Command swiftc crashes on Xcode10 - swift

I need to do some non-trivial refactoring in a mixed objc & swift project.
But after some code editing, the new Xcode10 compiler crashes every time.
I'm sure there are some errors in my refactored code, but the compiler is not able to show where. It just says :
Command /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/swiftc failed with exit code 1
So frustrating! Impossible to debug!
Of course, I updated the whole project to Swift 4.2, so I cannot roll back to Xcode 9.4 :(
Is this a bug? Is there some compilation parameters to make swiftc giving better errors?
Thanks
EDIT: just tried with Xcode 10.1 (beta), and the same problem persists.
EDIT2: after investigations, it seems the problem occurs when I import the objc generated interface header file (the one generally finishing with *-Swift.h). Still no solution.

Unity framework for SwiftUI "Oddly Stepping" error in iOS 16.1

I am using Unity as a library for SwiftUI quite a while now. However when updating to the newest iOS version (16.1) it stopped working. Compiling runs without a problem but during runtime I get an error when Unity is starting:
in:
I even started a completely new project with Unity included to SwiftUI and get the same error. As this is some kind of assembler code and I certainly do not know how to read it I don't really know where I have to start searching.
In the console I get: "warning: UnityFramework was compiled with optimization - stepping may behave oddly; variables may not be available." I tried several ways to turn off optimization as described in related questions which did not work. When unchecking "Debug" in the scheme options the project starts normally
A similar thing happened to me. I'm not entirely sure if it's the same problem but in the console, I got a message saying UnityFramework is running optimized and may behave oddly. Unfortunately, I've tried a couple of ways to disable optimization but I've yet to find a solution.
For now, I'm able to bypass this error by disabling the debugger entirely. In order to do this, you have to go to Product -> Scheme -> Edit Scheme and uncheck debug executable.
I'm not sure if this will work for you but I figured it'd be worth a shot!

Why is DateFormatter.date always returning nil? [duplicate]

I just noticed weird behaviour of Xcode11, I am executing same code in Xcode 10 and Xcode 11.
See the below attached screenshot for both the versions.
I am creating a url from String, When I put a debugger and check the value of myUrl it shows nil although at very next line it passes nil check and control goes into the not nil case.
See the console too.
have anyone already faced this type of issue? or I am doing something wrong.
P.S: Already Cleared cache, derived data, clean build, restart Xcode. don't confuse with the breakpoint's location, both are captured with different system.
Thanks in advance.
This is a known bug, affecting LLDB (the Xcode debugger) as well as the REPL. It's purely a matter of display:
https://github.com/apple/llvm-project/issues/4477
https://github.com/apple/llvm-project/issues/4479
And see:
Instantiated optional variable shows as nil in Xcode debugger
An easy workaround for now is to pass thru the bridged Objective C type. The bug is only with the Swift Foundation overlay type. So in this case just cast to NSURL.
So for example:
But:
This bug is slated to be fixed in Xcode 12.5.
I am using an answer since for the comment would be too long, but
would be more appropriate.
I am currently (catalina, xcode 11.1) facing many similar issues, beside a general slow down of the debugger.
To be sure anyway:
check that in the target build settings the compile time optimization is disabled for debug: Optimization Level -O0 (the var may be optimized away)
this solved some of my issues as well (disabling the diagnostic made lldb a bit faster and solved issues with p/po and collecting the stacktrace): Xcode 11 extremely slow - A known problem?

Use of undeclared identifier assert Xcode

I'm using Xcode 4.5 and LLVM 4.1 to compile some code I'm working on.
The error I am getting repeatedly is:
"error: use of undeclared identifier 'assert';
The right includes are in the header (#include cassert (I have also tried #include assert.h) but no luck.
Someone else has taken my exact code and compiled it on another computer running the same setup (Mac OSX 10.8, Xcode 4.5, LLVM 4.1).
I had exactly the same errors as yours. For my case, it turns out that there was another assert.h on the include path (CMake introduced erroneous include path for gmplib. I spotted the wrong include path when make VERBOSE=1). Not sure whether it is the same case here. LLVM itself should not have any problem with such an old header file.
Are these errors happening in boost code? If so, you can turn off assertions (and get rid of your error) by including the following preprocessor definition in your build settings.
BOOST_DISABLE_ASSERTS
Ran into this today, I had Always Search User Paths turned on.

