Anyone have an idea about this
Error launching remote program: No such file or directory (/Users/muself/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/myproject-hlelojuljidnnagbdqzliazpdgmn/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/myproject.app/myproject).
The project was working fine with the previous Xcode versions. I have just updated the Xcode to Version 4.3.2 (4E2002), & the error start coming.
I have search on the web, and tried a lot of the options like
Quit Xcode, clear the Derived Data folder, restart the Xcode.
Rename the project,
Reset the device,etc
I also tried this on another machine but did not work, the same problem occurs.
But one thing i have some other projects as well and they are working fine.
Thanks for at least reading this.
First try restarting Xcode. If it doesn't work, then try hard reset of your device. This happens to me when I change the bundle identifier of my app.
This solution,I found of the above problem its working fine for me.:)
have you tried to "validate settings" (button on the bottom of project settings)? Do you use some static libs in your app? – Vov4yk
Check your deployment target. I am running Xcode 4.5, and it gave me that cryptic message, while the reason was that my iPad is running version 5.1.1, and my app was set with deployment target of 6.0.
I also get same problem. This below solution works for me.
Thats really annoying. This error happens in a number of different situations. Sometime restarting the Xcode, fixes the problem. If not, follow these steps:
Disconnect your device.
Delete the app from your device.
Quit xcode (Don't just simply close the window, quit it)
Delete derived data folder (~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/APPNAME -gbrvhlvwmpiobxdujegtghggrffp - or something like that)
Now start Xcode, connect device and run the project. It should work fine.

Hard reset of the device fixed it for me. i.e. power off and back on.
Quitting Xcode, disconnecting, reconnecting the device etc didn't.
The error occurred just after I had created a new project with the a duplicate Bundle Identifier to another. Both apps coexist OK on the device/ in Xcode, but this does seem to cause the above issue.
I saw this when I let the build configuration set up as ad-hoc. After I put it back to Debug it worked fine.
I am facing a weird issue while running my project on the device. I see below error even though the app file is present in the mentioned path. Also the project gets copied in the device & I need to tap on app icon to launch it but it fails while launching from XCODe. Any clue - is this because of spaces in my schema name?:
error: failed to launch '/Users/abhi/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyProject-atlkwwnwccqaopgembmyzeecthfx/Build/Products/QA - Debug - Production-iphoneos/MyProject.app/MyProject' -- No such file or directory (/Users/abhi/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyProject-atlkwwnwccqaopgembmyzeecthfx/Build/Products/QA - Debug - Production-iphoneos/MyProject.app/MyProject)
Delete app from your device, switch OFF and ON your device, clean your code and then run it on device, it will install..
If not Restart your Xcode...
I have tried this when i have faced same problem and this one worked for me
Tried advice by Sree Charan with no success for XCode 4.3.3. Ultimately (and I'm not sure this is what fixed it), I went to Validate Settings on the Editor Menu and it updated settings from GDB to LLDB and then it worked.
I'm only providing the info above in hopes it might help someone else. I have no way to verify that is what fixed this problem (and I spent 2 hours looking for a solution).
I've changed something in my project settings and now when I run this project to build and debug I get build error:
GenerateDSYMFile error: tried to link DWARF for unsupported file: "correct path to my application executable here"
but! when I press RUN once more it works like a charm and my app starts in Simulator.
so I need press cmd-R twice every time to debug my app.
it was normal in previous version of my project so I don't know what changes I've made %)
all my other projects works fine and I can just recreate this project, but I want to figured it out - what trigger this error. I tried to ask this question on Apple devforums but without any success.
any help here? thx )
ps this error shows as Xcode3 as Xcode4
There is same file name as your project name in bundle so get rid of that file by renaming it and use accordingly.
Clean the project and run the project. Good to go.
not sure if you figured out what the problem was, had the same thing happen to me. I had made a text file called the same name as my project - when I got rid of that it fixed it.
Try changing under Build Options > Debug Information Format. See if that helps.
I got it when I tried to run my app in the simulator.
Xcode said ATTACHING TO PROCESS but hung.
So had to kill XCode and restart.
