Xcode 8 automatic build when editing - xcode

I'm using both Xcode 8 and 8.1 beta (8T61a) and when I write anything, even a single space, Xcode builds automatically the entire project, It's very annoying and make my Mac really slow I disabled "Live build" option in General setting, but nothing changes
Does someone else have this strange issue ?

You need to disable "Automatically Refresh Views" from the Editor section.It is happening because, as soon as you type anything, XCode refreshes the views as they might change due to any changes in code.

Items in Root.plist are not display in settings. iOS9/Xcode7-beta5

None of my settings options are appearing for my project in iOS9. This happens not only with my project that has been converted to swift 2.0 but also the app from TestFlight which is Swift 1.2 compiled from Xcode 6. Is this an iOS 9 issue?
My problem is similar to this one. However, my setting never appear, even on the first launch.
Any ideas? Has anyone else come across this problem? Any input is welcome.
I found a solution to my problem here in the apple dev forums.
"My settings were blank, too, even though they were fine in the simulator. I ended up having to reset ALL settings and performing a full restore. This was a PITA, since it required re-entering passwords and my thumbprints. I sure don't want my users to have to go through this after the ios9 GM release"

iOS 8 today extension - recompile

I create an extension for my app in iOS 8 and it is displayed correctly under the Today tab.
However when I make a change to the extension (either a UI change in the Storyboard, a UI change in viewDidLoad code, or some changes in the widgetPerformUpdateWithCompletionHandler method), there's nothing that is changed when I recompile. The only way I can make the changes to appear is to delete the app from the device/simulator then compile/install again. Restarting XCode (I work with XCode 6 beta 4) / restarting the computer does not help.
How can I fix the bug?
How am I supposed to debug the extension, because setting breakpoints does not seem to do anything and no NSLog messages are printed to the console (I suppose, since it's a different target).
It's a known bug, read the release notes for iOS 8b5.
Debugging (and NSLog) works in Xcode but not always (known bugs). You can still attach the debugger if Xcode cannot attach himself (Debug -> Attach to process)
For me, the simulator works better than real device, so use the simulator until things got better.
2 tips:
Close the simulator at end of debugging (i have a script for auto closing the simulator when i press STOP in Xcode, tell me if you want it).
When you launch the plugin process in simulator, wait for "All applications" display list, if you click "Run" before the list are loaded, the debugger won't attach.

How to disable Xcode 5 Source Control from terminal / command line?

I am using Xcode 5.0.2 and yesterday I did nothing special but used its source control function to check out and update from svn.
Today, Xcode continues crashing over and over again when it launches. I googled a solution that is disabling the source control in Xcode's Preference.
But since it crashes when it launches, I don't have change to go into the Preference Panel to do the operations.
So is there command that I can do in Terminal to disable the source control of Xcode?
!!!UPDATE:
actually this is not the real problem I ran into. I thought my Xcode crash because of the source control issue. So I send this post and got an answer quickly. Thanks #zzyclark .
But after I did as the post in the link said, my Xcode still crash. I've used other way and got the problem done.
I am gonna keep this post for the people who really want to disable Xcode source control in Terminal.
But if the admin think this is not the propriety. You could delete this post.
rather than close it in terminal, can u check this. This is used to disable the version control of xcode 4 by modifying the file name extension.Can you disable version control integration in Xcode 4

Cannot find executable for CFBundle CertUIFramework.axbundle

Just updated to Xcode 5 and this is the first error its throwing on the logger for all my apps. Can't seem to understand why this is happening.
2013-09-19 10:46:54.341 MyApp[1156:a0b] Cannot find executable
for CFBundle 0x8a7c7a0 </Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/
iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator7.0.sdk/
System/Library/AccessibilityBundles/CertUIFramework.axbundle> (not loaded)
Edit (11-11-2013): To everyone reading, once I waiting for a solid working solution to accept and close. The highest voted answer works until you re-open the project only.
Edit (30-09-2014): I can see this has been sorted since XCode 6 has been released! Finally
Final Edit-
Temporary workaround: click iOS Simulator > Reset Content and
Settings... and run again.
This error message may reappear at random. For me, it happens when I
launch a different application. There are several threads in Apple dev
forums and in StackOverflow about this problem, but none have a
definitive answer. This seems to be a SDK error to be fixed in the
next Xcode version.
Updated: October 3.

