@PythonDevOp the issue is most likely related to your XCode version. Try updating to XCode 10.

[Fatme]

@PythonDevOp,

Your problem might be related to this https://github.com/NativeScript/nativescript-cli/issues/3909

[PythonDevOp]

@NickIliev In order for me to upgrade to XCode 10, I'd have to update my Mac OS too. Not sure if I'd want to do that just for the sake of getting this working. Is there anything else I can try?

@Fatme I tried the steps mentioned here but that did not work.

One thing I find interesting is the issue I am having (error code 65) seems to be present in issue #3909 as well, and one suggested solution to that is to _downgrade_ the XCode run version. I am slightly confused as to what the problem really is and what the best way to solve it is, but this problem appears to be a known one that more than 1 person has faced.

Any thoughts on the culprit? MY guess is that it has something to do with this, but I dont know what it means:

ld: warning: ObjC dylib (/Users/user/Documents/ngNative/node_modules/tns-core-modules-widgets/platforms/ios/TNSWidgets.framework/TNSWidgets) was compiled for iOS Simulator, but dylibs others were compiled for MacOSX

Hi @PythonDevOp,

Can you reproduce the problem on brand new hello world project without any plugins?

[alereisan]

I have Updated XCode from version 9.4 to 10.1
Still does not work.

Command xcodebuild failed with exit code 65

[dtopuzov]

Hi @alereisan,

Can you reproduce the issue in hello world app without plugins?

[alereisan]

@dtopuzov yes, i just made a new project in sidekick -> Angular & Typescript -> Blank

Tried running it on iPhone 6 (real device):

[18-12-11 16:53:37.973] Error detected during LiveSync on a967568f06ab317c825eb0315604abe2cb9b4f3a for /Users/iamacpro2018/Documents/nativescript/CleanIOSBUildTest. Error: Command xcodebuild failed with exit code 65 Error output:
* ARCHIVE FAILED *

[alereisan]

@dtopuzov I just tried to run it in debug on iPhone XR Simulator.
On Simulator it runs without problem.

[PythonDevOp]

@dtopuzov - sorry, I haven't tried. Will try again today and let you know

[alereisan]

I have opened the project in xcode.
Let xcode auto-fix warnings.
Ran directly from xcode on iPhone 6 successfully.

xcode: 10.1
macos: mojave

Hello,
I wasn't able to reproduce this issue. Please provide us more information.

1. Steps to reproduce.
2. Version of node, npm, ios version of device/simulator
3. post your package.json

Please, build the project with tns run ios --log trace > log.txt and send us log.txt

[PythonDevOp]

@miroslavaivanova How would you like for me to send the log?

[miroslavaivanova]

@PythonDevOp you can drag and drop the file into the comment box.

[theRaffe]

[ppico22]

Hello @miroslavaivanova im running into the same problem, i ran the project on the ios simulator with success, but this error comes up when i try to do it on my phone.

[PythonDevOp]

@miroslavaivanova Please see the attached log:
log.txt

[ppico22]

@miroslavaivanova i ran the tns debug command and i saw that the conflict was a dependecy on my package json file that was depracated i erased and i works.

Hi @PythonDevOp,
It seems that the version of your Xcode is very old. Please try upgrading Xcode to a newer version (10.1) and your NativeScript v5.x.x. project should build and run without any issues.

[PythonDevOp]

@KristianDD - Ok. I will try to update my OS to accommodate for the new XCode 10.1 version. Previously I was unable to due to security policy locally, but will try again.

[mgpepe]

I opened up XCode, there you can find details on what the error is. in my case some library was missing.

[rosen-vladimirov]

Thanks guys, as this issue is quite old and contains different problems and solutions, I'm closing it. In case you have similar problem, please open a new issue.
