swift frontend command failed due to signal (use -v to see invocation)
The problem is that it does not tell me where this error is so that I can further troubleshoot it. Where can I type -v in order to "see the invocation" and troubleshoot further? Without this, there is absolute no way to figure out the problem. Thanks in advance.
Here's how I was able to find out what the problem was:
Click on the issue in the issue navigator (⌘ + 4, then click on the line with the red ! at the start)
At the bottom of the file that appears, there should be a line that says something like:
1. While emitting IR SIL function #_TToZFC4Down8Resource12getInstancesfMS0_U__FTSS6paramsGVSs10DictionarySSPSs9AnyObject__9onSuccessGSqFGSaQ__T__7onErrorGSqFT5errorCSo7NSError8responseGSqCSo17NSHTTPURLResponse__T___T_ for 'getInstances' at /path/to/file.swift:112:5
The location where your error occurred is at the end of that line. (In this case, on line 112 of file.swift in getInstances).
I was trying to add the PayPal framework to my iOS Project (Xcode 7.2 and Objective C language). When building it did not throw any error, but when I tried to archive the Project and make the IPA, I was getting that error
unable to execute command: Segmentation fault: 11
Screenshot:
After struggling for a long time, I disabled the Bitcode in Project's Target > Build Settings > Enable Bitcode. Now the project can be archived. Please check the following screenshot.
Can't really give a straight solution on this (although I'm sure it's an Apple bug), but I just came across the exact same error message and happen to solve it. Here's what I did:
In General
Comment out recently changed Swift code (check commits) until the app compiles again
Command-click each called method in the failing line and check if there could be an ambiguity
My Example
In my case (I was using the XMPPFramework written in Objective-C) the failing code looked like this:
for roomMessage: XMPPRoomMessage in self.messages {
let slices = split(roomMessage.nickname(), { $0 == "_" }, allowEmptySlices: false)
}
Once I replaced roomMessage.nickname() with "0_test" the code didn't fail any more. So I command-clicked the method nickname() (twice) and here's what I saw:
My guess was that the Swift 1.1 compiler has problems with figuring out which method to call if the exact type of an object is not clear. So I made the type of roomMessage explicit and got another error which I fixed by removing the braces behind the nickname() method call. This made my app build again. Here's the working code:
for roomMessage: XMPPRoomMessageCoreDataStorageObject in self.messages {
let slices = split(roomMessage.nickname, { $0 == "_" }, allowEmptySlices: false)
}
I hope this helps someone out there to investigate the issue more quickly than I did.
I also had the same problem,
when I cleaned the derived data
Remove all removed derived data from Trash as well.
Stop Xcode, restart it and clean build
It should be fixed now.
In my case this error because I use Class name for variable
var MYClass : MYClass {
get {
return.....
}
}
And this fixes my problem
var myClass : MYClass {
get {
return.....
}
}
My problem was that I tried to mimic static variables with the so-called module approach (the Module design pattern). So, I had something like that (just a simple static reference to an operation queue declared at the level of a swift file):
let globalQueue: NSOperationQueue = {
let queue = NSOperationQueue()
queue.suspended = false
queue.maxConcurrentOperationCount = NSOperationQueueDefaultMaxConcurrentOperationCount
return queue
}()
So, that worked fine in Xcode 6.x.x, but ceased to compile in Xcode 7beta. Just want you guys to be aware of it.
P.S. In general, I managed to find out what was wrong from the logs (see the screenshot attached). Hope this saves you some time.
I got Segmentation fault when I called a protocol function the same protocols extension.
I had a code something in the line with this:
protocol Rotatable {
func rotate() -> Self
}
extension Rotatable {
func rotate(steps: Int) {
for _ 0..<steps { self.rotate() }
}
}
When I later made an object and declared that it would follow the Rotatable protocol I got Segmentation fault 11 and the program crashed.
Ex: this would cause Segmentation fault and crash Xcode
struct SomeStruct : Rotatable {
}
If I however first implemented the function rotate() in SomeStruct and then afterwards declared that it conformed to Rotatable there where no problem.
I had a similar today and tried the steps described here including removing files I had recently modified. Nothing seemed to work. I tried something that had been suggested when SourceKit would crash in Xcode.
I when into the derived data directory and deleted everything. The location is listed under "Preferences -> Locations -> Derived Data" There is an arrow icon right next to the path which opens finder with that directory selected. Select all the directories inside and delete them. Close Xcode and Reopen it. That made the problem disappear for me.
