Xcode SDK Version Issue - swift

I'm having a bit of an issue with distributing an app via the latest version of Xcode (Version 10.1 (10B61)). Every time I try to upload it to the App Store via organizer, I get this error after uploading:
WARNING ITMS-90725: "SDK Version Issue. This app was built with the iOS 12.0 SDK. Starting March 2019, all iOS apps submitted to the App Store must be built with the iOS 12.1 SDK or later, included in Xcode 10.1 or later."
Previous answers to this question said that it was just a warning and that I should still be able to upload my app, but it is now March and I am still getting the error even on 10.1. iTunesConnect will not let me select these builds and I get emails about the validation failure.
Further details:
-The app is an iMessage extension, and uses exactly 1 framework from Carthage, which is up to date with the latest framework version and Carthage version.
-My project and Message extension targets Swift Language Version build setting is Swift 4.2.
-My deployment target is iOS 11.0, but the issue persists after selecting iOS 12.1.
-The app compiles and runs fine on my physical device running iOS 12.1.
-The issue persists after a build folder clean.
-The issue persists after reinstalling Xcode.
If anyone has any suggestions as to how I can verify my app is compiling with the latest SDK please let me know.

Whether the app runs on given iOS version, has no relevance to which SDK are you really using. The definitive SDK version used for building is found in the app's Info.plist.
after Archiving, Show the xcarchive in Finder.
right-click, Show Package Contents.
open Products/Applications/YourApp.app
right-click, Show Package Contents.
copy the Info.plist to some place where you can run terminal commands on it
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "print :DTSDKBuild" Info.plist
You would expect it to show "16B91" for SDK 12.1. If it's something else (SDK 12.0 would be "16A366"), here are some ideas:
inspect the Carthage dependency. Are you really building it locally or downloading a prebuilt binary? If in doubt, force local building with --no-use-binaries. Remove whole Carthage folder (Checkouts as well as Build) and start from scratch.
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData instead of just "build folder clean"
Verify MacOS System Report section Software/Developer for the actual SDK versions that MacOS thinks that you have
xcode-select -p to verify that you are really using the Xcode instance that you would like to
If all looks correct on your side, fill Technical Support Incident. Report the exact rejected build which you uploaded already. That should speed up the support reaction.

I filled out a bug report with Apple because I was experiencing the exact same issue and none of the above solutions worked. They made a change on their backend and now everything is back to proper working order.
If you haven't tried in awhile, make another attempt and I'm betting that it'll work this time.

I was having the same problem. My app was compiled in Xcode 10.1 but I was still getting the SDK warning. I was able to resolve it by doing the following. I'm not sure if all these steps are necessary. I didn't try validating between steps.
I upgraded macOS to Mojave (10.14.3). I had been running High Sierra.
Delete Xcode from applications folder
Reinstall Xcode from the app store
Open my project and run Project->Clean Build folder
Archive and upload and no more warnings

Swift Package Manager gets stuck indefinitely upon adding new package [duplicate]

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.
⚠️ Important note for developers like me!

If you The page you’re looking for can’t be found message, you may need to use a VPN if you are in a country that the US sanctioned like mine. Because Apple is blocking some IP address ranges.
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.

Getting error code -10670 when running a Mac Catalyst app in Xcode

I am developing an app for iOS and also using Mac Catalyst to run on my Mac. The app runs fine on my iPhone but always shows an error on Catalyst. The code used to run fine before updating to Big Sur Beta 6 from Beta 5. Here's a screenshot of the error: . Also the error in code blocks for anybody who wants to copy it.

Faced same issue after upgrading to macOS 11 Beta 6. Reported bug to Apple but meanwhile found workaround - Select Product in Xcode, select 'Show in Finder'. Launch it from Finder. Additional step, hopefully Apple will look into it.
The problem is solved with new Mac OS 11.0 Beta (20A5374g).
If your catalyst app has multi-window support, you may still need to kill your existing app before launching the new one.
I also had the same problem. (I say had, I guess I still do, however I have a workaround) My App had been developed as iOS / iPadOS with Mac support. All has been working great throughout macOS 11 beta builds. Until today that is, when I, as you, updated to Beta 6. Upon attempting to run for macOS target I get the same error as you have posted.
After some googling I found https://www.virusbulletin.com/uploads/pdf/conference_slides/2015/Wardle-VB2015.pdf and had a go at simply opening the app directly from the build folder. Hey presto, it opened without any problems, I even cleaned out the build folder and built it again to make sure.
This would appear to be a problem that the next version of Xcode beta should fix. Until then, unless anybody can suggest a better fix, this will have to suffice for me at least :-(

I was having this same error code upon installing a Developer ID Distributed, Auto Signed version of a catalyst app on a test machine, non M1 Chip, Mac Mini(Late 2014) with MacOS Version 12.0 Beta installed.
The solution was to close the previously installed version of the app. Before opening the new version that I Airdrop over to the test Mac machine.

