Whenever I attempt to run the debug version of my app, Xcode (4.0) compiles successfully, skips copying and just runs the old version. However if I clean first, Xcode copies just fine...
No relevant warnings, I triple checked the project and target build settings. Skip install is set to NO on main project and targets, all dependency projects have skip install set to YES.
Any ideas would be very welcome, recompiling every run is very painful.
Xcode's Clean command doesn't clean very thoroughly. There's still plenty of derived data retained after cleaning, something of which can cause these symptoms. I've had the same problem happen to me, where it kept running a old version of the app. To fix it I deleted the app from the simulator and deleted the Xcode derived data for the project.
To delete the derived data, quit Xcode. Locate the derived data in your account Library folder (~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/), and delete the folder for this problematical project. Reopen the project in Xcode, and build and run.

Building on devices and simulator works fine in Xcode 10 but an archive build in Xcode 10 hangs up at the same spot each time (cpu maxes out too), at the very end of "Compile Sources" but never goes to the next build phase. Of course, when I quit the build I get an uncategorized SwiftCodeGeneration warning (also using legacy build system also fails, also same happens before and after updating to swift 4.2). Anyone else running into this?
Another note, not using cocoapods, tried removing all my embedded frameworks and still had the same issue.
remove the armv7 from supported architecture works for me
I found some answers to this problem.
I adjusted the level of optimization, this allowed me to get past the "compile sources" build phase (in particular "fastest and smallest" and "optimize for speed").
the compiling then got stuck on the "copy bundle resources" phase. making sure my project folder names matched the actual folder names and making sure all my resources were linked properly by deleting the reference to a few and re-entering them into the project I was able to successfully compile. Again this was a project that worked a couple days ago on Xcode 9. Hope this helps someone, cheers.
I've recently stumbled upon a rather odd problem with Xcode which occurs when I build an IPA and attempt to install it, I've tried installing using Xcode, iTunes and iPhone Config Utility, all of which give the same error
A signed resource has been added, modified, or deleted.
I can successfully debug the app on my phone using XCode, it's only when I try to install an IPA I see the error.
I've tried unzipping the IPA and running the codesign validation tool which throws up the following response:
a sealed resource is missing or invalid In architecture: armv7
resource missing:
/Users/dev1/Documents/PoleTester.app/Settings.bundle/._Root.plist
This led me to look at the Settings.bundle file and ensure that it's being included in the build, which it is. Interestingly though, if I remove the Settings.bundle file, build an IPA and attempt to install it on my iPhone the install succeeds, however this of no use as I need the Settings.bundle file installing with the app.
Further investigations on some of my previous XCode projects has shown that I can build an IPA, with the Settings.bundle file included, and successfully install it. However, if I make a simple change to the Settings.bundle file, such as adding or removing a row, build an IPA and then attempt to install it I get the
"A signed resource has been added, modified, or deleted" error.
I'm at a bit of a loss as to what's causing this error and why the Settings.bundle file is causing the install to fail.
Has anyone seen this error before or potentially shed some light on what's causing it?
I'm using Xcode 4.6.3 and an iPhone 4 running iOS 6.1.3.
Clean Build Folder (⌘⌥⇧-K) has resolved this for me 3 out of 3 times.
I just ran into this issue using Xcode 6 beta 6 installing to my iPhone 5 running iOS 8 beta 5. The app I'm building uses a Today extension (aka widget).
It appears the issue stemmed from my having not set up dependencies properly. I have a third party framework (Alamofire) set up as part of the project as a dependency of the overall project, but not as a dependency of the today widget. I could build fine but when installing to device I would get this "signed resource has been..." error.
By adding Alamofire as a dependency of the Today widget this resolved the issue.
It's a bit late but I ran into the exact same issue today with Xcode 5.0.1.
According to https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/technotes/tn2318/index.html, "the resource missing: my.app/..*" error could be caused by:
The file prefixed with "._" is considered an AppleDouble file and it can result from copying the uncompressed Xcode project folder onto a non-HFS+ formatted disk. The AppleDouble files must be removed using the 'dot_clean' command. The Xcode project folder is the argument to dot_clean as illustrated below.
