Xcode Buildtime Error: 'Unable to load contents of file list: '…/Info.plist' (in target 'xxxx')

问题

Xcode started throwing this error in a project today, and I'm having trouble figuring out what it means and how to troubleshoot it, and it's not coming up in any searches. It happens immediately after trying to build to a device (no scripts compile, etc):

error: Unable to load contents of file list: '/Users/.../Products/Debug-appletvos/myapp.app/Info.plist' (in target 'myapp')

Full log below, (note I've replaced build folder with ... for brevity)

error: Unable to load contents of file list: '/Users/.../Products/Debug-appletvos/myapp.app/Info.plist' (in target 'myapp')


Build failed    3/5/19, 3:09 PM    0.2 seconds

Things I've tried so far:

Restarting Xcode
Restarting Computer
'Product' > 'Clean Build Folder'
Manually deleting everything in Build folder
Re-download repository on the same computer (same issue)
Re-download repository on a different computer (same issue)
reverting to a previous commit that was working (same issue)
plutil Info.plist responds with Info.plist: OK

Other items of note:

Project uses Cocoapods
Project utilizes custom C++ code
The only file list in the Info.plist file is a list of 2 custom fonts, but those are showing up ok in the Xcode project browser (not red).

If anyone has encountered this before and has a fix, or has any other suggestions for troubleshooting I would greatly appreciate it, thanks!

回答1:

In my case, I just fixed below

Open terminal under project folder
pod deintegrate
sudo gem install cocoapods-clean
pod clean
Open the project and delete (if it's still there) the “Pods” folder that should be red
pod setup (This may take some time)
pod install

I fix this in this way:

1、Go to your project's target, -> Build Phases -> Embed Pods Frameworks

2、check the input files and input file lists, Output files, and output file lists.

3、move dir from input file lists to input files, and output file lists to output files

回答3:

I realised after a while that my colleague has updated cocoapods to the latest version, so what I did was just

sudo gem install cocoapods

And that did the trick! :)

回答4:

Finally figured this out, posting here so others googling can find it.

It was an issue with a build script that used the 'Input File Lists' option, removing and re-adding the script fixed the issue.

Nav to Target
'Build Phases' tab
'Run Script' phase
make notes of what's there, remove it
re-run to make sure things work
re-add the script (and content under 'Input File Lists')

回答5:

The problem is that you have added path to Input File Lists instead of Input Files

回答6:

In my case, I just fixed below

1- Go to your project's target, -> Build Phases -> Delete [CP] Copy Pods Resources. 2- pod deintegrate. 3- pod install.

回答7:

In my case

pod deintegrate
pod install

was enough

回答8:

In my case, the problem wasn't about cocoapods, it was about Fabric

I removed row $(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)/$(INFOPLIST_PATH) from Build Phases > Fabric > Input File Lists and it fixed the error
