Cycle inside ; building could produce unreliable results: Xcode Error

Question

I am trying to move to the new build system when compiling with Xcode 10. However, it gives the following error:

Cycle details: → Target 'project' : LinkStoryboards  Target 'project' has compile command with input '/Users/project/Commons/Components/ScreenshotSharing/ViewController/AppShare.storyboard'  Target 'project' : ValidateEmbeddedBinary /Users/project/Xcode/DerivedData/project-hgqvaddkhmzxfkaycbicisabeakv/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/project.app/PlugIns/stickers.appex  Target 'project' has process command with input '/Users/project/Resources/Info.plist'  Target 'project' has compile command with input '/Users/project/Commons/Components/ScreenshotSharing/ViewController/AppShare.storyboard' 

Even after removing the problem file, I get the same for another xib/storyboard. How can I solve this error without reverting to the legacy build system?

Answer 1

For anybody having an issue with Xcode 10 build system, follow the following steps to fix it:

1. In Xcode, go to File->Project/Workspace settings.
2. Change the build system to Legacy Build system.

It will resolve the build issue with the new Xcode.

If you want to work with the new build system, then you can find the troubleshooting help from this apple Xcode help page.

Answer 2

I was having this issue with Cocoapods. The solution was to clean the build folder re-install all pods, and then rebuild the app. The issue resolved itself that way.