When I ran project again it built ok but when I said RUN it got that link error.
I fixed it by deleting the app in the Simulator and hit run again and it worked.
In my case It was a plist file causing the error.
I renamed the file and updated Info.plist File in Target Build Settings and that fixed it.
I got the same error: "error: tried to link DWARF for unsupported file: /Volumes/..."
This error wasn't shown before up until I changed to Xcode 6 in my Jenkins server. Before we had the same setting of the App and was building without any problem.
I was building the app as Realase version via Jenkins and I had the setting to build with the following configuration "-configuration Release" and the parameter "Debug Information Format" in Build Setting of the app was set to DWARF-with-dSYM.
In order to solve this error I changed in the targets in Xcode in Build Settings in the parameter "Debug Information Format" to DWARF only and I didn't get any error from Jenkins.
The apple developer documentation says this regarding the different values of this parameter:
DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT (Debug Information Format)
Description: Identifier. Identifies the format used to store the binary’s debug information.
Values:
stabs: Use the Stabs format and place the debug information in the binary.
dwarf: Use the DWARF format and place the debug information in the binary.
dwarf-with-dsym: Use the DWARF format and place the debug information in a dSYM file.
Default value:
dwarf
Prerequisite for:
“GCC_ENABLE_SYMBOL_SEPARATION (Separate PCH Symbols).”

The current issue I'm having is that Build and Archive will build my current target but after it's finished building, a pop-up will appear with the message:
"The operation couldn't be completed. No such file or directory"
I have reinstalled Xcode (3.2.3 with SDK 4.0), rebooted my machine, cleaned the cache, cleaned the project, manually deleted the project build directory. Nothing has worked.
I've also checked ~/Library/MobileDevice/Archived Applications and it is empty.
Any ideas?
p.s. This is driving me crazy!
The error The operation couldn't be completed. No such file or directory also occurs in XCode 4.0 GM preview if you do not change identity to "Don't Re-sign" after selecting (Archives) Share in the Organizer
I had this problem and the solution that was recommended to me was:
Open your Xcode project
Select Unity-iPhone in targets (Double click so it opens the info)
Find "Generate Debug Symbols" and check it on. (Just Search for it in the search field)
This worked for me, but I still don't understand why it was necessary.
All answers failed. Best solution,
drag the .app bundle to iTunes and reveal the app in Finder. Boom! you get your ipa there.
Since it only seems to happen with your release configuration, double check the "Build Locations" values in your project settings for the release configuration.
Check the paths in the "build locations" to make sure they exist
Check the permissions for those paths
Try doing just a build (no archiving) for your release configuration
Also keep an eye on your build results window during the build to see if there were any warnings during the signing and packaging stages that could give you clues
Had the same issue and none of the mentions solutions worked.
I finally found the problem when I tried to directly sign the app with the adhoc profile: it told me that I had twice a distribution profile in my keychain. I deleted the old one, then compiled again with the dev profile, and then archiving with the adhoc profile and it worked.
Longshot answer - do you have any unusual characters in your project path? This release note indicates it can cause problems:
While most known cases have been taken
care of, having a space, comma, slash,
backslash, tilde, or other character
special to the Unix shell in the
directory name of any parent folder of
your project can cause your project
build to fail in unexpected ways.
If you have a 3:rd party SDK you need to add "$(SDKROOT)/ResourceRules.plist" to the “Code Signing Resource Rules Path” key in the targets build settings.
I solved this problem by exchanging the wildcard adhoc distribution profile I was using for an app specific adhoc distribution profile.
Of the top of my head, I would check permissions. Some code reports permissions problems as there being no file/folder. Check the Console log. You will sometimes find more info there.
Did you install into /Developer? If you've customized that folder the issue could be that the path contains a space, which could be causing your problem.
Run the Console app and see what information is being spit out there. That should give us more insight into the issue.
While attempting to debug a build created using the 3.2 SDK on an iPhone device I receive the message "A signed resource has been added, modified, or deleted.".
I can clean, rebuild, then install with no error, but if I try to install without cleaning the error shows.
