PODs Failing to compile after xcode update - xcode

I just updated my xcode to Version 10.1 (10B61). After doing so, my pods don't work. See below error messages. Aside from PKHUD, the error messages don't provide suggestions as to how to fix this issue. Per online sources, I've updated my OS to High Sierra 10.13.6. Any suggestions on how to get the app to compile? It was working before the update.

On Xcode, select the Pods project and on the left panel select the frameworks that are causing the issue. On Build Settings, browse for Swift and make sure you have correctly set the version you have installed of those frameworks.
You can check that framework is fine after you tweak that value by compiling the framework after selecting it.
Just run cmd+B to compile and check if it build successfully. If you don't see the framework on the list just go to manage schemes and add it.

Xcode Workspace "Internal error: missingPackageDescriptionModule"

After updating Xcode to version 13.2 i can't build my project anymore. I have a strange error "Internal error: missingPackageDescriptionModule" related to my Workspace file.
It's definitely related to SPM because Xcode is not loading SPM packages also. I tried to "Reset package caches", "Resolve package caches" and also "Updating to latest package caches" but after all of these operating nothing happens. Deleting derived data, cleaning didn't help too...
I tried also to resolve packages from Terminal using xcodebuild -resolvePackageDependencies but I get error message:
--- xcodebuild: WARNING: The directory /Users/ptocicki/Developer/KFC/kfc-ios also contains the legacy project 'project.pbxproj' - ignoring it and using 'KFC.xcodeproj'.
xcodebuild: error: Could not resolve package dependencies:
Internal error: missingPackageDescriptionModule"
Apple is aware of the issue.
We're currently investigating this issue — thank you to those who have
filed bug reports so far. To workaround this issue, please re-download
Xcode 13.2 directly from the Downloads page.

🎊 Fixed on v13.2.1 and you can download from here
Explaination
This bug is reported and the v13.2.1 AppStore version but As  Apple suggest here, you should download the Xcode manually from the developer center
Manual download of any Apple developer software
✅ The always working and preferred workaround!
Download directly from Apple:
Latest Release version or
Latest Beta version or
Any version you need and all other downloadable contents
Then extract and move it where you like. This has so many benefits compared to AppStore updates. (like the ability to resume download, not replacing the old one, not wasting hidden directories and etc.)
Note that you should use safari to download it.

If you’re using Swift packages either standalone or as dependencies in an Xcode project or workspace, the Mac App Store version of Xcode fails during package resolution with the error “Internal error: missingPackageDescriptionModule.” (86435800)
Workaround: Download Xcode 13.2 directly from the Apple Developer website.
I just got the issues late at night after Xcode updated on its own while I was working on my project, which was not a cool surprise. It appears to be affecting all dependencies. You are not alone in this it's affecting everyone. I did what they recommended and downloaded Xcode directly from the Apples developer site and it fixed all my issues super happy right now!!!!!!!
XCode was updated to 13.2.1 at 12/19 which fix the issue.

Seems local package still working. So there is a temporary solution: We can download the dependencies then add them to the project as local paclages.
Please update to Xcode 13.2.1.
If not, download Xcode 13.2 from the Apple Developer website.
Updating from Xcode 13.2 to 13.2.1 from App Store fixed the issue for me.

Executable Not Found. xxx.app is not a valid path to an executable file

Executable Not Found

Recovery Suggestion: /Users/riber/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/digitalCurrency-hiyiyrokjaydkiagjimlwohehrtu/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/digitalCurrency.app is not a valid path to an executable file. Please rebuild the project to ensure that all required executables are created. Check your project settings to ensure that a valid executable will be built.

