I tried to fix that in a lot of manners, but I cannot. Ways that I tried:

• Xcode Clean action on the project
• deleting content of /Users/losiennik/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
• removing and adding again Crashlytics.framework and Fabric.framework in Xcode 6.3.1 target Build Phases from Link Binary from Libraries
• deleting those framework files from the project physically and adding them again from the other project where I've installed frameworks from the scratch
• deleting /var/folders content

I've made every possible combination of that possible solution, and also tried with running and killed xcode, restarting OS also. Nothing works.

Do you have any other ideas? Maybe somebody know where else Xcode stores temporary files which can be used while compiling and linking processes? Do somebody have similar experience while updating that framework?

Answer 1

It turned out that the cause of the problem was related with the other problem that I had. That problem caused that I couldn't register specific app ID with fabric plugin help which was previously added to our old organization account. I deleted that app ID from that old organization but still couldn't add one to the new organization.

Thanks to fabric support member, it turned out that my app ID was in weird state on backend side. When that was corrected, my app ID appeared on our organization account and then the fabric plugin downloaded the proper version of Crashlytics.framework file. After that I don't have any problems with Apple Mach-O Linker Error related to Crashlytics binaries.

Summarising, when only you have the problem described above or the problem with adding app ID, write directly to fabric support and don't waste your time.

Thanks fabric team :)!