Anyone have an idea as to what might be causing this?
I found a workaround for the bug.
If you delete the .app file in build/Debug-iphoneos/ before building for the device, the app gets installed without errors.
And there is a simple way to do that before every build.
Make sure you have selected "Device" in the dropdown overview menu.
In XCode go to Project > New target...
Then find "Shell Script target" under MacOSX/Other
Name it and add it to the current project
Now, in the left navigation panel, under targets, expand your newly created target and double-click on Run Script.
In the window that opens replace "# shell script goes here" with "rm -fr build/Debug-iphoneos/*.app" (without the quotes).
Now open your main target preferences and under Direct Dependencies add your newly created target.
Build and Go! :)
This error occurs when there is a special character in the Product Name. In my case it was a "?"
If you change the Product Name it automatically updates the "Bundle Name" and "Bundle Display Name" so it is often the best choice to rename an app.
If you want to include special characters in the app name you have to manually rename the "Bundle Name" and "Bundle Display Name"
Bundle Name: This is the actual app bundle name in the file system such as "Awesome App.app". It is generally not visible to the user.
Bundle Display Name: This is a short name displayed under the app icon on the device. Since the bundle name would be truncated to "Awes…tion" you have the option to have a shorter name which fits better such as "Awesome App". It should be similar to the App Store name (set in iTunes Connect)
This is pretty clearly a bug in the 3.2 SDK, but I don't want to downgrade. I've found that doing a Clean by pushing Command+Shift+K, then Return is pretty fast before pushing Command+R to build.
Xcode 8, reason of the "A signed resource has been added, modified, or deleted." was that target was signed with an enterprise provision profile.
In my case, it happened when no changes were made. Make a change to any file and run again.
This can have several causes. The fastest way to figure out what is causing it is to go into Xcode, Window menu, Devices, then click the reveal button at the bottom of the pane to show the Console. Now attempt to run. You should see log output that names the specific files it is complaining about.
Most of the solutions previously posted are just artificial ways of getting Xcode to regenerate the contents of the build folder and/or re-sign the files.
In my case, my WatchKit extension was somehow acquiring references to Cocoapods frameworks that were only targeted toward the main app so they got signed during the build, then pruned later (as they were not used). Then on device, iOS complained that they were missing from the .appex folder for the extension. I ended up not needing any pods in the extension so I just removed them all and removed the extension as a target, then did some minor cleanup to remove the pod-related debris left in the build steps. Now everything works perfectly.
(SOLVED) This is a weird one. I tried everything I could find. Eventually I changed the product name from "Unit Tests (device)" to "Device Unit Tests" - removing the brackets. Now everything works. The spaces in it appear to be fine.
Previously on stackoverflow:
I've just run into this bug with two static library projects. One builds and tests using the GHUnit test runner on the device without a problem. The other projects will not install and gets this error. That means it's something thats different between these two projects. I've so far tried wiping the build directory, taking spaces out of the executable name, and various clean and builds as suggested here.
Same for me, thought it has something to do with multiple targets etc. because I changed a lot there. But it's highly possible that it's a Bug in the 3.2.2 release since I did not test extensively in this sdk version before the massive target changes in my project.
solved my issue!!!
I found out by accident that somehow a space " " found it's way into the Product Name of my app so it was called "First Second.app" instead of "FirstSecond.app". After deleting the space the issue was gone!
I changed it here:
right click on target
Get Info
Build Tab
Packaging Section
Product Name <- The name here will be used for the bundle (.app) name
Hope this helps, let me know!
Cheers,
nils
I could solved by changing project name.
[project]-[Rename] menu. "phase1 (new)" -> "pahse1"
I was getting this same error, but intermittently. I tried all the above and it still didn't work. Today I found what was causing it.
The error seems to occur when editing a xib in interface builder. If you try to run while the interface builder is open in xcode it will cause the above error. To solve just close the interface builder editor. i.e. just select a code file from your project so you are in the Source Editor.
The simplest (and probably most common cause) appears to be rebuilding without any changes.
So the simplest thing to cure it is to make a trivial change to a source file (such as adding a space, then deleting it), and then rebuilding.
