Answer 1

For me on Xcode 9.0.1 the solution has been the typical engineer solution:

1. Clean the project
2. Erase DerivedData
3. Reboot computer

Answer 2

This fix from the mentioned forum thread fixed it for me: Just delete the offending code!

1. Open the file the error points to (/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift/shims/UIKitOverlayShims.h for most people).
2. Delete the method _swift_UIKit_UIFocusEnvironmentContainsEnvironment, plus the surrounding compiler directives.

I rebuilt after that just to be sure, but that might not be necessary.

This is definitely a workaround; hopefully this will be fixed in a future version of Xcode.
