Building project using xcodebuild fails with Xcode 7.2

Question

I just moved to Xcode 7.2 and am trying to compile a dynamic framework using xcodebuild and lipo

xcodebuild -project ProjectName.xcodeproj -scheme ProjectName -sdk iphonesimulator

This command fails with strange errors like Unsupported architecture (in frameworks like CoreText). The issue has also been discussed here but I don't see a solution which would work. Any help?

Answer 1

This is due to a bug in Xcode 7.2 (and 7.2.1).

A workaround suggestion has been provided in the supplied link since this question was asked. To sum up, you can add the parameter PLATFORM_NAME=iphonesimulator, and then it magically works. For example:

xcodebuild -project ProjectName.xcodeproj -scheme ProjectName -sdk iphonesimulator -arch i386 PLATFORM_NAME=iphonesimulator build

See also my answer here (where there is also another suggestion for a workaround)
