xcode 7.2 Could not build Objective-C module

Question

I have just updated my Xcode to version 7.2. Now I try to build a framework from command line using xcodebuild but have this error

Everything worked well in XCode 7.1. so there must be something changed in XCode 7.2. Anyone has a clue?

Edit:

this is my build commmand

This works

xcodebuild clean build -workspace XYZ.xcworkspace -scheme ABC -configuration Debug -sdk iphoneos

This doesn't work:

xcodebuild clean build -workspace XYZ.xcworkspace -scheme ABC -configuration Debug -sdk iphonesimulator

Answer 1

One possible workaround would be to supply a destination by adding the following:

-destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 6'

In your case this would like this:

xcodebuild clean build -workspace XYZ.xcworkspace \ -scheme ABC -configuration Debug \ -sdk iphonesimulator \ -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 6'
