Works for me. Seems like you are also on Xcode 9.3, can you please try using Xcodeproj from master using http://bundler.io/?

This might already be fixed by https://github.com/CocoaPods/Xcodeproj/pull/541

[chaitanya-ramji]

I'm still facing the same issue.

[dnkoutso]

@chaitanya-ramji can you please provide a sample app although I am doubtful I will able to reproduce this.

Hi there @dnkoutso, i am having the very same issue as @chaitanya-ramji. Here is a sample app i created for demonstration purposes. Please let me know if there is anything else you would like me to send along or try.

Hi,
Same issue here. I just created an ARKit project with Xcode 9.3.
It doesn't happen if I create it with Xcode 9.2.

[dnkoutso]

has anyone actually confirmed that trying the above (latest xcodeproj gem) works?

I need to install 9.3 beta 1

[p-glynn]

Hi @dnkoutso, i have never used the xcodeproj bundler before. I am having a hard time understanding the docs. I was using 9.3 beta, will try again with 9.2

Update- it worked fine when i tried with 9.2

[paulb777]

I reproduced the issue and confirmed that changing the source build to the latest Xcodeproj fixes the issue. However, it looks like CocoaPods 1.4.0 is still pointing at Xcodeproj 1.5.4 which was made before the fix.

[dnkoutso]

Yes, this is because Xcode 9.3 Beta 1 was not released when we released 1.4.0.

I think this issue should be closed since its fixed and it will ship with next release (1.4.1 or 1.5.0.beta.1)

[segiddins]

I'll release Xcodeproj 1.5.5 when I get home, which will fix this

[mattmega4]

How do I get the correct version of CocoaPods ? I am still getting 1.4

[RolandasRazma]

@mattmega4 $ sudo gem install xcodeproj

[dnkoutso]

cocoapods is a different gem than xcodeproj. There was a release of xcodeproj to 1.5.5 not of cocoapods which is still in 1.4.0 as of this comment.

So update the xcodeproj gem should hopefully fix your issue.

[dnkoutso]

I think we can close this with Xcodeproj 1.5.5 and 1.5.6 releases, @segiddins ?

[segiddins]

Yup!

[asifayub2010]

i had same issue and fixed by using "$ sudo gem install xcodeproj"

[HarshitG24]

Still not able to fix the error, can someone please contribute???

Thanks a lot!!!

[paulb777]

@HarshitG24 The fix was already contributed. See the comments above about how to update your installation to pick up the fix.
