xcodebuild failure clang:error no such file or directory: - ios

Having a problem when building with xcodebuild. My project/app builds fine with the Xcode - gui. It simply isn't finding/building the libcryptopp library which is part of the build process.
The error is:
clang: error: no such file or directory: '/Users/builder/repo/ioskpay/xcode-cryptopp/cryptopp/build/Release-iphoneos/libcryptopp.a'
This particular file should be derived from another project inside the main app - xcodebuild simply isn't correctly pointing at the right file folder which should be:
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
Any ideas?

To fix this, go to your project settings, go to Targets and select your main project target. Then go to Build phases. Under Target dependencies add the static library project.
This way, when you compile the main project, the static library subproject gets compiled before the main project and your static library will be available.

I had the same problem, but for a resource file .m
I opened target -> build phases -> Compile sources
and I found the file the compiler was tell it can't find duplicated: one with strange icon and the other with a normal icon. I simply removed the one with strange icon and it worked. ( I added the file multiple times and I had a merge conflict before that which made something wrong in the project file)
For your case I think you need to remove the lib from target dependencies list and add it again. This may work for you.

In Xcode Version 9.2 (9C40b) this happened when I drug a bunch of files into the project, some of which were duplicate. Rather than simply not adding the duplicates, it added them again and only the name, not the path.
In Target > Build Phases > Compile Sources each of the duplicates showed with no "...in" after them. Each one caused the clang error.
After removing all of the duplicates that Xcode collected, the project compiled and ran.
It makes you use the Project Navigator instead of managing your source files in the Finder. Then the Project Navigator can't replace duplicates like any decent file management system (ahem Finder). ๐Ÿคจ

My xCode info is:
I faced similar errors during xcode building projects (native swift, flutter, react native, native script) in which I got error messages related to clang compilar. Errors like:
clang-4.0: error: no such file or directory: '/Users/xxxxxxxx/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/Index/Data Store'
clang-4.0: error: cannot specify -o when generating multiple output files
others
Despite of errors related with DerivedData for native apps can be fixed by deleting the directory and, eventually, restart xCode and even restart the machine... in this case, you will see that after deleting the directory and start building process again, the error comes back.
Then, is the moment of checking the clang installation by running clang --version. The normal output will be something like:
as you can see the InstalledDir is incorrect for xCode. In my case, some days ago I needed to install Anaconda app (R, Python, etc) and, now, I remember that I had to install some dependencies and one of them was clang and its installation was altered.
To fix this problem (in my case that I will not need anaconda any more): (edited)
1.- Delete anaconda and all its dependencies (I recommend to use App Cleaner).
2.- Re-install xCode
After reinstalling xCode, if you type again clang --version, you'll get this:

Hopefully, this info helps some else.

Ok so by simply adding the correct -target -configuration and -scheme parameters I got this to run correctly. However due to my running this in Jenkins for autobuild purposes it still doesn't work as I'd like - getting stuck in exactly the same place. It's odd because I have the exact same code being built in another job that isn't having this problem. There is no rhyme or reason for it at this point. I will keep shooting rubber bands at it and update when I have an answer...

Sometimes Xcode performs weird.
You have to find that static library project e.g.. "filename.a" under 'Link Binary With Libraries' in Build Phase and then remove it and add it again.
I had the same problem while I was archiving my target. I removed the library and the build succeeded.

For me it was because I had removed a package or pod. I ran pod install and it fixed it

Look for the missing file in the Xcode project i.e the files may be deleted or miss placed.
add the missing files to the xcode, then everything will work fine.

Run this command :
$ conda deactivate

Xcode 9 - linker command failed with exit code 1

While compiling the application getting as following error
" compiled with older version of Swift language (3.0) than previous files (4.0) file "
Could you please help me?
Use the xcworkspace to build instead of the xcproject?
This usually happens when using Cocoapods and you are building from the xcproject which doesn't know about the cocoapod libraries.
Delete the derived data and do a clean build.
And if you are building a framework, make sure you've selected Generic IOS Device while building or set the Build for Active Architecture only as true in Build Settings.
I think this happens because you changed your app name or maybe the target
look to solve this problem see your target in Podfile
and then come back to your xcode in the targets
select your target app and in linked Frameworks and Libraries (the last one down) see if there's
any pods with light color and a strange name than your target in the podfile
and remove it using the minus button down .
I'd rather fix the specific problem, but if none of the other answers worked a full reset can solve it. If you are getting this error and you are also getting error readouts that refer to "duplicate symbol files", AND all other efforts have failed, then a full reset could work for you.
What worked for me:
Read the error report to identify the repo that supposedly contains duplicate files.
Drag repo to the trash.
re-clone your repo.
set up your repo with correct remote tracking. git remote add <url.git>, or git remote set-url <url.git>
This absolutely worked for me. In my case for some elusive reason, when I ran git pull upstream develop for a local dependency, git would pull in/generate duplicate files from multiple commits.
After following the above steps, the issue went away and git pull upstream develop was no longer pulling from multiple commits at once. Perhaps there was a weird git cache for my repo.
I had the two copies of files in the codebase. Deleting one copy helped code to build successfully
I am probably late for you, but for future devs in problems...
If you have been manipulating the podfile or creating new targets or maybe changing the name of any of them, check that in build phases options your just have correct pod framework for the name of the targets.
if you have pod
first clean project and close Xcode then open terminal and go to folder of Project then pod update
open the project and run
in my case work!
I fixed this problem today by running the app in the simulator using the target associated with the bundle file named in the Build Settings-->Bundle Loader setting of the test target. Previously I had deleted my derived data folder while working on a different target that has a different Product Name than the one associated with the test target bundle file. Rerunning the app in the simulator must have recreated the bundle file in the derived data folder that the test target is looking for and then my tests started running fine.

