I use the same bash script for building the XCFramework for at least 2 years and everything worked successfully until the moment I switched my Mac to M1 and my Xcode is 14.0.
The script is pretty standard (see below).
On MacPro M1, Xcode 14.0 I get the following error (the same script works just fine on Xcode 13.1).
error: the path does not point to a valid debug symbols file: /Users/*******/build/Release-iphoneos.xcarchive/BCSymbolMaps/*
Indeed when I look at build/Release-iphoneos.xcarchive folder - the BCSymbolMaps is not there. I verified that the Xcode setting "debug information format" is dwarf with dsym file.
Can someone please help me understand what is this error? and why it started happening on M1, Xcode 14.0 ?
Thank you
See my bash build script below.

When updating to Xcode 10, iOS static library target fails to build. Way how I am trying to build it is following:
xcodebuild -target TargetName -configuration Release clean build
With Xcode 9 everything runs smoothly, but when Xcode 10 is used for build, I am getting following error (after clean runs smoothly):
note: Using new build system
note: Planning build
note: Constructing build description Build system information error:
unable to attach DB: error: accessing build database
"/Users/uerceg/random-path/build/XCBuildData/build.db": database is
locked Possibly there are two concurrent builds running in the same
filesystem location.
** BUILD FAILED **
** BUILD FAILED **
The following build commands failed: PhaseScriptExecution

/Users/uerceg/random-path/build/Library.build/Release-iphoneos/LibraryTarget.build/Script-9DE7C9021AE68FA5001556E5.sh
(1 failure)
This probably unrelated, but I noticed that new Xcode 10 build system flags duplicated Copy Bundle Resource Info.plist files as errors, so I did make sure that there're no duplicated entries, but probably this error is not related to this fact.
Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong?
Okay, seems like I managed to solve it. I was having /bin/sh script in Build Phases that was trying to build fat static library. In the script, I had OBJROOT path set like this:
OBJROOT="${OBJROOT}"
Seems like Xcode 10 and new build system changed some paths on the way and this line was the source of the issue. It needs to be adjusted to:
OBJROOT="${OBJROOT}/DependentBuilds"
After that, xcodebuild manages to build this target without issues with new build system introduced in Xcode 10.
I didn't get to this solution by myself, big thanks to Matt Gallagher and his post in here: https://github.com/mattgallagher/CwlSignal/issues/24#issuecomment-396931001
As requested by #TMin in comment, here's how my script looks like:

Problem is in build_static_library method in this line:
OBJROOT="${OBJROOT}" \
Changing that line to:
OBJROOT="${OBJROOT}/DependantBuilds" \
solves the issue for me.
Open XCode File->Project Settings
Build System->Legacy Build System
Configure XCode of version 10.0 project settings can solve the problem.
If you use build script to build submodule's libraries like me.
You also need to disable new build system in your build script explicitly by using -UseModernBuildSystem=NO in your xcodebuild command.
For example:
xcodebuild -configuration "${CONFIGURATION}" -project "${PROJECT_NAME}.xcodeproj" -target "${TARGET_NAME}" -sdk "${OTHER_SDK_TO_BUILD}" ${ACTION} RUN_CLANG_STATIC_ANALYZER=NO BUILD_DIR="${BUILD_DIR}" BUILD_ROOT="${BUILD_ROOT}" SYMROOT="${SYMROOT}" -UseModernBuildSystem=NO
Deleting the Derived Data worked for me.
See how you can do it: https://programmingwithswift.com/delete-derived-data-xcode/
I have the same issues and try everything from the hints but this error still continues. Sometimes the project is built, next time there is no and error. And the solution that helps me is to edit scheme and switch off Parallelize Build. After that everything works fine.
