Build not failed.

I'm brand new to Carthage, so bear with me. I've tried with multiple projects; I've cleared derived data; I've uninstalled and reinstalled Carthage.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

To me this looks like the simulator Carthage is trying to pick up to build for x86 is not available. Can you check what simulators you actually have on your system?

[tmspzz]

Hi @ryanmaksymic
I have tried with 0.28.0 and I see no problem on my machine. This is a problem with your setup and specifically simulators not being available.

I will close the issue for now, feel free to further comment if you still think it's a Carthage problem and can provide evidence.

@blender I'm experiencing the same issue with 0.28.0:

However the device is listed in the output of xcrun simctl list. Note that I changed the names of the simulators to append "– 11.2".

It might be a long shot but I upgraded from Sierra to High Sierra last week. And I'm using a case-sensitive filesystem. Maybe it has something to do with that.

Can I provide any more information?

[jdhealy]

@elitalon thanks, that’s helpful… Could you post xcodebuild -version?

[tmspzz]

It seems to me that you have a broken list of simulators

xcodebuild: error: Unable to find a destination matching the provided destination specifier:
        { platform:iOS Simulator, id:877D9C3E-7E6D-435B-A407-01D9350465A1 }

This id does not appear in the list of simulators further down in your output

[elitalon]

@jdhealy Well, you got me in the middle of reinstalling Xcode 9.2, so it'll take a few minutes before I can provide that output 😅

@blender I agree. Something weird is happening because the output of xcrun simctl list (I ran it separately after the command failed) differs from the one from xcodebuild above. But I don't understand why.

[elitalon]

So this is my environment:

Carthage

carthage install method: [ ] .pkg, [x] homebrew, [ ] source
which carthage: /usr/local/bin/carthage
carthage version: 0.28.0
xcodebuild -version: 9.2 / 9C40b
Are you using --no-build? No
Are you using --no-use-binaries? No
Are you using --use-submodules? No
Are you using --cache-builds? Yes
Are you using --new-resolver? No

Ok, I managed to solve the issue.

After reinstalling Xcode I realised it still listed the devices from the previous installation. So I went ahead and deleted all entries (i.e. simulators) under ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices. I ran carthage bootstrap --platform iOS again and it built everything without a problem.

My guess is that when you modify a simulator (e.g. renaming it) Xcode creates a copy in ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices. So Carthage correctly tries to build the project using the first compatible and available simulator for the platform (available as in listed on xcrun simctl list). But xcodebuild seems to prioritise the list of simulators under ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices, causing a mismatch and hence the error above.

If my theory is correct, I'm not sure whether this is an issue on Carthage, Xcode or both.

[ryanmaksymic]

@elitalon Thank you! The problem was indeed with my Devices folder. After a few failed attempts I managed to properly reset the list of simulators by going through these steps and restarting my machine.

Thank you.
