Xcode 7 - Code coverage data generation failed

Question

When I run my tests I get an error:

Code coverage data generation failed.
Unable to retrieve the profile data files from \'UIDevice\'.

Answer 1

I tried a bunch of these solutions with no luck. I turned off the Code Coverage option in my Scheme's Test section, which suppressed the error but Tests would not run. Then I noticed quite a bit of stuff in NSLog console. Somewhere in there, it mentioned reference to a framework that I was no longer using and trying to load.

I searched the app for it, and Build Settings -> Other Linker Flags was trying to load the framework that wasn't there anymore.

I removed: -framework 3rd_party_libname

Then tests worked again. This was confusing, but please check for NSLog msgs. I was using XCode 8.3
