Xcode 7.2: In “Archive”: Getting the issue: “Cordo

Question

In iOS, I update 7.2. I'm able to build my existing project to my device with no problem. When it came time to archive the project to prepare for submission to the app store, however, I'm getting a build error - Cordova/CDVViewController.h file not found. I've gone through just about every fix/workaround that I've not found Stack Overflow, and Google, and none of them have worked for me. If I go back to Xcode 6.4 I can build and archive no problem, but I can't build to my device now that it's running iOS 9.1.

I'm guessing it's a configuration issue somewhere with the new Xcode version setup. Has anyone else run into this? Again, the usual suspects (Preferences > Location > Derived Data > Advanced > Unique), Header Search Paths, etc. all seem to be fine.

Thanks, Adisheshu

Answer 1

supplementing the response. Add

"$(OBJROOT)/UninstalledProducts/$(PLATFORM_NAME)/include"

Don't replace the existing line that looks similar, that is still needed to be backwards compatible with Xcode 7 and Xcode 6.4.

You should update your project's Cordova iOS version to 3.9.2 (latest version of 3 as of 3/11/16). I got this same error when using 3.8.0 and it was fixed in 3.9.

Alternatively, you could upgrade to Cordova iOS v4.1.0 (bleeding edge as of 3/11/16) but be aware you lose support for iOS 6 and 7, and cordova-plugin-screen-orientation isn't updated to use 4 yet so you have to lock your app in portrait or landscape.

EDIT:

Without upgrading you can fix this manually in XCode. go to

Build Settings -> Header Search Paths : Change:

$(OBJROOT)/UninstalledProducts/include

to:

$(OBJROOT)/UninstalledProducts/$(PLATFORM_NAME)/include

I was using xcode 7.3 and I was having the same problem. In my case the error was due to an error that was happening when executing "cordova platform add ios", an error was ocurring because an image couldn't be found in res folder and this was avoiding cordova platform add ios to finish correctly.

If adding this line:

$(OBJROOT)/UninstalledProducts/$(PLATFORM_NAME)/include

to the headers-search-path (as described in 'im3r3k' answer) didn't fixed this issue, also set this:

Build Settings -> Architectures -> Build Active Architecture Only -> YES

Answer 5

This issues seems to appear in Xcode 7.2 due to search path/include.

Solve this in following way:

1. Select your [projectName] in Xcode TARGETS.

2. Go to Build Settings tab.

3. Make sure that the filter is set to "All" and not "Basic".

4. Search "Header Search Paths"

5. Double click and add this path to both "Debug" and "Release": $(OBJROOT)/UninstalledProducts/$(PLATFORM_NAME)/include

6. Now clean the Project and restart Xcode.

7. Able to make the Build and Archive.

8. That's All.

Also set ENABLE BITCODE = NO in the Build Settings