Steps I did to resolve this:
Close Xcode
Run "dot_clean /path/to/My_Xcode_Project" in Terminal
Open Xcode again and make a new build
Oddly enough most of these _* files don't seem to cause any issues except those inside Settings.bundle (Nearly every file in my directory had one, but only after I added Settings.bundle, the IPA failed to install).
I also faced the same issue and this post solved my problem:
http://code-ninja.org/blog/2012/04/17/signed-resource-has-been-added-modified-or-deleted/
It turns out that the problem was caused by having special character in the product name – in my case, a ?. Removing the ? from the product name fixed the problem.
In my case, what helped was adding a bash script into build phases (just before "compile sources"):
find ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData -name "YouAppName.appex" | xargs -I % find % -type f -maxdepth 1 | xargs rm
What this script does, is to clean files in project's appex dir (e.g. assets), but leaving sub-directories (e.g. compiled storyboard). In effect, using this script while building is much faster to execute than full project clean.
I'm trying to build my app on my iPhone 4 but i keep getting this same error. It has bein run before and has worked fine but i changed my icons and now this is what i get.
Command /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/PrivatePlugIns/iPhoneOS Build System Support.xcplugin/Contents/Resources/copypng failed with exit code 1
The error is called CopyPNGFile
You might have deleted a file in your project's folder without telling XCode, and it still tries to include it. Expand the folders in the Project Navigator and look for files in red, then delete them with a ctrl-click. XCode should be happier after that.
I just upgraded to XCode 4.0.2 and ran into a strange issue. Every time when the app stops at a breakpoint, XCode shows the target view instead of the .m file. When I manually click the file and show it, and click step, then the IDE switches to the target view again. This makes debugging virtually impossible. THis only happens to my own project. Sample projects work fine. Please help, it drives me nuts and I can not find where did I get the settings wrong.
P.S, this project worked fine on XCode 3, after upgrading to Xcode 4 I had problems with my targets. After wrestling a while with the schemes it finally builds and runs fine, but I can not do debugging when making changes because of this. I am not sure if I messed up some settings during the time to change the scheme and target settings.
Thanks

Ok, found the problem, but still not having the real solution. The situation is that the project was originally in one directory called WorldClock, after having problems when installed XCode 4, I copied the folder to another folder called WorldClockNew, and started in this folder. However somehow the build directory is still pointing to the old directory. After deleting the Build folder under WorldClock, this problem went away. However I still can not find where in the XCode settings to correct the Build path..
I have an existing project that I was working on, and I recently decided to update my iPhone SDK and updated to the latest 3.0 SDK.
I update my SDK and go to open my existing project. Sure enough, there are some problems including some certificate problems and so on. Anyway, google and I were able to solve most of them, but I haven't had any luck on what I hope to be the last of my problems.
When running my program in the simulator, I now get
dyld: Library not loaded:
/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/UIKit
Referenced from:
/Developer/iGameLib/iGameLib/build/Debug-iphonesimulator/iGameLib.app/iGameLib Reason: image not found
Now, I discovered the UIKit has moved to
/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator3.0sdk/
System/Library/FrameWorks/UIKit
and I have updated my target and project settings to point to that new framework location, but still when I build it, no luck.
I have also tried clearing out the simulator's applications and settings, still no luck.
The referencing .app is cleared when I run the "clean" menuitem, I have confirmed this, so clearly something in my project settings are still pointing to use the old UIKit location.
Where should I be looking?
I've gone as far as I can to help myself but I'm afraid I'm at a loss here. I don't see it under the target settings, or the project settings, or the plist, or any of the other files within my project.
I was getting the same error
dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/UIKit
The solution on my case was simply quit Xcode and try again.
OK, SO I HAVE THE ANSWER!!!
Quite simply, Xcode is not changing all of the variables correctly in the actual .xcodeproj file. So, here are the steps I took.
