Xcode Obj-C Can't open output file for writing, errno=21 for architecture x86_64

First of all the project I'm working at is written in Objective-C and I use XCode 8.3.2.

When I want to run my app in Debug-Mode I don't have any problems, it runs on simulator and on real devices.

But when I try to run the app in Release-Mode, then there are two errors:

ld: can't open output file for writing: /Users/rr/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/LehrerApp-abwqpnehycsrglaplrxtulrrlplf/Build/Intermediates/LehrerApp.build/Release-iphonesimulator/LehrerApp.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/LehrerApp, errno=21 for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I know there are already some answers here, but they didn't helped. I tried the following:

My Build Settings look as follows:

I don't know any further. Please help me, what can I do?

Make sure your file is not the same name as a folder in that directory.

this can also happen if your executable is named after one of your current files in the same directory.

This error may occur if you add the root (folders / files) inside sub folder. So in my case I had a requirement for adding the images into the images folder. But instead of adding image, I added all the files present in my project folder. After a long time, found that there is something wrong within the project structure. So, I removed the reference of the duplicated files, now this error is no more. I hope this may help someone.
