Xcode 8 can't archive “Command /usr/bin/codesi

Question

I've got a serious problem on Xcode 8 on macOS Sierra. when I try to build my app, I get the following issue.

CodeSign /Users/me/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-gnoiiwnelmxzdidnijaswisrwdqe/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/MyApp.app
cd /Users/me/Desktop/MyAppFolder1/MyAppFolder2/MyAppxcode
export CODESIGN_ALLOCATE=/Users/me/Downloads/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/codesign_allocate
export PATH="/Users/me/Downloads/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin:/Users/me/Downloads/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"

Signing Identity:     "-"

/usr/bin/codesign --force --sign - --timestamp=none /Users/me/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-gnoiiwnelmxzdidnijaswisrwdqe/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/MyApp.app

/Users/me/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-gnoiiwnelmxzdidnijaswisrwdqe/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/MyApp.app: resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed
Command /usr/bin/codesign failed with exit code 1

then I did https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/48905 in the terminal as the following and it worked. but once I clean, the issue comes back.

cd /Users/me/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-gnoiiwnelmxzdidnijaswisrwdqe/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/MyApp

ls -al@ *

xattr -c *

and this solution doesn't work for archive with the following issue. is there any solution for it?

Answer 1

There is a more permanent fix for this. Fixing the attributes in the DerivedData works, but the problem keeps coming back. What you need to do is go to the directory shown when you get the 'resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed', the one that contains the .App file. Then execute...

xattr -lr MyAppName.App

You can then see the resource files that have the attributes that need removing. Don't remove them from the .App file though, find the original files in your project and open the directory that contains them and execute...

xattr -rc .

This then fixes the ORIGINAL files. Rebuild should then function ok. It should also then rebuild properly for archive too.

Answer 2

Solution 1:

You can try file specific bash command like Mark McCorkle answered.

In terminal, goto project's root directory and execute one by one command

  find . -type f -name '*.jpeg' -exec xattr -c {} \;
  find . -type f -name '*.png' -exec xattr -c {} \;
  find . -type f -name '*.tif' -exec xattr -c {} \;

Clean Xcode and Re Build. Done.

Solution 2:

You can fix this problem by finding files which holds finder information.

In terminal, goto project root directory and execute

ls -alR@ . > kundapura.txt

This creates kundapura.txt in current directory. Now search for com.apple.FinderInfo and clear this attributes for all files. You can do it like this

xattr -c <filename>
Example: xattr -c guru.png

Once you clear all then you are able to code sign. Cheers

Answer 3

I found this solution in the Apple forum

cd ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
xattr -rc .

or

xattr -rc ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData

Answer 4

For me worked this:

cd ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
xattr -dr com.apple.FinderInfo *

And then rebuild

Answer 5

I want to show my answer because it may be of interest (I have wasted a lot of time with this error)

None of the previous answers (which have a high score) have been useful to me.

They may be correct, but they haven't solved my problem.

Origin:

I added a new Target to my iOS application: iMessage

When I added png images to the Assets. xcassets, the error occurred.

Solution:

Make a copy of png images with "Apple Preview App" and uncheck Alpha.

Error message disappears.

Answer 6

I had this problem with one file from CocoaPods bundle. I've updated CocoaPods to the latest version and run:

pod install

after that, the problem has gone away.
