Open project.pbxproj in text editor and check special svn marks & remove them

  • you want to take the project file, .xcodeproj , and right click on it. Select "show package contents". That will show you the project.pbxproj file. This is what you open in a text editor. – user798719 Mar 12 '12 at 04:27

Slim's answer is correct:

Look for the SVN marks in project.pbxproj file... remove them and it will parse correctly.

See my before and after:

BEFORE:

     1325                                   238A69591382B45C00494480 /* HUDLayer.m in Sources,
     1326   <<<<<<< .mine
     1327                                   23D080F313835E8C004F0E5C /* GameSummaryViewController.m in Sources */,
     1328   =======
     1329                                   1023605613843E070058620A /* segmentedTimer.m in Sources */,
     1330   >>>>>>> .r121
     1331

AFTER:

     1325                                   238A69591382B45C00494480 /* HUDLayer.m in Sources */,
     1326                                   23D080F313835E8C004F0E5C /* GameSummaryViewController.m in Sources */,
     1327                                   23F2D5E2138484EE00421AEF /* segmentedTimer.m in Sources */,
     1328                           );

This will parse fine. Open in Xcode and commit the project.pbxproj to SVN. This is for Xcode 4.0

You probably have a conflict in your project.pbxproj file (inside MacStubs.xcodeproj). When that file has a conflict, it's usually best to revert it and make your changes to it again.

  • will you explain how to revert it step by step please? –  Sep 30 '09 at 05:10
  • Perhaps you should read the SVN documentation a little more if you're going to be using it regularly. Basic knowledge of source control systems is a definite must when developing software. If you're using the svn command line client, then type svn --help – Jasarien Sep 30 '09 at 07:54
