Report

What did you do?

Compile my project in xcode_10_beta_5

What did you expect to happen?

Bulid succeeded

What happened instead?

xxx/Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-xxx/Pods-xxx-frameworks.sh: line 128: ARCHS[@]: unbound variable
Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code

It is similar to 7708
I've seen the discussion about issue 7708, but i can't understand what should I do about my question.
I have tried to shield function strip_invalid_archs() implementation, then xcode show error blow:

Project that demonstrates the issue

sorry, our project is complicated, it is difficult to provide a sample for you

My English is so poor, I wish you can understand me, looking forward to your reply,thx.

[dnkoutso]

is ARCHS specified in all targets? Sorry this is very difficult to diagnose without a sample app.

[wanqingrongruo]

@dnkoutso thank you for your reply. My problem solved. Because I delete the arm64 in Build setting -> Valid Architectures.
I will close this issue.
Thank you very much.

[JeroenJK]

Is there any solution for this?
It seems to be a problem in Xcode 12.x.

First when building for the simulator, I got errors. That is fixed by changing arm64 to x86_64 in VALID_ARCHS.

Now when trying to deploy my app (with fastlane) this error is thrown by CocoaPods.

[niclaughter]

Yep, same problem here. On Xcode 12.0.1.

[JeroenJK]

Solution: https://stackoverflow.com/a/64150387/2399348

So, set VALID_ARCHS to $(ARCHS_STANDARD). This works for device AND simulator builds.

[fllaryora]

JeroenJK, first really thank you for share your thoughts or the solution that work in your project.

With hybrid word i mean Nativescript, flutter, and so on.

I am hybrid man in the hybrid world, and... it is not fantastic XD, therefore there is no solution for me today.

For Nativescript users trying to build with xcode11, just comment the following lines on platforms/ios/internal/nativescript-build.xcconfig:

// Xcode 12
EXCLUDED_ARCHS_x86_64 = arm64 arm64e
EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*] = i386 armv6 armv7 armv7s armv8 $(EXCLUDED_ARCHS_$(NATIVE_ARCH_64_BIT))
EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphoneos*] = i386 armv6 armv7 armv7s armv8 x86_64

[itali43]

Solution: https://stackoverflow.com/a/64150387/2399348

So, set VALID_ARCHS to $(ARCHS_STANDARD). This works for device AND simulator builds.

This didn't work for me (was able to run it either on device or sim but not both depending on config) so I added x86_64 and i386 at the end:

$(ARCHS_STANDARD) x86_64 i386

I also flipped Build Active Architecture Only to 'Yes', and my problem went away.

Note: XCode 12.0.1, iPadOS 14.0.XX, bug did not exist in iPadOS 13/XCode 11.6.XX

Thank you so much to the previous posters for inspiring this fix.. this bug nearly killed me.

Please help, I am using Xcode 11.3.1

[itali43]

Hi @kushalpal17, did you try deleting the pod lock file, the pods folder and unistalling then reinstalling pods? I'd also consider updating / upgrading cocoapods. Also, turning your machine off and on again may make it work.

If none of that works out, maybe try what I did for 12.0.1? I don't think it will help but it probably won't hurt.
( I added the VALID_ARCHS key with the value: $(ARCHS_STANDARD) x86_64 i386 in user defined settings, I explain it a bit more above)

[ahmedsafadii]

samee problem

[olegderecha]

Our team added the solution for fixing iOS build for Xcode 12, but stopped working on Xcode 11.
For Xcode 12 added:
EXCLUDED_ARCHS = arm64; into project.pbxproj but stopped working build for Xcode 11.
The solution was added to make build working for Detox / Mapbox / Xcode 12.

xCode 12.2 (12B45b) + iOS 14.2

I could not get this to work on Xcode 12.2 (12B45b) for the life of me using these settings, even after having gone through multiple pages of Google results on GitHub and Stackoverflow.

As a last resort, I just started trying different Xcode 12.x versions. The moment I tried the same exact settings on Xcode 12.0.1 (12A7300) it was no longer an issue. Guess I'm staying on 12.0.1 for a while 🤷.

For what it's worth, I'm using Firebase Analytics + Crashlytics pods, with other dependencies on SPM.

Lots of people reporting that this didn't work, but it worked for me. Xcode 12.3.

[bwoodlt]

None of this worked for me....

[martinfrouin]

The Build Settings editor no longer includes the Valid Architectures build setting (VALID_ARCHS), and its use is discouraged. Instead, there is a new Excluded Architectures build setting (EXCLUDED_ARCHS). If a project includes VALID_ARCHS, the setting is displayed in the User-Defined section of the Build Settings editor. (15145028)

-> https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-12-release-notes

It works for me by removing VALID_ARCHS lines on my project.pbxproj

[LorandP]

For those who have Xcode 11.5, I have managed to solve this by upgrading Xcode to 12.1 and having no VALID_ARCHS under Project -> Build settings -> User-Defined

[TurkiWalid]

For me i solved building an Xcode 12.x project on Xcode 11.x by removing Excluded Architectures from Build Settings -> User Defined and setting Valid Architectures to $(ARCHS_STANDARD)

[taimourmaavan]

Adding $(ARCHS_STANDARD) to Valid Architectures in Build Settings solved it for me

@kockok did you solve this isue? or some one?

By updating to the latest pods, this issue changed from an error to a warning and I think it's solved.

However, another error raised instead.

[thorfinnko]

having the same issue as @kockok

[LaiNhuTung]

+1 same issue @kockok

[thorfinnko]

I was able to create a build but the solution is not ideal, while creating a building have to remove arm64 from excluded architectures in pods and projects and while running the project on the simulator have to add the excluded arc > any ios SImulator SDK > then arm64 in that.
Is a hack of a solution but not ideal at all.

[windy48]

I'm using Xcode 13.4, I added arm64 to Build Setting -> Excluded Architectures to be able to run on iOS simulator
And when I archive the project I also met this issue, just remove the arm64 in Build Setting -> Excluded Architectures and it's solved

[NgocLe1001]

please help !!!

[olegderecha]

@NgocLe1001 ,
The problem is, that you don't know what is happening under Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code error, because you can't expand it in Xcode and to see in what exact script is executed. Xcode doesn't show it, because it is not the native script, but something from Build Phases.

You need:

• to run the build using the command line
• find the *.sh file that causes an error
• open this file using open ... .sh
• discover the script

Example. I had an issue with a build and didn't know where.
Run build command:
xcodebuild -workspace ios/{ProjectName}.xcworkspace -configuration Debug -UseModernBuildSystem=NO -scheme {SchemeName} -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 14,OS=16.1' -derivedDataPath ios/build

Then, I see this:

Open that failed screen and see what is inside and then you can at least know what script failed and where to search.
In my case the scrip was:

What to do next, depends on the issue.

[b0r1ngx]

delete the arm64 in Build setting -> Valid Architectures.

It's helps, thanks!
