my podfile:

when i try to build the project , i got the following error: "'/Target Support Files/Pods-Salotime/Pods-Salotime-frameworks-Debug-output-files.xcfilelist'"

Although the file is in right path , it's doesn't success to load contents of file

Removing these input and output parameters in the POD build phases and after that 'pod install' fixed it for me. – Liable

Answer 1

This is what worked for me:

1. delete the platforms and plugins folder
2. remove the cached data rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/Cocoapods
3. Remove Derived Data rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
4. run pod deintegrate
5. run pod setup
6. run pod install
7. re run whatever build command you have to recreate your platforms and plugins folder

I think this error comes about because of an issue with pods not using semantic versioning. You can read more about this at https://gist.github.com/mbinna/4202236. Clearing derivedData prevent xcode from re-reading the old code

Cleaning the project and removing Derived Data was sufficient for me. Thanks. – Pitfall

Answer 2

One possibility is adding path in Input File List by mistake.

Make sure to add path in Input Files, not in Input File List

Lemley

That was my case. I simply misclicked when added that path strings. Thank you! – Tectonic

Answer 3

I resolved this issue with....

1. Go to your Targets in xcode
2. Go to Build Phases
3. Next go to Run Script and check it has any files in input file lists or output file lists
4. Now, Remove files (input-files.xcfilelist / output-files.xcfilelist) using symbol - from Input file Lists and Output file Lists respectively
