Xcode 11.2 and 11.2.1 GM SEED -- Cannot install to device

I've got an Xcode Catalyst / SwiftUI project that I had been developing under Xcode 11.1. Under 11.1, everything works correctly.

When I upgraded to Xcode 11.2, I started getting the error:

Unable to Install "App_Name"

(where "App_Name" is the name of my actual app.)

If I click Details, it shows the following:

);
}

The result is the same under 11.2.1 GM SEED (19B88).

If I go back to 11.1, it works normally and runs on device.

If I try different iOS devices, it still fails.

If I create a new Catalyst / SwiftUI project from the Xcode template, it runs on device without issue.

Note that I also did look at this posting: Xcode 11.2 - Unable to install App file to device?. I posted this as a separate question, because the actual Failure Reason given, is quite different, and thus, they are most likely two unrelated issues.

Build device: 2018 MacBook Pro 15", running macOS Catalina Version 10.15.1 (19B88)

Xcode 11.2 and 11.2.1 GM SEED (11B53)

iOS 13.2.2 on iPhone 11 Pro Max (also tested on iPhone XS Max and iPhone X with other earlier versions of iOS 13.)

I've tried switching between "Automatically manage signing" and selecting manually, but nothing I've changed has helped.

Obviously Xcode 11.2 is doing something different with respect to code-signing that's breaking this, but I'm not sure what.

Tried deleting DerivedData too, of course.

Thank you!

Solution

  • I found the solution to this based on some help from Ted Jucevic @ Apple (thanks Ted!).

    The problem was the entitlements file was corrupted.

    Here it is as xml:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key></key>
    <array>
        <string></string>
    </array>
    <key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write</key>
    <true/>
    <key>com.apple.security.network.server</key>
    <true/>
    <key>com.apple.security.personal-information.location</key>
    <true/>
    <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key>
    <true/>
    <key>com.apple.security.network.client</key>
    <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

    Here's what it looked like in Xcode:

    App_Name.entitlements

    As you can see, right at the top, there is an empty item:

    <key></key>
<array>
    <string></string>
</array>

    This was probably supposed to be a keychain-access-groups entitlement, such as is described here.

    Anyway, deleting that bogus entry above resolved it, and I am now able to build-and-run on device again. I have no idea how it initially became corrupted, but I think it had something to do with Xcode 11.2.

    Hopefully this info helps someone else too!
