gem update xcodeproj. Please see duplicate issues already filed in the repo.

[iceman201]

@dnkoutso still the same. I figure out that once install Swift Package Manager, then no longer can use cocoapod.

[dnkoutso]

I do not understand what you mean...either way if SPM works then thats good news. Make sure xcodeproj gem is 1.10.x.

[iceman201]

I cant using both at the same time. After I remove SPM, Pod is working.

[dnkoutso]

Upload a sample then, if its reproduced I will re-open the issue.

I just got this same error with XCode 11.3, macOS 10.15.2 and cocoapods 1.8.4 with no changes to my project, other than updating cocoapods. Issue #7697 has a workaround but it's not a permanent fix. Change the Project Format to Xcode 9.3 - compatible.
