iOS Question ld: framework not found FileProvider for architecture armv7

[marcick]

I was developing and compiling til this morning, but suddenly I'm not able to compile and get this error

id: framework not found FileProvider for architecture armv7
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)


Error: ** BUILD FAILED **


The following build commands failed:
    Ld Payload/Bmap4I.app/Bmap4I normal armv7
(1 failure)

All my projects no longer compile ...
I think something is corrupted in B4I installation or in the Local Mac, B4i builder, Xcode .. I don't know

I'm starting now to update to XCode9.2, but is it possible that it is the cause and suddenly nothing works ?

This error happens when you try to reference a framework compiled with Xcode 9 in a project compiled with Xcode 8.

 

[marcick]

well, I did nothing ...
I was compiling this morning, then a break for lunch, come back and here it is the error.
All my old projects also no longer compile, not only this I'm working on today ... I don't know.
The only event I can report is that I have enabled the Ireleaselogger library (I often enable and disable it) and then I saw the error.
So I was first thinking to a problem related to that, disabled the library but the error is still here.
I can't work. All projects suddenly dead.
What can be happened ?

 

[Erel]

Try it with the hosted builder. It will tell you where is the problem.

 

[marcick]

I don't remember: do I need a subscription to use the hosted builder ?

I've sent you a temporary id.

 

[marcick]

Thank you very much.
Compile ok with the hosted builder.
My Mac is there, nobody use it, I switch it on only when I need to compile B4i.
What can be happened I don't know.
Do you think updating to Xcode 9.2 will fix the problem ? I started the update from the Mac App Store but the hourglass is running since two hours (I think it is doing nothing)

 

[Erel]

o you think updating to Xcode 9.2 will fix the problem ?

What was previously installed?

If there are multiple versions installed then you should make sure that the correct one is set as the default by running xcode-select -p

 

[marcick]

Actually 8.2.1, the only I have ever installed and it was working til this morning.
I'm thinking to uninstall it and reinstall 9.2, right way ?

 

[Erel]

Installing Xcode 9 will fix it.

 

[marcick]

Thank you, I'll do it.
Anyway looks like enabling IreleaseLogger causes a compile fail also with the hosted builder, I will open a separate thread for this.

 

[marcick]

I will turn crazy.
Disisntalled Xcode 8.2
Try to install Xcode 9.2 from Mac AppStore, it says it can't be installed because requires OSX 10.12.6 minimum.
I have 10.11.6 on this new Imac (bought two years ago for this porpouse) and looks like there are no updates available .....
Do I have to buy osx Sierra ? .....

 

[Erel]

I have 10.11.6 on this new Imac (bought two years ago for this porpouse) and looks like there are no updates available .....

Are you sure that you cannot update it to a newer OS?

I have a Mac Mini 2012 that is running OS X 10.13.1

 

[marcick]

Well, don't ask me why but Sierra was not available as system update. I've searched it in the MacStore, found and installed without problems.
Then installed Xcode 9.2 and finally now I can compile.
Thanks again
