Build error: CompileSwiftSources normal x86_64 com.apple.xcode.tools.swift.compiler

[MoOx]

When running brew install facebook/fb/fbsimctl --HEAD currently it's impossible to get fbsimctl.

** BUILD FAILED **


The following build commands failed:

Note: The last time I used this command (with SHA 1d7da93) it was working, but a coworker have to install this tool and brew offer no ways to install it via a commit SHA (and don't want to).

Problem is latest "stable" (0.4.0) is very old and does not work with Xcode 9 (#435). So we are kind of stuck.

I know you are pretty busy at FB (poke @lawrencelomax) but it would be nice to get a new "release" so we can safely install a stable version at anytime this days :)
How can we help doing this?

Is it really closed @MoOx ?

I'm getting the same error.

@VincentCATILLON @MoOx I am getting the same error. Is there any update or a work around? I am using xcode9.3 CLI version to build

[MoOx]

I still use Xcode 9.2 and was recently able to build fbsimctl with it. Didn't try with 9.3

What did you do @MoOx Like, how did you avoid this error?

[MoOx]

Can't remember. Currently my team have a versionned version of this tool to avoid facing this kind of problem as this repo looks unstable (and not new stable tags are released).

You may want to take a look at this to see a more accurate error that might help you get rid of it https://stackoverflow.com/a/31265819/988941

I am in the team where @MoOx and @VincentCATILLON was at the time, and we just removed the "versionned" version of the tool from our repository.
It's working as intended now

We just released idb. a new tool that improves significantly over fbsimctl. We recommend switching over. As part of our renewed commitment to this repo we are cleaning up old issues and will be monitoring and reviewing more closely from now on. if you still think this issue is relevant feel free to reopen

Hi fbsimctl is now longer being maintained, we strongly recommend moving to idb. Saying that if you want to fix the fbsimctl build we're happy to continue reviewing fbsimctl PRs for now.

Getting these same issues in ADO Pipelines CI. Project is building successfully in local. But failing in CI.
