Error while running project in XCode about devutils-app

[ace3]

in my case, i'm using Xcode Version 11.6 (11E708)

1. Remove the reference of the old DiffMatchPatch.framework.
2. Open the google-diff-match-patch-Objective-C project, then build it.
3. On the left Menu, there is Product Folder, and have a DiffMatchPatch.framework.
4. Drag into the DevUtils Xcode Project, to replace the already removed DiffMatchPatch.framework.
5. If you are doing it correctly, you will have the framework with Colored Brick Icon.
6. Build the App as you usually do , and do forget to set the Team in Signing & Capabilities.

And thank you for the creator of this App for creating this useful Tools.

This solution resolved my issue, with one additional step not mentioned.

7. Go into the target's General tab. From there select the Embedded Binaries field and add the dragged-and-dropped framework from step 4. You can read more here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24333981/ios-app-with-framework-crashed-on-device-dyld-library-not-loaded-xcode-6-beta

I was able to get this working by removing the reference to the DiffMatchPatch.framework. I built that project as described and then referenced the DiffMatchPatch.framework artifact after a successful build from Products within the google-diff-match-patch-Objective-C Xcode project. Once it's referenced in the DevUtils project make sure it's set to Embed & Sign so that it's appropriately linked when building/running DevUtils. If you want specific steps, please let me know and I can expand here.

Thanks, I did remove/delete the Derived data directory and rebuilt the project. Still facing the same issue.

try

carthage bootstrap --platform macOS --no-use-binaries

Hi there,
Sorry about the missing build instruction, this is a new framework introduced recently and I haven't updated the doc yet.

You need to build the diff-match-patch framework manually by opening the XCode project in the google-diff-match-patch-Objective-C directory. Then add the framework to the "Frameworks" folder in the main project like so:

I'll update the doc soon (or maybe better: make this step unnecessary).

Thank you,

I built the project separately in a separate XCode window and then observed that it was already in there:

It still gives me the same error. Thanks again for helping with build.

[trungdq88]

@varunarang Just checking, have you been able to build the app? The description by @SalmonKing72 is very helpful as well. (Thanks, @SalmonKing72 !)

[varunarang]

Thank you for the followup @trungdq88. I kept struggling with Xcode v12.
After following through the setups by @ace3, I ended up getting this error:

DevUtils-app/TINOBHNYWE/Components/HotkeyRecorder.swift:10:8: No such module 'ShortcutRecorder'

And then, I retried using Xcode v11.6 after resetting the project code-base to revert changes. Though the project built successfully, it continued to show the below error on running:

This may be a stupid question, thanks in advance for helping answer.

can you try to clean the derivated data first. then try redo building the app.

[varunarang]

Thanks, I did remove/delete the Derived data directory and rebuilt the project. Still facing the same issue.

thx, works for me

[DanielGibbsNZ]

Just a note that when dragging DiffMatchPatch.framework into the DevUtils Xcode project, it only worked for me when I checked "Copy items if needed".

[trungdq88]

I just pushed the prebuilt DiffMatchPatch.framework to the repo so I hope this won't be a problem anymore. The project should be build and run-able without a manual build for the DiffMatchPatch library. (But you can rebuild it anytime if you want to).

I'll try to make the build process better in the future. Feel free to reopen this if you still have problems with it.
