xcodebuild fails, but building from Xcode succeeds

I'm trying to automate my build using xcodebuild.

However, my xcodebuild fails while building static libraries, complaining that it can't find headers that are part of dependency frameworks.

No problem to build from Xcode.

Why is the result of xcodebuild different from the one of Xcode?

Solution

  • You might accidentally build the Xcode project instead of the Xcode Workspace from xcodebuild.

    If this is the case, replace:

    xcodebuild -project "<*yourProjectFile*>.xcodeproj"

    with:

    xcodebuild -workspace <*yourWorkspaceFile*>.xcworkspace

    After fixing this I get the exact same results from Xcode and xcodebuild.