Check if all files are available.
Targets -> Build Phases -> Compile Sources
If you see faint files, then they need to be removed or added.
Under "Build Settings" - "Architectures" check that you don't have "arm64" excluded under "Excluded architectures" for release, as all new iOS devices use this architecture.
I'm also get the same error. Let me share how I fix it.
I write cpp code on vscode.
I deleted a .cpp/.h file that I didn't need anymore a few days ago.
Everything nice and happy when I working on vscode.
".app is not a valid path" appeared when i switched back to the xcode to verification function.
I was confused.
(I don't immediately remember my delete operation a few days ago)
The key isn't the dialog showed "Executable Not Found",
Switch to "Issue Navigator" and drag to the bottom...
Now the ERROR shows up in front of U:
Finally the solution is :
TARGETS -> Select your ‘Target' -> Build Phases -> Compile Sources :
Select the ".cpp" file that had been delete, then "Remove Items" by click the second "-" button in the lower left corner.
I fixed it by adding x86_64 to VALID_ARCHS. Build Setting search "VALID_ARCHS",check the x86_64 is there or not, add and run.It worked with me .
resolve it using pod install.
as Frank said, I also use RN in my app.
I have tried clean derived data & even reboot, still happening
Check the Executable File in the Info(.plist). It should be named the same as your Product in Products
I have this issue on a react native application and I can resolve it reinstalling cocoaPods.
pod install
Inside the ios folder on your react native project.
Check if you have any other info.plist-s added to project.
I had similar issue when I added some pod sources (MKStoreKit) to the project - it had several info plists for different platforms which interfered with original one. Deleting wrong info plists solved the issue.
I have to delete the 'DerivedData' folder:
$ rm -Rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
EDIT: I've found a solution...
The problem in my case was because of project configurations and Pods. In the long life of my project the configuration files for the schemes changed and Xcode, using the new build system, did not like.
To fix it, just go to the Project -> Info tab. Under Configurations change the Based on Configuration value of the Targets and set them to None. Please note that I've changed only the Targets.
Now close Xcode and launch pod install from the Terminal.
reopen Xcode and launch your project.
Old answer:
I may have found a workaround to this issue... not a solution but a workaround.
I have to work on a not really recent project that was built using the Legacy System that, as you may know, is deprecated now.
While I was using Xcode 12 everything was fine. Then I installed the Xcode 13 GM and I upgrated the project to the new building system and I started to experience this issue. I have the same problem with any Xcode 13.x version. With the betas I had not, as far as I can remember.
The strange thing is that "sometimes" (I could not reproduce it sorry), the new build system worked... but just for a while.
The building phase succeeds but then, then the app is installed on simulator OR on a real device, I have that annoying message that we know...
This morning I may have find a solution...
In Xcode go to File -> Workspace Settings, keep the Legacy Build System and check the box "Do not show a diagnostic issue about build system deprecation"
Now the app builds and can be installed.
Honestly I don't know it is an Xcode bug or not... maybe it is.
if you are using git, there's huge chance there might be conflict in .pbxproj due to multiple people adding stuffs together. During the resolution xcode might try to recover those 'lost references' it got confused and unable to resolve the once there references. find those 'recovered references' in project explorer and remove them if they are invalid
Had the same issue. I deleted the simulators and added them again.
Please make sure that your runner isn't missing AppDelegate.swift or Runner-Bridging-Header.h file.
In my case, my AppDelegate.swift file and Runner-Bridging-Header.h files were deleted, so I copy and paste both the files in ios>Runner folder again from some other project (usually both of these files are same in all projects, just need to add the code lines for firebase configurations).

xcode product clear not clearing the issue viewer

On XCode I do a build and it adds issues in the issue viewer, with warnings and error(s).
In the past I did Product | Clean and my issues list was cleared (made empty). But now it shows a message "Clean succeeded" and the warnings are still there!
Is this a bug, or is there some setting?
I'm using XCode Version: 9.4.0 according to the help/XCode-help.
OK. It was a list of problems with the current versions of the build, after upgrading the XCODE which now works only with more advanced versions of Android.
I followed the recommendations (and ruined my project which cannot be built) but that cleared all the issues. I then returned with an old batch, ignore all the warnings and build happily ever after.

Xcode cannot compile for older Architecture

This happens after I updated my Xcode to support iOS 11, if I set 'Build Active Architecture' to 'YES' and build for a specific device, it runs fine but if I try to set 'Build Active Architecture' to 'NO' or build for generic iOS device it will create an error 'No Such Module...'.
This is okay for testing but the main problem is that the version to upload to app store needs to support armv7 and armv7s as well.
If it affects I am using Xcode 9.0.1(no absolute reason just the latest version when I perform the update). I am using the current latest version of 9.2.
I am using Cocoapods to install external frameworks. Those that appear in the 'No such Module' error includes Alamofire, XlPagerTabStrips and ActionsheetPicker(those that I noted, may be more) they are all updated to latest version when I updated Xcode.
There is also another situation where my project cannot use Automatic codes signing, that may or may not be related but I am just going to mention it, if it hints at anything.
Update:
I have converted my project to Swift4, confirmed my cocoapods is up to date, reinstalled all the modules for Swift4. Same situation, the error claiming 'No such module...' will appear if I try to compile including older architectures.
The error will not show if I attempt to compile only for arm64 and armv7s but somehow the ipa only supports arm64.
Assuming that you got the last version of Xcode 9.1 [December 4, 2017] then, you may also first start to update CocoaPods to the last version, then follow documentation to clean remove then reinstall the last version of each module:
https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire
https://github.com/xmartlabs/XLPagerTabStrip
https://github.com/skywinder/ActionSheetPicker-3.0
...
Remember also that some modules will required some specifics setup to be integrated into your Xcode project using CocoaPods.

Getting "Missing SDK in target picChoice: iphoneos4.0" error when building a test release of my app in Xcode 4, pvw 5

I have opened a functioning Xcode 3x project in Xcode 4.0 pvw 5 and am getting the following error whei I try to build a debug version of the app: "Missing SDK in target picChoice: iphoneos4.0"
I am trying to find where and how to remedy this, and I am coming up with bupkus.
I apologize if this is not very clear, but I am rather flummoxed by Xcode 4 so far....
Your problem was probably that Xcode 4 only came with SDK 4.2, and the project pointed to 4.0.
It's pretty common!
The solution is to go to the project info | Build settings | Base SDK and setting it to "Latest iOS" so that you don't have to touch it for future updates.
When you close the window, you'll have to switch config from debug to release or distribution and back so that it updates and Xcode removes the "Missing SDK" problem.
I just wanted to put the full answer up here to help others who have the same problem ;)
Ok...I resolved this, but I did not properly track HOW I resolved it....
I think my Target's Base SDK was not set, and I set it to: Latest iOS (iOS 4.2)....
I think that's how I did it....
But, now it builds with no errors and loads onto my iPhone as expected.
That is exactly what you needed to do. Xcode 4 introduced the Latest iOS. If you wish to test the app for older versions, select target > summary > deployment target and set that to an older iOS version and then in simulator you will see more version options available to you.