Apple Mach -O Linker (Id) Error?

I am trying to build this xcode workspace which was built from Unity. And after modifying the project a little bit when I getting to the very end of building the project (linking) I get the Apple Mach -O Linker (Id) Error. I can't open the error tab to see what exactly is causing the error. All it says is "Linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation). There are also two Apple Mach -O Linker (Id) Errors which occur but I have no idea how to solve them.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
I can't expand these tabs.. this is all I get told
This is the warning tab expanded, the two Apple Mach -O Linker (Id) warnings are the same
This problem has different solutions , one of them is to set Enable Bitcode to No . ( I don't know why by default it is Yes )
This problem is a ghost like problem . Clearing Cache , Restarting Xcode , Simulator and MAC ,Ensuring proper linking of Frameworks ,Changing app Architecture or , Sometimes just doing nothing can solve this problem .
This issue was connected to "Link Binary With Libraries". I've renamed the target, and there were two .framework files for the Pods. Thus, after removing the outdated one - the issue was solved.
For me the scenario was that I removed one of the dependency in my pods which was not required, after removing it I was getting error that the same dependency not found. So I went to delete its entry from the Project >> Build Settings >> other Linker Flags and then selected the same and deleted it as shown below in the Image. After removing from the linker Flags I started getting the Apple Mach -O Linker (Id) Error? and after trying everything for a day I realised the issue lies inside the linker Flags. Where on deleting any dependecy you have to delete the other line name -framework. you can check the below image to get the clarity.
So I suggest to keep an eye on it while deleting the dependecy from the linker flags, do delete the associated -framework too which lies below the dependency name. In my case it was ObjectMapper
If you just installed/ uninstalled a pod you might want to look at this. Here's what worked for me:
First make sure you are opening the .xcworkspace file not the .xcodeproj. But this is probable not what's causing the issue.
Delete the pod that was recently just installed.
In the project directory on Xcode, open the frameworks folder and if the pod which was just removed is still listed there as one recentlyremovedpod.framework, delete it from there also. This step is what made my project compile eventually.
Another possible cause is if you rename one of your targets (why did I do that?) and you're using pods. You end up with a version of your old target name in the Frameworks folder in your main project (not the Pods project), like pods_oldtarget_framework which no longer exists.
Just delete the old version (or name your target back to it's original and delete the new one), and you should be good to go.
For me it was missing frameworks. Try searching the errors you get on Google and find out which frameworks they're part of, then import them in the Build phases tab.
I was having the same issue, and resolved by
installing the latest CocoaPods
then do pod setup
For me I had the problem because I was using Xcode 9 (beta), then I open the same project with another Xcode 8.3. To solve the problem for me just Clean then Run again.
If building on mac for ios in unity, make sure that in the build settings you disable "Metal Editor Support" under other settings for the ios platform.
I used xcode 9.3 and I got this same error. But with 9.2 it works.
The error may happen because of incompatibilities between the artifacts produced by the two xcodes. The project that threw the error included a framework built with xcode 9.2
I added libstdc++.tbd to "BuildPhases >> Link Binary With Libraries". It works for me.
How I resolved this issue:
I exit Xcode then opened my project's .xcworkspace again.
While Xcode was starting...i saw warnings...xcode is smarter enough and ask you switch to recommended settings...Tap it and let him do the changes.
(Read warning seriously and with positive mind and then you will resolve it) ๐Ÿ˜Š

iOS Swift No Such File or Directory In Debug-iphoneos

Somebody please save me.
This is the error I'm getting. I've tried cleaning, doing a build clean, pod installs and updates. I have not found a solution.
Shell Script Invocation Error Group
/Users/arthuraraujo/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Anti-Social_Club-gizjofrkxroutxezxlbuadlvpwbo/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/Anti-Social: No such file or directory
I have similar issues in the past and doing the following work for me. Hope your problem is same as mine:
Close xCode
Go to this folder Group
/Users/arthuraraujo/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Anti-Social_Club-gizjofrkxroutxezxlbuadlvpwbo/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/
and delete Anti-Social.
Restart xCode, clean & build.
It is hard to really tell you the solution with just the information provided. However, the first thing I would try is deleting the derived data, as CodeBender stated. You should also look at your search paths in your project's building settings to make sure your pods are correct/ connecting your pods files to your project.

