Xcode 8.2: Unable to load configuration data from specified path / permission error in Mac OSX App:

Question

I have a Mac OSX app that I have previously been able to test - however when I run tests now - it will work once and then fail with the error below in the console. I need to do some drastic things to get it working:

If I

1. change the location of my Derived Data folder
2. and clean build folder - then it will usually work again once or twice before but when I run tests again it will happen again.

Any ideas of what I can do to fix it permanently - below is pretty much Greek to me..

I have tried the following:

1. moving the derived data into Documents
2. installing new Xcode from Appstore.
3. Deleting and re-adding Certificates and profiles

Answer 1

In Xcode 9 I found a solution, that worked for me.

Go to Xcode > File > Project Settings... (or Workspace Settings...)
Select New Build System (Preview) as Build System under Shared Settings.

Make sure to select Use Shared Setting under Per-User Project Settings.
