I am building a simple Swift based project in Xcode 9.2. I would like to import a .png image file into my project, to display within my app. I attempt to do this by dragging a .png file into the Xcode Navigator. A dialog box appears, asking me to "Choose options for adding these files:". I select the "Copy items if needed" box, I select the "Create groups" radio button, and then I press "Finish".
The .png file now appears in my project, however my project no longer builds. Instead of "Build Succeeded", I get "Build Failed". The only change is adding the .png file.
The "Build Failed" message says that I have a "Code Sign Error". Clicking on this message, I get the following additional detail:
Debug/FourBarVisualizer.app: resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed
Command /usr/bin/codesign failed with exit code 1
Deleting the .png file fixes the problem.
Adding .txt files or .jpg files the same way doesn't cause any problems.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. I'd prefer not to have to convert all my .png files to .jpg. Am I doing something wrong, or is this an Xcode bug? Thanks.
I can't be certain this applies in your case, but I just suffered the identical problem and was all ready to blame the recent Xcode 9.3 update, but StackOverflow suggested your question as being similar to the one I was in the process of writing.
I was just about to use ImageMagick to convert the PNG to another PNG in the hope of removing whatever upsets Xcode and I noticed that it had the hide extension attribute set. Unchecking that (before adding to the project) fixes things for me.
Having discovered that, I can now see what the additional text in the error was getting at ("resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed"), even if it wasn't quite enough to guide me immediately to the solution.

With Xcode 10.2 I'm getting a Code Signing failure of
resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed
Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code
but I don't how to find which particular element of the massive project is causing the problem.
This, by the way, was not occurring with Xcode 10.1. Back then I did find that some of my .png images contained color profiles which were removed and stopped a code signing failure there.
The current failure occurred after bringing the code unchanged from under 10.1 where no failure happens. And it does not happen either when I take the code as modified under 10.2 back to 10.1. So this is making me crazy!
Now, I can't even find Apple documentation to help me find what to fix! Any suggestions will be gratefully processed. Thanks.
I examined (again) the dense paragraph above the code signing error message. The main thing it contained was a path to my app bundle. So I thought something extraneous might be within the bundle.
I went to the Products folder in the project navigator panel in Xcode and right-clicked my app, then selected Show in Finder, then in the Finder I right-clicked the app and selected Show Package Contents, then expanded the Contents directory and then the Resources directory which is the most likely place to find detritus.
Sure enough, there was a .png image file which I had rejected for use while experimenting with the app. I had commented out // the code lines referring to it, but had not deleted that image file from among the Supporting Files in the Xcode navigation panel.
I did delete it and re-built the app. Voila, no more code signing fault!
Thanks, guys, for your kind attention to this question, and all the questions people ask.
I have a similar situation explain on this thread (XCode 5 Storyboard Internal Inconsistencies), but I installed the final version of the Xcode and never installed any beta version. Additionally, I can't add comments in previous thread cause I don't have enough points. So i need to ask my specific case.
In XCode 5, I have a problem with all of my projects "The document 'main.storyboard' has X internal inconsistencies that were found and repaired. Please save this document to fix the inconsistencies."
If you choose to list the inconsistencies, you see that it's saying that some Images in my resources section, that uses this image, and is duplicating in the Storyboard. I try to save the document, but it does nothing, and when I relaunch the project, I get the same error.
I try all this things with NO SUCCESS:
I delete all duplicates in storyboardFile file.
Drop the image file from my project and add again.
Reconnect UIButtons with the problem image.
Change the image name file.
In my research, also I create a new project in XCode 5, add a same image in two objects inside Storyboard and got the same message.
Anyone have the similar problem?, and more important, anyone have a solution?
I have XCode 5 and OSX 10.8.5.
**** UPDATE *****
I found a workaround. The error is generated when one image inside the storyboard is used several times, if you delete the reference of the image and assign the image to the object by code, the error disappears, but I don't like it. I'll research a little more, but apparently is a bug from Xcode (I hope not).
This problem occurred for me Xcode 10.1 but was resolved. The error message provided a "Show Details" button.
Clicking on Show Details showed my problem, a duplicate.
Right-clicked on the identified storyboard (Main.storyboard) to open as source code.
Searched for the duplicate declarations and removed one of the duplicates.
The error message no longer occurs including when the storyboard is reopened.
An easy way to fix this problem is to open up the Storyboard in TextEdit, then go down to the resources section at the end and delete any duplicate entries for images you see. They're sorted alphabetically, so it's fairly simple to do.
Saved the file, loaded up XCode and no more error messages.
I upgraded to Xcode 5 last night and am experiencing multiple issues, including the one you described above. I also seem to have found a workaround, albeit different from the one you found.
To get rid of it I saved the project, closed it, opened a different project and ran it in the simulator, quit Xcode then reloaded the original project.
Error message no longer appeared.
I have no idea why but this seems to have solved it for me.
Now to tackle the other niggles......... :-/
Same error today after upgrading to Xcode 5: internal inconsistencies relating to images that are used more than once in storyboard, but I found a solution that worked for me here: https://devforums.apple.com/message/883402#883402.
I created a new Asset Catalog (New file / choose "Resource" / Asset Catalog).
