Solution 1

I got this error when i was archiving my app with xcode - while running on sim and physical device worked -, but had my physical device still selected as a scheme. Solution worked for me: clean build folder, and select 'Generic IOS Device' as the scheme.

Solution 2

Delete ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData worked for me. Issue is due to cache, since your using pods - you need to remove old references

Solution 3

Delete ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData worked for me.

Solution 4

This has been driving me nuts and I still can not pinpoint the reason for the crash. But a few of these steps or a combination of these seems to remedy it in the meanwhile.

• Try doing a clean build.
• Run pod install / pod deintegrate.
• Run npm install if you are working on a react native app after deleting node_modules
• Close xcode and then delete ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
• If nothing works try restarting the system.
