I just had this issue. It's due to path references. Have you been moving files around and/or copying folders? Check if .xcodeproj is inside or outside of the main project folder. Also, make sure that the project's file and directory structure are intact.

/yourFolderProjectName/ <-- contains your .xcodeproj file AND folder with Xcode project name

/yourProjectFolder <-- here are .swift, info.plist, assets folder, etc.

/yourProjectXcodeFile.xcodeproj