Once created, I selected the option 'Import from project' and imported all my images. Seems to have done the trick.
After installing Mavericks and Xcode 5.0.1 the problem was fixed.
Try to find under inferredMetricsTieBreakers section at the end of the storyboard unused segue references in the whole document as in the photo
I've been having this problem for a couple weeks now. All of a sudden this happened to my project and I havent been able to fix it. Its a basic tab-bar app and i've barely even started heavy coding on it. Running xcode 4.6.2 (tried on 4.6 and 4.6.1 also).
The actual error says:
"Cannot run on the selected destination
The selected destination does not support the architecture for which the selected software is built. Switch to a destination that supports that architecture in order to run the selected software."
Thanks in advance.
Well here's my new fix: I had (for some reason) changed the highlighted line below:
I had changed the ${EXECUTABLE_NAME} to something else. Changing it back did not fix the issue immediately: I had to first click the + to add a new row then delete the new row.
My app runs fine now
OLD FIX:
OK, so yes, it's true, there are other questions like this one. They helped me figure out a different (and stranger) solution.
I right-clicked on my .xcodeproj file and chose "Show Package Contents"
I then opened "project.pbxproj"
I copied all the text from it to another file, deleted all the text from it and saved
This "crashed" my XCode Project that I had accidentally left open in XCode.
I closed my project, then pasted the original contents of "project.pbxproj" back into "project.pbxproj"
I saved "project.pbxproj" and closed it
After opening my XCode Project again, I was able to run it on my device!
To me, it doesn't make sense why this worked because I didn't modify an files... But it did, so hurrah!
PS
Back up your project beforehand, just in case.
EDIT: Well mine has stopped working again and I can't use the above method to fix it...
Coming from a background of Visual Studio I had no idea how good that IDE truly was until I had to work with Xcode. One of the more pressing oddities that it has just thrown up is the following.
I'm upgrading a project to a retina display and so have to add a bunch of new #X2 files. This is fine, I have the files and I go into Xcode, choose the project group where I want to add them, select them all and click 'Add'.
"Multiple errors occured" Xcode helpfully blurts and then returns to whatever it was doing before. No break down of what those errors might be, or what actually happened or why.
So I do some looking and some of the files are actually in the directory but Xcode ignores them, I can't figure out a way of adding them (it says they're already there!) but they won't appear in the xcode project.
Can I 'refresh' xcode so it looks in the directory and shows them?
==============================
PS. While I'm here and can rant a little, anyone with a VS background now using Xcode, am I wrong in thinking the following points are hugely annoying:
1) The debugger - frustratingly slow.
2) The file explorer - can't easily sort by name
3) The file explorer - column on the right listing the file names doesn't change the file highlight when you move from file to file within the editor window.
4) Adding files to a project - see above!
Some of these probably stem from lack of experience with the IDE but still, they irk.
Files in the XCode directories don't necessarily have to be in the project.
For some reason, XCode doesn't like overwriting files, and that's the warning message that I usually get when this happens too - "Multiple errors occured."
What I suggest you do is remove all of the #2x files from your project directory, and add them back into XCode using "Add Files..." Make sure you select "Copy files into project directory if necessary" though, otherwise they will just be referenced to their current location on disk.
I've loaded a project in Xcode 4 after not looking at it for a while. Xcode shows its progress bar and indicates in text that the project is loading, and it appears to finish, but then there are no files shown in the hierarchy or flat views. There is nothing showing in any view (except for one breakpoint in the breakpoints view).
Any ideas? Xcode gives me zero indication that anything is wrong, it shows me nothing.
I just had the same issue. After a few hours scratching my head and trying all kind of things, I finally found a fix: remove the whole package 'project.xcworkspace' inside the XXXXX.xcodeproj package.
More specifically, when you find the 'XXXXX.xcodeproj' file, right-click it, and select 'Show Package Contents'. This will get you inside the package where you will find the 'package.xcworkspace' file. It is best to do this while the Xcode project is closed.
Maybe that will work for you or for others with the same issue in the future...
Some of the project views have the "Recently Changed" filter icon. For me the problem was: i had that enabled in the Project Navigator, so it was only showing the files i recently changed. It looks like this.
I'm using Xcode 6.1 though.
I had a similar issue. After archiving a project the files would disappear from the project navigator.
It turned out that somehow XCode had added the word "main" to the searchbar below the project navigator so that almost all files where invisible. Quite frustrating.
It might be the same case for you..
For those who make it here, I was opening a older version of a similar iOS project after upgrading to the latest XCode (6.2), and was seeing the symptoms labeled in this question (missing files, folders etc.)
My solution: at the bottom left of the screen, unselecting 'Show only files with source-control status" which happened to be set on (it's blue when on). The icon looks like a 4-pt star inside a square.
remove the whole package 'project.xcworkspace' inside the XXXXX.xcodeproj package. may cause to any other error so please ignore and trying finally
You can quit xcode and reload again your project it help you
This happened to me when I tried to do an alt-tab, on a VM running in TeamViewer in Windows - Click the search bar below, enter delete multiple times and the invisible search term cleared up
I had the same issue. Besides the answers above, it could also be that you have already accidentally opened the project in another Xcode window... Close that and reopen everything and it should work.