I think that some intermediate file is getting corrupted and the compiler does not know how to handle it.
I get this error because a silly mistake!!
in a class I defined
var url: String!?
:)
So it seems that this description is a multiple & generic error for a lot of reasons!!
This can happen as well if you are porting Objective-C code to Swift and you move an objective C protocol to swift. If you leave off the #objc at the protocol definition and you still have Objective-C code that uses that protocol you can get this error.
The solution in that case is adding #objc to the protocol
protocol MyPortedProtocol {}
changes to
#obcj protocol MyPortedProtocol {}
Also make sure any classes that implement this protocol add #objc to the methods
I did answer in "Swift compiler segmentation fault when building"
I had this error too, and i fixed like this:
check your project and find out which files are using twice and remove one, or delete all and re-add them.
Errors in my xCode
:0: error: filename "AttributedString.swift" used twice: '/Users/.../CNJOB/CNJOB/AttributedString.swift' and '/Users/.../CNJOB/CNJOB/AttributedString.swift'
:0: note: filenames are used to distinguish private declarations with the same name
:0: error: filename "APIClient.swift" used twice: '/Users/.../CNJOB/CNJOB/APIClient.swift' and '/Users/.../CNJOB/CNJOB/APIClient.swift'
:0: note: filenames are used to distinguish private declarations with the same name
Command /Applications/Xcode 3.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/swiftc failed with exit code 1
For me it's caused by adding the swift files to different targets (today extension in my case).
I forgot to add one #end after #implementation in a .m file that had multiple classes in it. Something like:
#implementation Adjust
#end
#implementation Data //#end For this class was missing
#implementation Create
#end
I got this bug because of line
self.textView.inputAccessoryView = self.toolbarItems;
If you delete it the error will gone.
My steps:
1)
Deleted Derived data
Cleared build folder Didn't help
Copied class files to another folder as backup and commented everything in this class. Error gone.
Commented code blocks one by one until
build was success.
For me the problem was mixing Generics, Extensions, and #objc.
It turns out Xcode doesn't like having #objc inside extensions of generic classes:
class FaultyClass<T: TypeValidator>: UIControl where T.ItemType == String {
}
extension FaultyClass: UITextFieldDelegate {
func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
}
}
The above code gives the error #objc is not supported within extensions of generic classes. So I moved the method to the class itself but didn't delete the empty extension. This got rid of the error but when I compiled the project I got the segmentation fault.
The solution was to move UITextFieldDelegate to the class declaration.
class GoodClass: <T: TypeValidator>: UIControl, UITextFieldDelegate where T.ItemType == String {
// MARK: - TextFieldDelegate
func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
}
}
My problem was in methods signatures:
func setCategory(categoryId: Int?, subcategoryId: Int?) -> FilterSettings {
func changeCategory(categoryId: Int?, subcategoryId: Int?, handler: #escaping (Int) -> ()) {
I don't get why compiler cannot handle such declarations.
In my case it was because of an inappropriate inout in the function parameters. So I suggest you to look for that as well.
For me it was something similar to what #LuisCien described in this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/42803582/4075379
I didn't have any generics or #objc tags, but it was these lines of code that were causing the segmentation fault:
public extension CGFloat {
/// Whether this number is between `other - tolerance` and `other + tolerance`
func isEqual(to other: CGFloat, tolerance: CGFloat) -> Bool {
return (other - tolerance...other + tolerance).contains(self)
}
}
i.e. an extension on a primarily Objective-C primary type?
Very luckily, I was able to delete those lines because the project wasn't using anymore. That fixed the issue.
Dumb mistake. I referred to self in a Class method:
public class func FunctionName() -> UIImage {
let bundle = Bundle.init(for: type(of: self))
...
}
I run into this problem when building some legacy code whaich was not adapted for latest Swift versions.

To solve this issue:
comment the pointed line (line 17 in AppDelegate.swift)
Build and fix all others issues
uncomment line from step 1
Swift 5 Very Easy And Smooth Solution
1- Just check your last added Extension / Code / Folder File before then this issue occur
2- Just Commit the code or save that code
3- Clean and Build & DONE :-)
Happy Coding
I ran into a similar problem when switching from beta2 to beta4.
Clean
then
Build