Further Edit
Although this was potentially the issue resolution at the time. I believe some of the newer answers below relating to the better touch tool are in fact the correct resolutions.
After reading Kirill's answer I did some digging as I didn't want to disable BetterTouchTool for everything just the "iOS Simulator" and you can.
Open the "iOS Simulator" and will it as the active app go to the BTT drop-down menu from the top bar (of that screen if you have more than one) and select "Disable BTT for Current App". It will turn to a play icon when it's disabled.
Make sure the app name on the bar is still "iOS Simulator" as mine jumped to "Finder" a few times when I clicked the top bar!
Now re-set the simulator (if it doesn't work) and rebuild. You shouldn't get the error! :)
Don't forget to clear the error if it's still there. ;)
BTT seems to remember what apps it's disabled for (or at least it does when you close and re-open the app that's disabled I haven't tried a system re-boot yet).
Its easy. Go iOS simulator and reset content and setting.
Thanks
If you are using XCode-5 then just reset the simulator "Reset Content and Settings" and run once again
So I was having this error too in Xcode 5 and 5.1. I wanted to figure out if it's Xcode bug or something else, so I did a fresh install of Mavericks 10.9.2 and Xcode 5.1. Everything seemed fine after multiple tests.
Here is where the problem began. I put the apps and settings that I mostly use and the error came back. So I deleted everything and started adding everything one by one. After couple days I had bingo! The problem is with BetterSnapTool and BetterTouchTool
Update 12.12.2014
Just started using Xcode 6.1 and noticed that this bug seems to be gone at least with Xcode 6.1 simulators and BTT 0.9985 versions.
Update:
As GasB pointed out, it is possible to disable BTT for certain apps. So just disable it for iOS Simulator. You just have to remember not to use gestures while using the simulator as that triggers the error message.
Simple solution:
Remove the ticks in preference pane, reset simulator and do clean build. The error message will disappear.

I had the same problem and solved it setting the 'Localization native development region' to match my systems region. In my case from 'en' to 'de'. The referenced files are stored in localized versions in your filesystem. So this setting is used to identify the needed version.
You can find that setting in your project settings at 'Info' -> 'Custom iOS Target Properties'.
Resetting the simulator ‘fixes’ it because it turns the accessibility support off. You can normally achieve the same by simply disabling the ‘Accessibility Inspector’ in the ‘Settings’ app.
If, however, you need it enabled, particularly hate this error message, and are feeling adventurous then you can use the following monkey patches to silence the error: https://gist.github.com/alloy/9277316. (Be sure to NOT include this in your release builds.)
Resetting the simulator is a PITA, I found a way to get rid of these messages without having to to this:
go to Settings > Accessibility
turn on Accessibility Inspector
turn off Accessibility Inspector
quit Simulator
I had this problem with Xcode 5 in ML 10.8.5
I re-installed Mountain Lion (in a Parallels' VM), then update ML to 10.8.5.
Then installrd Xcode 5, and it's worked fine.
I think that the error is caused by a third SW installed in ML.
The application Moom is also causing this issue, and I couldn't find a way to disable it for just the iOS Simulator. So for now I disabled it's accessibility features.
I'm on Mavericks (10.9.3) and encountered the same error in xCode(5.1.1).
I tried anything - reinstalling xCode from both AppStore and dmg. Resetting the emulator resulted in the same error and deleting the Simulator SDK folder gave no results too.
The issue on my end was indeed Moom as mentioned by #aorcsik! Disabling it's accessibility, followed by clean (cmd+shift+k) in xCode cleared the error.
Open Disk Utility and apply Repair Disk Permissions in Macintosh HD.
After doing above step, apply Reset Contents and Settings in iOS Simulator.
This above solution can definitely fix your problem.
I had this problem, and none of the answers in this thread could fix it. Mine was simple UI with a UIDatePicker. I resolved it by removing the UIDatePicker and the associated code, then added them in again. Problem solved!
For me it was Keyboard Maestro, adding the simulator to Maestro's exclude list silenced the warnings

Unable to build using Xcode 4 - The selected run destination is not valid for this action