Xcode "Use of undeclared identifier" errors, compiles/runs just fine

I've got an incredibly annoying issue that is hampering my workflow. In my project I have "User of undeclared identifier" errors all over. They are all in reference to a single class, specifically a Theme class. I checked for any circular referencing with my imports, none. I'm really confused.
Here is a screenshot of the errors. I would post errors in the Build Log for more detail, but there aren't any. It builds and runs just fine...
I've tried cleaning, deleting the derived data... Any ideas?
I was having the same problem and noticed that all of the undeclared identifiers were declared in files that were in my pch file.
With this in mind I deleted one of the #import lines from the pch file and recompiled which failed as expected. I then put the deleted line back in, recompiled and it compiled normally with all the false errors gone.
Hopefully this simple solution helps a few of you out if the above solutions don't.
These kinds of errors are quite common with Xcode, unfortunately. It would be great if it would auto-refresh its error list all the time, but it doesn't always. When this happens, I strongly suggest that you restart Xcode, which will flush its error cache and hopefully solve your issues.
How are you including this class? In most cases I just include the class explicitly in header and/or body - instead of the *.pch file. Then this error goes away in my case.
Also deleting the derived data workes once in a while. Did you change the location in preferences recently by any chance. I also got this error when I use a ramdisk for derived data and then go back to default. This is the most annoying case - since it causes this error to appear then in almost every file.
This error seems to happen more often in Xcode 4.4 than the prior versions.
Have you included the library files correctly? Take a look at that. Sometimes ARC issues might occur if we don't include the correct file, or something's missing or not connecting UI.
For me the issue was that I created UnityInterface.h/m file to handle the obj-c to c# interface. UnityInterface.h is already defined by Unity. I renamed my own UnityInterface to _UnityInterface and now everything works.
Just posting this for anyone who might have this problem later and doesn't find any of these solutions to work:
If you have any pragma marked #if statements that only execute if the program is in debug mode it will obviously cause anything declared inside of them to not be declared when you try to archive/export.
I had the same problem. Closing and opening XCode didn't help.
I solved it by checking errors in other targets and fixing them (I had tons of errors in my unit testing target). Also I moved header links from h files to m files. But I'm pretty sure, that the first thing was critical.
For others who experienced the same problem and tried all solution above with no result, perhaps you should try something like I did. I solved the problem simply by unplugging my iPhone USB cable from my Mac and then replugged again those cable. After that, rebuilt again and all undeclared identifier errors were gone.
I had the same error. In my case, it was on this line of code:
- (void)playerItemDidReachEnd:(NSNotification *)notification {
// some code
}
My error message said:
Use of undeclared identifier 'playerItemDidReachEnd'
I tried added this line to the .h file:
- (void)playerItemDidReachEnd:(NSNotification *)notification;
I cleaned it, I re-booted my macbook, and I was still getting the error.
Finally, I decided to try to delete the line in the .h file. I then pasted it into a text file, and then copied and pasted it back in to the .h file.
Now I cleaned and VOILA' !!! no more errors. Go figure. This happens sometimes in VBA. Somehow there seems to be unseen formatting in a line of code. So I thought it might be happening with xCode. Cutting it out, pasting into a text file, cutting out of the text file, and pasting it back in right where it was - fixed it in my case.
---- UPDATE -----
The above was posted as my answer. Apologies, apparently there's something else wrong.
After cleaning - my ERRORS were gone. Now I tried to build and run my app. THE ERRORS CAME BACK! So this time I re-created the class files after cutting out all the text, and pasting it into a text file. I did it for both my .m and .h files. But now the errors are back again after trying to run. SORRY. I don't know how to delete this text altogether cuz it is not an answer.
Tried to build and run my app. THE ERRORS CAME BACK!
There was also an error msg that I was missing a bracket ( } ). Finally I looking at the method just before this method, and sure enought it was missing the ending bracket! That was it!
Might be little late in answering.
I had this issue very recently. I fix this by updating my OS and then updating Xcode. I tried updating Xcode alone but did not happen because Xcode 9.4 requires OS High Sierra 10.13.*
Happy Updating :)
It it compile time error
Use of undeclared identifier '<class_name>'
I was run into this issue when developing own framework and app. Objective-C consumer -> Objective-C static framework
Report Navigator had a clear description
umbrella header for module '<module_name>' does not include header '<class_name>.h'
The solution was just to add #import <class_name>.h into umbrella header in a framework target
Try to click Product -> Analyze, after that to Product -> Build. This helped for me.

SQlite 3 error when compiling in iOS 5

I am experiencing the following error while compiling my code with iOS5.With previous version it seems fine
/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator5.0.sdk/usr/include/sqlite3.h:230:24: error: redefinition of 'sqlite3' as different kind of symbol [3]
any suggestions
I have the same problem. I discovered that when I change the "Compiler for C/C++/Objective-C" from "Apple LLVM compiler 3.0" back to "LLVM GCC 4.2" the error disappears. (but that's not the preferred iOS 5 setting)
Also it seems that sqlite3 is now included by default in iOS 5.0, which might cause the redefinition error when you included the sqlite3 as a framework in your project. But even when I removed the framework from my project, the error kept appearing (but only 2 instead of 4 this time).
I just had the same problem. My issue was that I had used a forward declaration in my header file. This conflicted with a line of code in sqlite3.h:
typedef struct sqlite3 sqlite3;
Rather than using forward declaration, simply use #import <sqlite3> in the header file to avoid this issue.
(I realize that this may not have been the problem in your case, Qamar, but I'm posting it for those future coders who encounter this bug)
