If you have a File Group which is backed by a physical folder and that physical folder has been deleted then you will get the same error "Unable to resolve build file: XCBCore.BuildFile". In my case the physical folder has been removed (because I removed all "real" files from it) and in XCode group there was still one external project linked.
Solution: - created a new group (without a folder) in XCode - Moved external project reference there. - rebuilt the project
Error gone.