So I'm horribly confused by this error, other threads on Stack Overflow mention I should set the SDK, but I see no option to do this. I'm trying to build:http://wafflesoftware.net/shortcut/
And I get no options, and I can only choose My Mac 64-bit, and I want it in 32-bit. Really beginning to hate Xcode 4.
Here is the screenshot when I try to edit my scheme: http://groovyape.com/scheme.png
Thoughts?
Firstly, I have observed that when Xcode 4 decides my Mac is 64 bit and all my other schemes have vanished, a restart of Xcode fixes that.
If you still have the issue after a restart, go to Manage Schemes... (under the Product Menu) and click on Autocreate Schemes now button. Try to delete the other schemes and see if you can run the project now.
However, if the issue is that you need to set the SDK, that's different:
Click on the top-level project icon in the left hand panel
In the right hand panel that appears, select Build Settings (near the top).
Select "All" option (instead of Combined)
Ensure Base SDK is set appropriately, like "OS X 10.7".
FWIW I'm seriously considering reverting to Xcode 3.2.5 at the moment, 4 seems horrendously buggy.
In xCode 4.4.1, use Validate Settings to solve the problem!
I can select either 32bit or 64bit now.
Ran into the same error message ("The selected run destination is not valid for this action") when attempting to use XCode 4 to build/run a tiny Objective-C "Hello, World" project I created in XCode 3.x. Fixed it by choosing to "Manage Schemes..." from the drop-down menu to the right of the Stop button, deleting the one scheme on the list (click checkbox beside the scheme, then click the "-" button at the bottom left), and then clicking "Autocreate Schemes Now".
I also needed to change the "Base SDK" from 10.5 to 10.6, by clicking on 'folder' icon (beneath the Run button), clicking the root/top of the tree view below it, clicking on the blue icon below "PROJECT" in the pane just to the right, and then finally, choosing "Latest Mac OS X (Mac OS X 10.6)" to the right of that.
I had this issue today. I found switching Base SDK from Latest iOS (4.3) to iOS 4.3 fixed everything.
This will happen if XCode believes your mac is a 64-bit machine, when really it's a 32-bit. If this is the case for you, simply click on your project icon from the far-left pane - it's the menu item that displays your project name next to a little blue icon. This should bring up a center pane that says "PROJECT" at the top. Highlight your project name, and the third pane should now show your build settings. The first item is "Architectures" which will allow you to specify if you are building a 32-bit or 64-bit application.
Kind of amazing that none of the answers here solved the issue for me, but I figured it out. Forget restarting Xcode, or using Autocreate Schemes, still only 64-bit will show up as a valid destination in the scheme.
The correct solution is to change the Architecture for your project. Go to Build Settings (in the root node of your project), and change Architecture to 32-bit Intel, it's right above the Base SDK setting. Destination will instantly switch to "My Mac 32-bit". HTH somebody.
It sounds as if you're trying to run (Cmd-R or run button) the framework (which you can't do - it's not an executable, just a library) rather than simply build it (Cmd-B).
I had this issue and maybe it was a coincidence but when I restarted XC4 but this time didn't choose to load my project from the popup window that appears on launch - instead choosing it explicitly from the File menu - the issue didn't occur and the build started ok.
On the 3 or 4 occasions I had this error, I had chosen to load the project from the popup window that appears when XC4 first loads.
As I say, I might have just got lucky, but I certainly didn't make any other changes to the projects to 'fix' the issue.
I found a good practice for moving from Xcode 3.2.X to Xcode 4 is, to remove any references to older SDKs (in the case of Mac OS to remove any Base SDK Ref, etc., for Mac OS <= 10.5, in the case of iOS I think you need to remove everything <= 4.3) PRIOR to upgrading to Xcode 4.
I never experienced any problems for new Projects, created in Xcode 4, only for such that where created with Xcode 3.X or 2.X
Xcode 4.5. I was trying to compile for 10.6. It seemed to be stuck on 64 bit just because it couldn't find the sdk. I didn't get any message about it not finding the sdk.
I first tried to put in the correct path to /Developer-3.2.6/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk but xcode didn't want to find it there. Then I copied that folder into 4.5 next to the other OSX Platform sdk (new location I think just look in the bundle).
And magically my 32 bit came back.
So my conclusion is that the 32/64 bit option is really dependent on whether xcode can verify the sdk that you're trying to use. Being stuck at 64 while trying to compile for 32 gives the error without notifying you that its first issue is that the sdk can't be found.
I fixed this by deleting my xcuserdata in my Project file. Not sure how it got corrupt. But it worked for everyone else in the office, deleting the xcuserdata did the trick. I made sure Xcode was closed while doing so. Just for fun, make sure you delete your DerivedData folder for the app, and do a build clean for superstitious folks.
If this happened after you renamed your app, go to Schemes -> Edit Scheme -> Run <YourApp> -> Info
Select the right executable file (YourApp.app)
Another way is to select None as executable and then reselect the YourApp.app from your Debug-iPhoneOS folder.
