Kindly advise.

Answer 1

I was getting this error when trying to build the workspace from the command line. To fix it for me I needed to add -workspace <AppName>.xcworkspace to the end of my build command. I was able to figure this out thanks to the answers above regarding building from the IDE.

The failing command:

xcodebuild clean archive 
  -scheme releaseScheme 
  -configuration Release 
  -archivePath ../builds/<AppName>.xcarchive 
  -allowProvisioningUpdates
  DEVELOPMENT_TEAM=<TeamId>

The final command:

xcodebuild clean archive 
  -scheme releaseScheme 
  -configuration Release 
  -archivePath ../builds/<AppName>.xcarchive 
  -allowProvisioningUpdates
  -workspace <AppName>.xcworkspace
  DEVELOPMENT_TEAM=<TeamId>

Answer 2

I had the same issue, but its why I was Building from Xcode Project, and I have to do it from XCode Workspace.

Answer 3

Found the problems:

1. I opened a xcproject file instead of xcworkspace. Since I am using react-native which in turn uses COCOA, I am required to open the xcworkspace.

2. Reason for the above error was the POD Target Usable files were not available in the runtime project build directory generated.

So I Copy target support files from PODS Directory to dynamic generated path something like below /Users/ritz/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/thoughtrail-blthhaitoghgvzenyxayuwazwzfm/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator

the build moved forward however it failed for some other reason.

So to summarize the problem was basically me opening the xcproject and not xcworkspace.

Hope this will help beginners like me.
