Failed to read file attributes for Images.xcassets in Xcode 9

Question

I have old project that is running in Xcode 8 fine but when i am trying to run the project in Xcode 9 beta version I am getting the error

Failed to read file attributes for Images.xcassets

You should check your group name and full path in File inspector. — Nirav Kotecha, Sep 19 '17 at 13:10
I have checked the path is correct. Actually the project creation year is 2012. Now for the latest project imageAsset name updated with "Assets.xcassets". As I mentioned it is an old project, Earlier the name of imageAsset was "Images.xcassets". That could be the reason of the error — Arvind Kumar, Sep 19 '17 at 13:16
@Anbu.Karthik I have checked the path is correct. If there is path issue then it should not work in Xcode 8 too. — Arvind Kumar, Sep 19 '17 at 13:22
@Anbu.Karthik Still same error after deleting the derived data and clean the project — Arvind Kumar, Sep 19 '17 at 13:26
Can you right click on the Image.xcassets then show it in finder and tell us if the folder is called Images.xcassets or images.xcasset ? — Ali Abbas, Sep 19 '17 at 13:31
Thanks guys for your help! Issue has been resolved by removing the reference of Images.xcassets and adding it again. — Arvind Kumar, Sep 19 '17 at 13:44

I am running into this as well. What do you mean exactly when you say 'removing the reference'? – edhnb Sep 23 '17 at 18:48

When you delete any file you will get 2 option remove reference or delete file from project. In case of remove reference file will be in your project but not in your Xcode navigator – Arvind Kumar Sep 25 '17 at 06:01
@ArvindKumar solved, Now you can accept your answer as correct. – Varun Naharia Oct 10 '17 at 11:35
This fixed it for me as well – Craigt May 12 '18 at 09:32

I did face the same errors what you've but I just fixed it following ways-

Delete the project's derived data
Exit Xcode and open it again

Check your "Full path" in inspector and path in Finder, probably they are different. I also had this issue. on my pc was ../Development/MyProject/.. and ../development/MyProject/.. so in that was problem

I believe it is related to bug of cocoapods causes compilation error. To solve this, you can try add this to your podfile to the bottom level :

Change the target name according to your target name

post_install do |installer|

copy_pods_resources_path = "Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-XXXTARGETNAMEXXX/Pods-XXXTARGETNAMEXXX-resources.sh"
string_to_replace = '--compile "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${UNLOCALIZED_RESOURCES_FOLDER_PATH}"'
assets_compile_with_app_icon_arguments = '--compile "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${UNLOCALIZED_RESOURCES_FOLDER_PATH}" --app-icon "${ASSETCATALOG_COMPILER_APPICON_NAME}" --output-partial-info-plist "${BUILD_DIR}/assetcatalog_generated_info.plist"'
text = File.read(copy_pods_resources_path)
new_contents = text.gsub(string_to_replace, assets_compile_with_app_icon_arguments)
File.open(copy_pods_resources_path, "w") {|file| file.puts new_contents }

end

It fixes for me by update to latest Cocoapods:

sudo gem install cocoapods --pre

Make sure Images.xassets path is correct, especially you git clone or copy the project from others, otherwise you have to select correct local path first in storyboard. – Yao Li Dec 04 '17 at 21:59
