iOS - Xcode 10 New Build System - Dependent Project Install: Failed to emit precompiled header

[remypanicker]

I have been building my iOS app against the tip of the release 2.3 branch for several months with Core Plot integrating into my project as a dependent project install. I can build my app just fine using the Xcode 10 Legacy Build System, but when I try using Xcode 10's New Build System, I get the following errors:

It looks like the iOS build is trying to compile Mac-specific code which leads to the build errors I'm getting. Any insight into what might be going on and how to resolve this issue?

[eskroch]

I see this error, too. I've been looking for a solution, but haven't found any way to solve it yet.

[djones614]

Thanks, Eskroch. Same issue here. Hopefully, you find a solution before the official release of Xcode 10/iOS 12.

[last-Programmer]

xcode 10 gm is released. Could you please share a solution if you found one.

[remypanicker]

@rbmanian75 My guess is that a solution hasn't been found yet considering there haven't been any commits referencing a solution to this issue.

@eskroch Perhaps this should be bumped up to Priority-High now that the Xcode 10 GM has been released. Hopefully doing so will catch the attention of other developers looking to make a high impact contribution to this project.

[koenvanderdrift]

Confirming the error still exists with Xcode 10 GM. Even after removing the Mac targets in the CorePlot project file.

[romayev]

Seeing the same issue with Xcode 10. A patch would be much appreciated.

[laviniuc]

same in xcode 10.1 beta

[koenvanderdrift]

See here for a potential solution: #392 (comment)

[JasonMarzBingBang]

Same issue here.

[Hassan-Aftab]

Same issue here

[koenvanderdrift]

Again, see here for a solution: #392
