This error message

Answer 1

The most common cause turned out to be, that the "conflict text" from a git merge is crept into the actual file:

<<<<<<< HEAD
                some code
=======
                some code
>>>>>>> 

You can check it by opening the project file in a text editor and then fix it. opening the project.pbxproj in a text editor made the fix easy.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

I ran into this issue. Fixed all cases of

<<<<<<< HEAD
            some code
=======
            some code
>>>>>>> 

But the issue was one of those markers was going through a }; that finished a block in my .pbxproj file. Going through and making sure all brackets are closed might be the answer.