Use this script it will it is working fine with new build system
# Step 1 search RECURSION and if detected stop "*/
if [ "true" == ${ALREADYINVOKED:-false} ]
then
echo "RECURSION: Detected, stopping"
else
export ALREADYINVOKED="true"
UNIVERSAL_OUTPUTFOLDER=${BUILD_DIR}/${CONFIGURATION}-universal
# Step 2. Build Device and Simulator versions
xcodebuild -target logger ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO -configuration ${CONFIGURATION} -sdk iphoneos BUILD_DIR="${BUILD_DIR}" BUILD_ROOT="${BUILD_ROOT}"
xcodebuild -target logger-configuration ${CONFIGURATION} -sdk iphonesimulator -arch i386 -arch x86_64 BUILD_DIR="${BUILD_DIR}" BUILD_ROOT="${BUILD_ROOT}"
# make sure the output directory exists
mkdir -p "${UNIVERSAL_OUTPUTFOLDER}"
# Step 3. Create universal binary file using lipo
lipo -create -output "${UNIVERSAL_OUTPUTFOLDER}/lib${PROJECT_NAME}universal.a" "${BUILD_DIR}/${CONFIGURATION}-iphoneos/lib${PROJECT_NAME}.a" "${BUILD_DIR}/${CONFIGURATION}-iphonesimulator/lib${PROJECT_NAME}.a"
# Last touch. copy the header files. Just for convenience
cp -R "${BUILD_DIR}/${CONFIGURATION}-iphoneos/include" "${UNIVERSAL_OUTPUTFOLDER}/"
fi
before Xcode 10 build system uses single thread, but in Xcode 10 usees new build system with multiple threads, so every time you run your build Xcode run button this script
xcodebuild -target logger ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO -configuration ${CONFIGURATION} -sdk iphoneos BUILD_DIR="${BUILD_DIR}" BUILD_ROOT="${BUILD_ROOT}".
will call one more time for build so on, that will create RECURSION
Don't forgot to end you Script With (fi) its end of IF condition
Step 1 is to Detect RECURSION and stop them
If you want to keep the XCode 10 default build system but still running your build outside of the IDE (in a CI machine for instance), just replace your -target parameter for the -scheme parameter in your xcodebuild command like:
xcodebuild -scheme SchemeName -configuration Release clean build
Thanks to this post from 2015 that talks about a very similar problem and it gave me the hint to solve this problem. As the same author says,
I would hazard a guess, that xcodebuild without a scheme goes
wrongly through the "modern build system", giving the mentioned error
Adding a Clean derived data step in my build scripts (before an Xcode build) seems to fix the problem for me.
Not sure if it's related, but my project uses Realm (installed with CocoaPods). This is the GitHub issue that inspired the "fix" -> https://github.com/realm/realm-cocoa/issues/5812.
I encountered this issue when running swift run <your_proj>.
A quick fix can be achieved by deleting the build.db file, along with its sibling files and directories. This may seem trifle, but it worked for me.
I am reposting this because a moderator saw it fit to delete my previous answer.
I encountered the same issues when I upgraded by builds to New Build System because of xcframeworks requirements.
Error: ".....Build/Intermediates.noindex/XCBuildData/build.db": database is locked Possibly there are two concurrent builds running in the same filesystem location."
The build was previously working fine when triggered with xcodebuild( )
None of the above/approved answered worked for me.
What worked for me was a switch from xcodebuild( ) to build_app( ) in my Fastlane script.
Hope this answer helps someone in the future.
For me, I just cleaned my project.
Restarted the IDE & rebuilt the project & it worked like a charm.
It could be because you have in your podfile an incompatible version to make sure open the runner.xcodeproj with xcode and see the version then go and see podfile to make sure it is the same and uncomented if not make them the same.
hope this is helpful.
UPDATE:
The correct answer is probably this one: Xcode 6.1 error while building IPA
Using Jenkins to build iOS projects from repositories since a few years. Suddenly today a new error occurs, stopping builds.
I think I based most of this setup on this tutorial way back:
http://www.raywenderlich.com/22816/beginning-automated-testing-with-xcode-part-22
This step causes the error:
# 4
echo "*** Post build step 4"
/usr/bin/xcrun -sdk iphoneos PackageApplication \
-o "${IPA_DIR}/${PROJECT}.ipa" \
-verbose "${APP}" \
-sign "${SIGNING_IDENTITY}" \
--embed "${PROVISIONING_PROFILE}"
It's a bit tricky to look at the logs where the error occurs, but here it is:
### Codesigning '/Users/Shared/Jenkins/Home/jobs/myapp/workspace/myapp_adhoc_7.mobileprovision' with 'iPhone Distribution: mycompany Inc.'

I'll try to fix this myself and later add the solution here, but in case anyone is faster than me please go ahead.
I have not specified --resource-rules in any settings. I guess xcrun uses this setting on its own, even though it is deprecated.