Xcode 8 Shell Script Invocation Error
Here is what I did when I got this:
Used this site to completely remove All Versions of cocoapods:
https://superuser.com/questions/686317/how-to-fully-uninstall-the-cocoapods-from-the-mac-machine
Re-installed current stable version of cocoapods (v1.1.1 for me)
Deleted podlock and pods directory
Deleted old .xcworkspace file (this was key for me).
Did "pod install"
Opened xcode and cleaned project and deleted derivedData.
Go to your build phases and remove libReact.a from the linked libraries.
Then add libReact.a but select this one:
libReact.a from 'React' target in 'Pods' project

Validation Error: The bundle contains disallowed file 'Frameworks'

I'm having the same issue as this guy, this guy, and this guy (nota bene, I'm actually not sure if they're all guys, per se).
They all ended up finding their own solutions, but none of them apply to my issue. I'm using Xcode 6.1 in my iOS 8 app with an included extension. The app and the extension both rely on an included framework. When I try to submit the app to the Store, the validation warning I get is "ERROR ITMS-9000: Invalid bundle. The bundle at 'xxxxx.appex' contains disallowed file 'Frameworks'".
I can't even find a file called Frameworks. The shared framework is supposed to be saved at /Library/Frameworks, which is Apple's recommended save location. The project also uses Cocoapods, which strikes me as the only other possible culprit, since it has references in its configuration files to $FRAMEWORK_PATH (though the build folder doesn't include a file or folder with that name).
OK for future viewers here's the fix:
When you create your own iOS framework (I'm using Xcode 6.1) when you build it the final product contains a 'Frameworks' folder in the framework bundle itself. i.e. MyFramework.framework/Frameworks. This happens even if you don't specify a copy files/embed frameworks build phase.
What you have to do is to go into you framework bundle, find the empty frameworks folder and delete it. This should not affect your app's functionality in any way. Then build your app and check that the embedded framework doesn't have a Frameworks folder as planned.
Your archive should now not contain the offending folder and the error should be gone!
I changed build settings > Packaging > Define modules set to YES in my extension and watch app target. Works fine for me.
In my case the solution was the following :
Try to create the script there 'problematic target' -> Build Phases' then click on + and select New Run Script Phase, the run script should go after all others. Insert there :
cd "${CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR}/${UNLOCALIZED_RESOURCES_FOLDER_PATH}/"
if [[ -d "Frameworks" ]]; then
rm -fr Frameworks
fi
Then clean the project and try to create an archive once again. These answer was provided in the following issue :
https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/4203
I hope this help you.
Continuing to work with this, I noted that my Share Extension had an "Embed Frameworks" Build Phase, with the Destination set to the "Frameworks" directory. I changed it to "Shared Frameworks" and the error has gone away.
However, another error remains: "... contains disallowed nested bundles". I thought this was a sort of umbrella error warning as a result of the original. I'll open another question for that one.

Unable to build iOS project using command line but fine via Xcode interface

I have an Xcode project. When in Xcode interactively, I am able to run/build/archive using the Ad_Hoc_Distribution configuration but when I run:
/usr/bin/xcodebuild -configuration Ad_Hoc_Distribution clean build
inside my project, I get an error:
/Users/esg/Documents/app-ios/testapp/testapp/AppDelegate.h:14:9: fatal error: 'RestKit/RestKit.h' file not found
#import <RestKit/RestKit.h>
^
1 error generated.
What would cause this to fail from the command line when it works via the interface?
My team has encountered this same issue. After upgrading from Xcode 4.3.2 to 4.4.1, files that used to be found correctly no longer do.
By comparing the output of xcodebuild vs. Xcode's own build logs, and then comparing vs. our Xcode 4.3.2 build logs, we discovered that xcodebuild and Xcode IDE do not build with the same header dependencies anymore. When xcodebuild runs a 4.4.1 build, it uses an incorrect base directory for include files, which does not include the entire current path leading to the .xcodeproj directory. The last two directory nodes in the folder path appear to be truncated.
But building from Xcode IDE worked fine.
We worked around this problem by adding the correct header paths, as Xcode reports it, as an additional header dependency:
$(SRCROOT) is what seems to be interpreted incorrectly when xcodebuild is employed. It should contain the two subdirectories I inserted in the second line.
I can only conclude that there is a ripe and spicy new bug in the xcode/xcodebuild interaction, but you can fix your header dependencies to at least get things compiling.
See my own issue regarding this.
xcodebuild header files not found in ReskIt
I resolved it by changing nothing, but by adding a workspace and a scheme and used it to build. All the header settings were the same as it is being set for Xcode GUI to build.