If this doesn't work, feel free to try all the other answers here.
For months, I'd get this error without realizing it was due to such a simple cause. I'd usually do a Clean Build to get rid of it.
When I created ipa through terminal using xcodebuild commands, ipa created but while installing it I was getting same error. exportOptionsPlist solved my issue.
xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath projectPath/myapp.xcarchive -exportPath projectPath/myApp.ipa -exportOptionsPlist ProjectFolder/exportPlist.plist
In my case, Quit and restarting XCode worked.
For me the issue was related to the provisioning profile settings. The clue to this was that debug builds were installing ok, but release builds were not. I wanted to test a release build, so I ran the scheme with that build configuration.
I fixed it by duplicating the Release Configuration, then modifying those fields in the Build Settings to have the same provisioning stuff as if I am debugging it.
(Adding another build configuration will give you headaches if you are using Cocoapods however, then you'll have to modify your Podfile)
I'm getting the same thing, when installing on a iPod Touch. I can't link for the simulator (for other reasons), so can't say whether the problem occurs there.
Yes, rebuilding clean or deleting the app from the device allows me to install again. Neither are desirable, iterative solutions!
The minimal "cleaning" I've come across as a work around is manually deleting the Foo.app in the build/Debug-iphoneos directory.
it seems this is a bug in xcode 3.2.2:
iphonedevsdk
I had the same problem in Xcode 3.2.1 when I put a + in my app name. Specifically the "product name" in the build settings. It is fine to have a + in the bundle name in your Info.plist. The same probably applies to other punctuation characters.
Go to Window > Organizer > Projects > Find your project and delete derived data
I got this error intermittently while installing app using iPhone config utility on Windows7. Following solution works - Go to C:\Users\{lanusername}\AppData\Local\Temp and delete app specific folders (e.g. abc.app) and try installing app again.
I reported this bug on ICU (Windows versions) to Apple in June 2011. With the following workarounds:
The workaround is this ....
Win XP
1) Close ICU
2) Delete the temp folder: c:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Temp\[AppName].app
3) Delete the deploy folder: c:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\AppleComputer\MobileDevice
4) Restart ICU. Drag in the App and install normally.
============================
Win 7
1) Close ICU
2) Delete the temp folder: c:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp\[AppName].app
3) Delete the deploy folder: c:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileDevice\Applications\[AppName].app
4) Restart ICU. Drag in the App and install normally.
=========================================================
I simply rebuilt my app, and that solved the issue.
I also faced the same issue. After wasting lot of time I realized that my product name has a special character "?" which cased the problem
Having the DerivedData folder at a network location caused this problem for me.
After trying everything else, I found out my workstation couldn't agree with the University server about what the time was. (It thought everything was always modified). I also had to clean for every rebuild to avoid that frustrating message.
In the end I gave up and built locally, changing Xcode > Preferences > Locations ... feeling altogether pretty dumb for having ever built over the network.
We ran into this issues on XCode_6.3.1. We were building a AppleWatch app, with an extension. We do have a bunch of Pods.. After debugging the issue for almost a bunch of hours, what we found was that there was an issue with the way a file was adde to the project..
It seems like some references to a unused file was sitting in the iPhone App, though it was used in the Watch App.. It turns out that the error XCode was showing was totally useless.
After removing this file and re adding it back to the project the project started working fine & was able to install to the device. To make it even harder to debug the issues, the debug version was installed without an issue, but was unable to install the norman version..
Make sure you add your files to the right target and, look at git history and see if there are lingering fragments that are added to the wrong target.
This is a very general error message indicating something is wrong during the validation process of the code signature. To find out the specific error, you can go to Xcode->Window->Devices and check your device log.
In my case, I have following console spew
Feb 1 18:53:07 iPod-touch installd[40] : 0x1001f8000 -[MICodeSigningVerifier performValidationWithError:]: 192: Failed to verify code signature of : 0xe8008017 (Signed resources have been added, removed, or modified)
Check on this 3rd party framework again, I found an extra CodeResources file under the framework root. Remove that file fixed the problem.