No iOs templates in XCode 4.2

I installed Lion, then XCode 4.2 from the app store.
As I understand, the iOs SDK should be install with this release.
My problem is, I only get the MacOs templates, no iOs templates.
What am I doing wrong? (It's taking Apple a few weeks now to process my company enrollment and I need to start coding so long).
While installing you need to check that you want to install iOS 5.X SDK, it doesn't install automatically. Re-run the "Install Xcode" application which AppStore downloaded and check to install iOS SDK
Be sure that /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform exists. If so, then iOS files were installed.
The iOS templates are contained in /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/XCode/Templates
If they are there, but are not showing up in XCode, you can try repairing disk permissions with /Applications/Utilities/"Disk Utility".
Otherwise, you may have to rename the /Developer folder and re-install.

iOS simulator only list the latest iOS version. How can I set earlier versions

According to the documentation should be able to choose which iOS version the simulator should run, however only the latest 4.3.2 is listed under "Hardware/Version".
The helps says:
"To set the iOS release used in the simulation environment, choose Hardware > Version, and choose the version you want to test on."
I don't want to support 3.x (although it would be nice) but at least I want to simulate my app on 4.2, 4.1 and 4.0.
What's going on? Why aren't they listed?
UPDATE:
I'm on Lion so I cannot install an earlier version of Xcode. Before my Upgrade I could test different versions easily.
the problem is that you have no other Simulator SDK installed which can be used. As #dorada has mentioned you have to install an older Xcode which in fact doesn't work because you're using Lion. I haven't tried it with Lion but principally it should work like before with Snow Leopard.
I'm referencing to my other answer how to get an older Xcode (don't know if it's still working)
After you have an older Xcode version, mount the image an navigate with terminal to that volume. There should be a hidden folder Packages. open that folder with open . and locate the two .pkg files you need (e.g. iPhoneSDK4_0.pkg and iPhoneSimulatorSDK4_0.pkg) and install both.
They will appear in your root directory and you have to move them to your Developer dir (don't simply overwrite, it will delete all other SDKs. go to the last different folder it should be iPhoneSimulator4.0.sdk\ and copy that one)
DONE (and at that point I have verified it: it works on my Lion. I used the dvd image which I have started backup'ing since 3.2.1)
Although iPortable has the correct answer I decided to post a step-by-step guide which is easer to follow:
Download Xcode 3.1
Mount the dmg file
In Finder menu select "Go\Go to folder" and enter "/Volumes/Xcode and iOS SDK/Packages"
Install the simulators you need (Double click)
Copy the simulation folders from /Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/ to /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/
If your have some SDK missing Install the missing SDK from "/Volumes/Xcode and iOS SDK/Packages" and copy subfolders from /Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/ to /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/ (for me they were all there from 3.1 to 4.3)
you may download the older ios sdk / xcode from . https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action
(i found this answer in another stack overflow topic actually, but now i can not seem to find that question!)
Open Xcode and in the menu at the top left, where you select what device to run on, click "More Simulators..."
The download section of Xcode preferences will open,
Click the "Components" tab.
You will see a list of simulators that can be installed, click install on version you need.
The simulator will need to restart to install.
To run the newly installed version of the simulator just select it from the run menu in Xcode.
You actually have to install previous simulator versions, they aren't there on a new install.
Maybe you can search and download them somewhere? - we keep them on a shared drive at the office.
After installing the Xcode 4.2 for Snow Leopard, I noticed there was a choice for iPad 3.2 Simulator, but using it just brings up some alerts that say "iOS Simulator could not find the SDK. The SDK may need to be reinstalled." and another alert that says "Simulated application quit. Click Relaunch to try again." with Quit, Switch SDK, and Relaunch buttons.
I can successfully use iPhone 4.0 Simulator, iPhone 4.1 Simulator, iPad 4.2 Simulator, etc up to iPad/iPhone 5.0 Simulator, but really would like to have iPad 3.2 Simulator and iPhone 3.1.3 Simulator and earlier down to 3.0 if possible.
Our apps generally run all the way back to 3.0 and we occasionally receive bug reports from earlier iOS users, and would love to be able to debug these issues more effectively.
I tried the technique summarized by Tibidabo and although I am able to copy the simulator folders as mentioned, and though they show up as choices in Xcode, I cannot get them to actually run as simulators and I get the same problem alerts mentioned above.
What are other developers doing to support debugging of older iOS versions?
Go to Project Settings -> Summary an change Deployment Target.

"Failed to upload *.app on Device " Error in iPhone

I am getting an error while uploading my app on device. It does installs it but not able to upload it.
Also I want to run the instrument tool on device but when I run it shows nothing.
Anyone facing the same issues.
I had this problem after changing around provisioning profiles and app ID's.
What fixed it for me:
Quit XCode
In Terminal.app, navigate to your project directory and execute rm -rf build/
Restart XCode
I also confirm, that I had that issue on Xcode 3.2.5 and iOS 4.2 GM Seed and after adding new provisioning profile.
You do not have to use terminal, you can select *.app from Products Group in 'Groups & Files' pane in Xcode. Then right-click on it, and select 'Reveal in finder'. Then manually delete the build catalogue. And restart Xcode.
Worked for me.
I was getting this issue on an iPhone running 3.0 software, but it was working fine on phones running 3.1. The app used to work on the 3.0 software until we added users to the provisioning for the app - this is the only thing I can think of that might have caused it.
If you're running 3.0 still, try upgrading to 3.1 and see if that fixes it.
I had the same error message in iOS 4.1 but from a different cause: when trying to link to a universal (ARM & X86) static library that was over 10MB. If I link directly to the ARM version of the static library (for iPhones), then it works fine.
Sometimes manual delete of Build folder of your application fails to solve the problem
"Failed to upload the .app on device"
Try
WIndows->organizer->Provisioning profile(in left pane)->refresh it once....
This has solved my problem!
