Getting dyld_fatal_error after updating to Xcode 6 beta 4 using swift - swift

Question

I just recently downloaded Xcode 6 beta 4, and my swift project compiles with no errors but before it gets to my code I get a dyld_fatal_error just above start in the call stack.
and a breakpoint in some assembly code with a nop instruction
The console error I get is
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: __TFSsa6C_ARGVGVSs13UnsafePointerGS_VSs4Int8__

Just so you know the project still compiles, and runs fine with Xcode 6 beta 3.

Answer 1

Most extremely weird problems like this can be solved with a Clean & Build (or perhaps relaunch Xcode). You might also consider deleting the relevant folders from ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData.

Answer 2

For sure this error is very unhelpful:
dyld`dyld_fatal_error:
-> 0x1200ad088 <+0>: brk #0x3
This of course occurs only on device, not the simulator. Another good reason to always test on a device.
Anyway, having had the same issue, a clean didn't work for me. Deleting DerivedData didn't help either. Also tried synchronising the Deployment Target versions. That didn't seem make any difference but I did it anyway.
Solution was to add any dynamic frameworks to Embedded Binaries setting under Target -> General:
Now I know that has been mentioned in other answers. However, if I can supplement by saying that any dependent dynamic frameworks must also be included.
So for example if you have a dynamic framework A that depends upon dynamic framework B, then it's necessary to have A and B added to Embedded Binaries.
Note that if the dynamic framework A depends upon any static library or framework, you will almost certainly be forced to create A as an umbrella framework that includes the dependant binaries.
Other considerations that may or may not be important. However did personally for me result in success were;
paths of each dynamic library in the Inspector were set to "Relative
to Group". In the screen grab above the path of the embedded binary
appears correct terminating with "build/Debug-iphoneos".
dynamic frameworks are in embedded binaries section. Static libs and
static libs wrapped up as frameworks are in Linked Frameworks
and Libraries. Nothing appears in both sections.
In setting this up XCode behaved strangely. The following proved successful:
Add the dynamic framework to the embedded binaries.
Find the new framework in XCode groups on the left and update the path to be
"Relative to Group" as described previously.
Delete the dynamic framework from embedded binaries.
Add the dynamic framework to the embedded binaries again. The path should now appear correctly.
Delete all references to the dynamic framework from the Linked Frameworks
and Libraries section.

I have just had this problem trying to link a custom iOS framework to my project, so for anyone out there who has this problem, it's to do with the copy files build phase.
I think that this error results when a file cannot be found. So create a copy files build phase in the appropriate target in your project. Then add the file (in my case the custom framework) to this phase (if it's a framework make sure to select the 'Frameworks' destination).

Answer 4

Cleaning, restarting, deleting etc didn't work for me.
I have a project containing another project. When I ran the project on iOS 7 and the contained project was accessed in code, the app stopped at the line below:
After many days, I saw that the deployment target for the container project was 7.0 (as can be seen below).
The contained project on the other hand, had a deployment target of 8.1 (as can be seen below).
Changing the deployment target of the contained project to 7.0 solved my problem!
The project was working fine on iOS 8 devices.

Answer 5

I had this issue recently and the problem for me was that I had added a library from the same project which wasn't listed in 'Embedded Binaries' from the 'General' section.
NOTE: If you add it in Embedded Binaries it will also add to the Linked Libraries section, possibly adding the same one twice.

Answer 6

Clean and build won't work. You'll need to delete he cache in ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode* directories. Delete these and rebuild.
Do this every time you upgrade the beta.

Answer 7

I also faced the same issue and tried all the solution given above without any luck.
then what I have done to resolve that I really don’t have much I idea about. So there is Certificated called “apple worldwide developer relations certificate authority” in System group in keychain Access and due to some profile and certificate issue I randomly mark this certificate “Always trusted” from “Use System Defaults”. So this is causing this “dyld_fatal_error” crash to me. when I revert it back to “Use System Defaults” crash got resolved.
So guys if you are tried all the possible option to resolve this crash and didn’t succeed yet, try this also. It helped me, may help you as well.
Found this about this certificate.

Answer 8

This problem still occurs in Xcode 7, and it can happen for a variety of reasons (it seems). In my case, the iOS app with an included framework:
ran on the simulator fine
gave the error you described on the device
The answer was to NOT use linked libraries but rather Embedded Binaries under General.

Answer 9

Adding the non-system Framework to "Embedded Binaries" inside the general tab of the main project worked for me.
As stated by bitwit, this will also add your framework to "Linked Frameworks and Libraries", so watch out for those duplicates.
Tested with Xcode 7.3.

Answer 10

Xcode 8.
Clean and build didn't work. I deleted the cache, deleted Derived data. After that, my pods configuration was broken, so i needed to install pods again. Pods Target configuration was set to a very old Valid architectures. setting to armv7 and armv7s, was ok to compile and no problems

Answer 11

You'll get this if your scheme has "Guard Edges" enabled in diagnostics when running on an actual device. "Guard Edges" only works in the simulator.

Answer 12

I was using cocoapods and had this problem as well when I updated to deploy target iOS 8 and added use_frameworks! to my Podfile. I was able to fix it by adding the following line to my Podfile:
link_with 'TargetName1', 'TargetName2', etc.
Might work with ProjectName as well
