Handling Cycle inside Runner; building could produce unreliable results after update xcode to xcode 15

Question

I am upgrading xcode into 15 and ios into 17 version. But when I try to build my flutter project in iphone 15 pro max, I get this error

Error (Xcode): Cycle inside Runner; building could produce unreliable results.
Cycle details:
→ Target 'Runner': CodeSign /Users/umsi06/Documents/project/devV17Ke18/build/ios/Debug-iphonesimulator/Runner.app
○ That command depends on command in Target 'Runner': script phase “[CP] Embed Pods Frameworks”
○ That command depends on command in Target 'Runner': script phase “Thin Binary”
○ Target 'Runner' has process command with output '/Users/umsi06/Documents/project/devV17Ke18/build/ios/Debug-iphonesimulator/Runner.app/Info.plist'
○ Target 'Runner' has copy command from '/Users/umsi06/Documents/project/devV17Ke18/build/ios/Debug-iphonesimulator/OneSignalNotificationServiceExtension.appex' to '/Users/umsi06/Documents/project/devV17Ke18/build/ios/Debug-iphonesimulator/Runner.app/PlugIns/OneSignalNotificationServiceExtension.appex'
○ That command depends on command in Target 'Runner': script phase “[CP] Copy Pods Resources”

is there a way to solve this

only thing that works for me is this https://mcmap.net/q/535431/-cycle-inside-my-app-building-could-produce-unreliable-results-on-xcode-15-0-1-15a507-and-macos-sonoma – Mush

Answer 1

I managed to solve it by moving Embed Foundation Extensions right bellow Copy Bundle Resources in the Xcode Build Phases configuration like this

Note, that my project is quiet large and it is using things like OneSignalNotificationServiceExtension.appex in the Embed Foundation Extensions phase. Thats why this was needed.

This might not work for everyone but might help someone with similar project config.

My other project config:

• cococapods v1.13.0
• Flutter 3.13.5

Hi I have done it, and finally I can build my project.. I run it from xcode to simulator and it is really fine, but when I try to do debugging from my code, it is really takes a long time to build. (Xcode build done and stuck in keep Launching...) and another error show: here is my error log gist.github.com/wahyu-handayani/… can you give me a suggestion to solve this ? – Commorancy

This answer is worth 100 million upvotes! This cost me about a week of frustration to fix!.. I upgraded from Ventura to Sonoma which forced XCODE update to 15 and caused this. In the end i reinstalled back to Ventura which did not fix the issue (as the problem is probably with XCODE 15), reinstalled flutter and Android studio and then somehow found this which fixed the problem.. GOD BLESS YOU! – Impacted

Answer 2

In my case, I have to move up Embed App Extensions above Copy Bundle Resources

In sort Embed Extensions need to be up above Copy Bundle Resources

For anyone Feeling lost, this how to do it. I'm just providing a clarification for @MartinM answer.

In step 4: Make sure Embed App Extensions is below Copy Bundle Resources.

Answer 4

Managed to fix the error just by moving 'Embed Foundation Extensions' up before the 'Run Script' steps in the build phases.

Answer 5

If you have watch extension within your project, you need to move it above Copy Bundle Resources as well, like this:

Same applies to an AppClip – Knurled

Answer 6

It worked for me aswell. The copy only when installing in the embeded foundation extension, solved the error but it didn't launch the widget. This Embed Foundation Extensions right bellow Copy Bundle Resources works. I hope moving Embed Foundation Extensions doesn't cause any other issues in the app.

Answer 7

None of the rearranging Build Phases worked by itself. What worked for me was:

1. Build Settings
2. Plus in top left
3. Add User Defined Setting
4. Set value INSTALL_ROOT to /

And then on top of that, my build phase is:
