What's the Xcode “no such file or directory error”?

Question

Xcode keeps prompting telling me I don\'t have a certain image in the project and it errors when I try to build. If I deleted the .png Xcode is complaining about from the pr

Answer 1

perhaps you move the file named **-Prefix.pch,you can change the dictionary of the file ，do like this ： the error about “no such file or directory”

Answer 2

Using XCode 10, I got this error after deleting some files I no longer needed in my project. In my case, I went to XCode, clicked on the project name, then under Resources, the missing files were listed in red. All I did was to delete them.

In case you need the files, you will need to add them by going to File ->Add files to , then select the files. After selecting the file, make sure you have Copy files if needed checked.

Hope that helps someone.

try set target CLANG_WARN_DEPRECATED_OBJC_IMPLEMENTATIONS=NO

Okay here's the unsatisfactory workaround that fixed it for me.

(First, note that when I right-clicked my dodgy Group in the Project Navigator) it looked like any other group except that Open in External Editor was greyed - weird eh?)

1. I closed XCode and restarted it.

   => Now I see all of the icons under the offending group are red (in the Project Navigator)

2. Delete the entire group.

3. Create a new group (same name) and drag-drop the icons from the original source into the group

   => Error failed to copy (or some such - I can't remember but I have seen and fixed this before - and seen it elsewhere on SO)

   This error is due to leftover icons, so to fix this one now,

4. I deleted all other groups with icons and moved their icons to trash

5. open finder at the project location
6. delete every icon in the project (sort by kind, delete all the .png)

7. make a new group again, and drag all the icons in _again.

8. whew, now hit Builder

   => XCode crashes.

   Lovely.

9. Restart Xcode

10. fingers crossed: Build

=> it works. Brief celebration and back to work.

(See what I mean about unsatisfactory)

Answer 5

Check your project file paths. If there is a space in any of the folders, it causes this error. Simply remove spaces.

Answer 6

look up here XCode Build – CopyPNGFile Error and No Such File or Directory . I had same problem and this solution helps me.

If you receive either of these annoying errors when building your xcode app, something has corrupted in your project bundle.

1. Open your project in Xcode
2. Click on your project
3. Click on your project under Targets
4. Hit the build phases tab
5. Open “Copy Bundle Resources” near the bottom
6. Look for any resources listed in red!
