Hey, is this supposed to run as an Xcode Run Script phase? If so, what Xcode version? On 11.3 it gets stuck on Using build description from memory

Sorry I think I ran it from the wrong target. Thank you for the Gist I think it is working correctly

It's not working with Xcode 12, can any one help?

Hi @DineshKachhot, there is a missing part to exclude build ARCHs of Apple Silicon Mac. I don't remember the exact syntax. Maybe @dj110r and @21DerickDerick can help

I would like add two two steps to do before run this script, change you Build settings like follow,
Skip install - NO
Build libraries for distribution - YES

Though it is already added in the script, in my case it was not working.

Now I am getting following error for one of the files from my library,

..../MPUtil.m normal armv7 objective-c com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler

invalid argument 'Project'.
When i am trying to run this build phase script

Works great, thank you.

Xcode Version 13.4.1 (13F100)

This worked perfect for me. XCode 14.1
Make sure

1. you add aggregate target
2. add the run script.
3. Build the newly added target

If you add run script in existing target -- multiple failures will be occured.

• you can see error like name.xcodeproj does not exists
• XCode can stuck with Using build description from memory
• XCode build process can go in recursive/infinite loop

I got issue error: binaries with multiple platforms are not supported, the architecture of the binary in -SIMULATOR.xcarchive one seems to contains arm64 & x86_64 (maybe this is the issue?). Can someone help me on this? Thanks!
