I had the same message and resolved this by changing the build system in the workspace settings. In my case, the build system for "shared workspace settings" was on "new build system" and the build system fro "pre user workspace settings" was on legacy. Putting both on new build solved the problem.

In my case, the error was caused by mis-setting of framework dependency.

Correct framework dpendency without error:

Problematic dependency giving The application bundle does not contain an executable error:

Conclusion:

make sure there are no duplicate framework dependency.

Thanks Ying and Sachin for your help and time. I appreciate that. But I have figured out what went wrong.

The problem was with TwitterCore.framework in TwitterKit.

I looked into TwitterKit frameworks in Pods/TwitterKit/iOS/TwitterKit.framework/Info.plist, there was a key 'Executable file' with string value of 'TwitterKit' in it.

When i go in the same place in TwitterCore Pods/TwitterKit/iOS/TwitterCore.framework/Info.plist, 'Executable file' key was missing. i added it with string 'TwitterCore'.

Problem solved. :)

  • Remove all your extensions from Build Phases > Target Dependencies and Build Phases > Embed App Extensions stages.
  • Run Product > Clean
  • Try compiling
  • Add your extensions one by one and do Product > Clean + Product > Run after adding each of them.

Hope this helps.

Check your pinfo.list, if this setting is existing, if not add it:

<key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME}</string>
