error: unable to load standard library for target 'arm64-apple-ios10.0-simulator'?

Question

I updated my Xcode but not able to build. It\'s failing with:

:0: error: unable to load standard library for target \'arm64-appl

Answer 1

I just had this issue occur randomly. There were no build errors in my code. After swicthing to new simulator & cleaning build folder with no luck, I restarted xCode (11.5), and the issue self-resolved. Anytime you get wierd build failures, restart xCode.

Answer 2

Resetting all environment variables is not a solution, since that will also unset SSH keys for instance, which will cause cloning to fail in case SSH authentication is used.

However, the only problematic environment variable is LLVM_TARGET_TRIPLE_SUFFIX, so unsetting that solves the problem.

unset LLVM_TARGET_TRIPLE_SUFFIX
carthage update 2>&1

Answer 3

Actually solved this by selecting Generic iOS Device when building instead of a simulator device.

Edit: I should mention, in Xcode 10.

Edit 2: I'll post my universal framework script

Answer 4

Possibly connected to bad swift version

Try to check your current swift packages with

swiftenv versions

use install or uninstall commands respectively

swiftenv uninstall (install)

To install swiftenv use

brew install kylef/formulae/swiftenv

Answer 5

For me just restarting XCode solved it.
