Obscure Xcode build error: “The file “myapp-SBPartialInfo.plist” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file.”

Answer 1

I heard back from Apple Support.

Something was wrong with one of the generated files. Here are the steps to fix it:

1) Quit Xcode.

2) Open Finder and select Go > Go to Folder...

3) Delete the DerivedData folder

4) Open Xcode.

5) Clean your project

6) Build

Answer 2

In my case, I resolved this by setting the Deployment Target to iOS 9.0 from iOS 8.0, as I had a UIStackView, which is not supported before iOS 9.0

Answer 3

In my case the problem was that somehow the Run action in my scheme showed my app's name without the ".app" extension. Editing the scheme and picking AppName.app fixed it.
