git error: unable to index file Crashlytics.framework/Headers

Question

I am using Twitter\'s Fabric on my iOS app.

Crashlytics in Fabric just updated itself and now I cannot commit my project to git. I get the error:

Answer 1

I think this relates to the git submodule since I had similar issue. However adding or removing it didn't help. What worked was reseting it into HEAD version, e.g.

git reset HEAD problematic_file_or_dir

Answer 2

Going into terminal and manually committing to git solved the issue. All my further commits in xcode have worked since.

git add .
git commit -m "message"

Answer 3

This happened to me with IntelliJ IDEA. An error popup appeared when I tried to commit with the IDE git plugin. Probably this is related to the fact that I had staged a path that was previously a file but now is a directory, and have that previous file moved to the new directory.

Suppose that path is bin/yii. What I did was:

• Rename the directory to something different, e.g. bin/yii-temp
• Commit the directory and its contents
• Rename the directory back to bin/yii
• Commit with --amend what I had just committed.

Answer 4

The same issue happen to me with the Bolts.framework and Parse.framework. Both were added in the git repo already, so adding them back did not fixed the issue. I had to remove first:

cd MyApp/SDK/
git rm -r Parse.framework/
git rm -r Bolts.framework/

The I had to copy them again in the SDK/ folder and adding to git

 cd MyApp/SDK/
 git add .
 git commit * -m "Maintenance: Fixed git error unable to index file"