Get out of Xcode, you've got to do this job at the terminal. Bring up a terminal and go to where your project is. Find your .xcodeproj and go into it as if it were a directory. It looks like an actual file in finder, but it is one of those package directories.
Now, I couldn't get textedit to allow me to edit it, but you can go into nano, so like I did
sudo nano project.pbxproj which is under my .xcodeproj file/folder/package/whatever.
In this file, you need to find where the SDKROOT is set. Chances are there are a few places it is referenced, but you're looking for SDKROOT = iphoneos2.2.1 or something similar. Change ALL OF THESE (there are a few) to SDKROOT = iphoneos3.0
Now, you're half way there. do ctrl x and save the file. Next you're going to do ls and find out what the .pbxuser file is. Mine is myname.pbxuser. run the same command of
sudo nano myname.pbxuser
In this file, there are a HUGE number of references to the 2.1 iphone sdk directory. Do a search/replace of iPhoneSimulatorOLDVERSION.sdk, in my case it was iPhoneSimulator2.1.sdk
and change the 2.1 to 3.0. Be very careful with this though, I wouldn't want to know what happens when you mess this file up.
Save it and open xcode. CLEAN the project and build and run. Presto!
Check your target settings
Make sure you're actually linking to all of those frameworks in the Target (check under "link binary with libraries")
Make sure you've chosen the 3.0 sdk as your base SDK
Create a blank project and add your frameworks as before; if you still have issues, probably a borked SDK install
BTW, you shouldn't have to re-add sdk frameworks, as the paths are relative to the current SDK
Just trying to be helpful… not sure I can debug from here :)
I have had some similar problems with Xcode that seem to have no apparent cause. The fact of the matter is that Xcode does still have bugs here and there and sometimes you WILL run into a wall.
My Experience: Similar to your situation somewhat, on one particular occasion, an Xcode project I was working just stopped building for whatever mysterious reason, and no amount of cleaning, googling or SO-ing provided me any answers. So I simply created a FRESH, NEW project and filled the source-code from my corrupt project into that of the new project. The new project used the SAME source, libraries, resources, settings, mind you -- and yet it built with no problems. It took about 20-25 minutes to make the transfer but considering that I had spent several HOURS trying to address a bug that would not reveal itself in the corrupt project, the time was well worth it.
So, I'd suggest doing what I did: Maybe try creating a fresh project and transfer your old source and resources over.
Good Luck
I just deleted the UIKit.framework from the 'Frameworks' folder, right-clicked and added it back again.
Clean build, and no problem..
I had the same problem using Xcode 3.2.1 but it was solved in an easier manner. I realized I had recently disabled my target's environment variables, specifically ones to do with memory debugging (NSDebugEnabled, NSZombieEnabled, NSAutoreleaseFreedObjectCheckEnabled, MallocStackLogging, MallocStackLoggingNoCompact). The app ran once in the simulator after removing the environment variables but never again after that.
Quitting Xcode, the Simulator, restarting Xcode and doing a complete clean of the target (including it's dependencies off course) brought me back to a good state.
Same problem when launching my application without debugging.
In my experience the produced binary does not seem to be the culprit.
I created an app from the xcode wizard which does launch OK in the simulator (let's call it testApp, my application being called myApp), I tried to figure out where is the difference with my app.
otool -L myApp
gives correct (relative paths) to the frameworks, same as testApp
ps -E
DYLD_ROOT_PATH, DYLD_FALLBACK_FRAMEWORK_PATH, DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables needed by ld to locate the framework
are OK for myApp compared to the values of these variables when testApp is launched
I suspect that the problem lies somewhere in the communicartion between XCode and the simulator once the app is launched ... altough I can't find what's wrong ...
The solution that worked (at least for me) have certainly some big side effects but here it is :
quit xcode
browse the content of the package myApp.xcodeproj
unlock .model1v3 and .pbxuser for modification (the lock in the information panel (cmd-I on the file))
delete these two files
start xcode and retry to launch your application from there