Instead of using xcrun, you can use xcodebuild to create an archive and then run xcodebuild again to create the IPA file.
# Create an archive
xcodebuild -alltargets -configuration "${CONFIGURATION}" -scheme "${SCHEME}" -archivePath "${APP_PATH}/${PROJECT}.xcarchive" archive
# Create the IPA file from the archive
xcodebuild -exportProvisioningProfile "${PROVISIONING_PROFILE_NAME}" -exportArchive -exportFormat IPA -archivePath "${APP_PATH}/${PROJECT}.xcarchive" -exportPath "${IPA_DIR}/${PROJECT}.ipa" CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY="${SIGNING_IDENTITY}"
Note that ${PROVISIONING_PROFILE_NAME} should contain the name of the provisional profile, and not the path to the file itself.
Found the answer.
The problem that occurred now was the "xcrun PackageApplication" something something line. I had to remove the "-sign some profile" parameter, then things started working again.
That said I don't know why signing was necessary before, and why it isn't now so can't tell if this is going to cause some problem later.
I am trying to build IPA from terminal. I tried the following steps:
Step 1:
/usr/bin/xcodebuild -target "appname" -sdk "iphoneos" -configuration Release
Step 2:
/usr/bin/xcrun -sdk iphoneos PackageApplication -v "appname" -o "/Users/Pictures/" -sign "iPhone Developer:xxxxx" --embed /Users//Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles/xxxxxx.mobileprovision"
I didn't get any error but I am not getting any response. I have been waiting for more than 30 minutes. What am I missing here?
I have given a brief description of steps to follow, and parameters to pass while generating an ipa using terrminal below:
1) Go to the folder which contains the MyApp.xcodeproject file in terminal
2) By using the command given below you will get all the Targets of the application
/usr/bin/xcodebuild -list
3) After the above command is executed, you will get a list of targets of which you should select a specific target you need to generate .ipa
/usr/bin/xcodebuild -target $TARGET -sdk iphoneos -configuration Release
4) The above command builds the project and creates a .app file.The path to locate the .app file is"./build/Release-iphoneos/MyApp.app"
5) After Build gets succeeded then execute the following command to generate .ipa of the application using Developer Name and Provisioning Profile using the syntax below:
/usr/bin/xcrun -sdk iphoneos PackageApplication -v “${TARGET}.app” -o “${OUTDIR}/${TARGET}.ipa” –sign “${IDENTITY}” –embed “${PROVISONING_PROFILE}”
Explanation of each Parameter in the above syntax:
${TARGET}.app == Target path (ex :/Users/XXXXXX/desktop/Application/build/Release-iphoneos/MyApp.app) ${OUTDIR} == Select the output directory(Where you want to save .ipa file) ${IDENTITY} == iPhone Developer: XXXXXXX (XXXXXXXXXX)(which can be obtained from Keychain access) ${PROVISONING_PROFILE} == Path to the provisioning profile(/Users/XXXXXX/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX.mobileprovision”)
6)ipa will be generated at selected output directory "${OUTDIR}"
I'm getting errors when trying to run /usr/bin/xcrun
/usr/bin/xcrun -sdk iphoneos PackageApplication /Users/xxxx/bamboo-agent-home/xml-data/build-dir/BEAM-IOS0-JOB1/archive.xcarchive/Products/Applications/MyApp.app -o /Users/xxxxx/bamboo-agent-home/xml-data/build-dir/BEAM-IOS0-JOB1/MyApp.ipa --sign "iPhone Distribution: MyComp" --embed /Users/xxxx/bamboo-agent-home/xml-data/build-dir/iOS_Team_Provisioning_Profile_.mobileprovision
and error is like this:
error: Unable to copy '/Users/xxxxx/bamboo-agent-home/xml-data/build-dir/iOS_Team_Provisioning_Profile_.mobileprovision'
to '/var/folders/1t/pgh7fy550vl8nrvtmqhvn_780000gn/T/cjftmH0k7i/Payload/MyApp.app/embedded.mobileprovision'
Any idea?
What's wrong with this case?
The provisioning file has been already embedded in your application (MyApp.app)
You can check this by extracting the .app using Archive Utility.
Remove the part --embed /Users/xxxx/bamboo-agent-home/xml-data/build-dir/iOS_Team_Provisioning_Profile_.mobileprovision from the command line and try again.
