Missing file libarclite_iphoneos.a (Xcode 14.3)

Question

After installing Xcode 14.3 in order to run my app on my iOS 16.3 iPhone XS. I get the following error:

File not found: /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/arc/libarclite_iphoneos.a

How can I fix it?

Add the below code to the Podfile. It works for me. Version 14.3 beta 2 (14E5207e)

post_install do |installer|
    installer.generated_projects.each do |project|
          project.targets.each do |target|
              target.build_configurations.each do |config|
                  config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '13.0'
               end
          end
   end
end

Open Terminal and go to the following folder:

cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/

Create the folder "arc":

Go to System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Full Disk Access → Terminal, and do:

sudo mkdir arc
cd  arc
sudo git clone https://github.com/kamyarelyasi/Libarclite-Files.git .

Give the necessary permissions:

sudo chmod +x *

Now you will be able to build and run, but not Archive.

To fix this, follow the steps:

In Xcode, navigate to:

Pods → Target Support Files → Pods-Runner or Pods-App
Open file Pods-Runner-frameworks.sh or Pods-App-frameworks.sh
Find the line: source="$(readlink "${source}")"
Replace it by: source="$(readlink -f "${source}")"

Then...Archive

Actually, the other answers are correct, but to an amateur, it's still quite difficult to figure it out.

Answer:

It seems like iOS stopped supporting iOS 8, so the minimum should be 11.0

There are 2 ways to upgrade your iOS:

1- Manually update ALL targets with a minimum deployment at 11.0.

It will work perfectly but tiring, so...

2- Adjust the pod code to force all targets with a minimum deployment at 11.0.

post_install do |installer|
    installer.generated_projects.each do |project|
          project.targets.each do |target|
              target.build_configurations.each do |config|
                  config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '12.0'
               end
          end
   end
end

Remember to clean and de-integrate pod and re-install it.

cd [project directory]
pod deintegrate
pod clean
pod install

I updated the post_install in my Podfile to:

post_install do |installer|
  installer.generated_projects.each do |project|
    project.targets.each do |target|
      target.build_configurations.each do |config|
        config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '13.0'
      end
    end
  end

  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
  end
end

Additionally, I set the Minimum Deployments to 13 as well (Runner → Targets → Runner):

After this, I updated the project's pods by running this in the terminal:

cd ios;

# Remove the pods
pod deintegrate;

# Remove the Podfile.lock
rm -f Podfile.lock;

# Installs the pods
pod install --repo-update;

Try running the app from your IDE; it should work now.

If you continue to have issues, try cleaning the build folder within Xcode and running the app, also within Xcode.

Once you have successfully run the app from Xcode, go back to your IDE and you'll be able to run the app.

This works but now I can't build xcarchive or ipa. Do you have any fixes for this? Thanks for the answer btw — Anton, Apr 01 '23 at 10:56

Since Xcode 14.3 you have to set all your Pods to a minimum deployment target of iOS 11. Then it will work

Navigate to [Pods] project in the Project Navigator.
Select "each" target under it and perform the step 3 below.
Change the Minimum Deployment Target to iOS 11 version in the drop-down list therein.

After updating to XCode 14.3 I got the same error message as described in the question. In my case it was an error in a pod that was shown. My project is a native iOS app and no flutter like answers from others seem to be dealing with.

The following worked for me:

Comment out all pods in Podfile by adding # in front of each pod.
Close XCode.
Run pod install (will remove all pods).
Open xcworkspace project in XCode again and do a clean (command-shift-k).
Uncomment pods in Podfile and add this before the last end in the Podfile (change 11.0 to the minimum version you want to support):

post_install do |installer|
    installer.generated_projects.each do |project|
        project.targets.each do |target|
            target.build_configurations.each do |config|
                config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '11.0'
            end
        end
    end
end

Close XCode.
Run pod install.
Open xcworkspace project in XCode and error should be gone.

I spent hours and I've found out the problem. It was Xcode version 14.3.

I tried the above suggestions (update your podfile) and it worked, but the problem is you can't build IPA files or XCArchives.

Here's what I did in my case:

I downloaded Xcode version 14.2 here https://xcodereleases.com/
Just set the Command Line Tools to Xcode 14.2

P.S.: Just to make sure, run the usual first:

flutter clean && flutter pub get

With this, I was able to build and create XCArchives. I hope this helps other Flutter developers!

tl;dr: Change deployment target without downgrading pods

Many answers here are about updating IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET in the post_install hook of Cocoapods. I had to tweak this solution a little bit, since my project uses pods which already have a higher deployment target, and the provided solutions would downgrade them, causing their build to break (e.g. when the pods are using newer APIs).

So here's my patched approach, to only change the deployment target if it's too low:

post_install do | installer |
  installer.generated_projects.each do |project|
    project.targets.each do |target|
      target.build_configurations.each do |config|
        if config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'].split('.').first.to_i < 11
          config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '11.0'
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

Yep this seem the best answer for multiple pod versions. I use it like this: post_install do |installer| installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target| target.build_configurations.each do |config| if config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] == '8.0' config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '11.0' end end end end — david72, Aug 17 '23 at 23:35

Here are the step-by-step instructions, including the image links:

Open a web browser and go to the following URL: https://github.com/kamyarelyasi/Libarclite-Files
On the GitHub page, you will see a list of files. Locate the file named libarclite_iphonesimulator.a.
Click on the file name (libarclite_iphonesimulator.a) to open it.
On the file page, click the "Download" button to download the file to your computer. Choose a suitable location to save the file.
After the download is complete, locate the downloaded file (libarclite_iphonesimulator.a) on your computer.
Open the Finder application on your Mac.
In the menu bar, click on "Go" and select "Go to Folder" from the dropdown menu.
In the "Go to the folder" dialog box, enter the following path and click the "Go" button: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/arc/
If the arc directory does not exist in the specified path, right-click on the "arc" folder in the Finder and select "New Folder" from the context menu. Rename the newly created folder as "arc".
Now, locate the downloaded file (libarclite_iphonesimulator.a) and copy it.
Go back to the Finder window containing the arc directory.
Right-click on an empty space within the arc directory and select "Paste Item" from the context menu. This will paste the copied file (libarclite_iphonesimulator.a) into the arc directory.
Once the file is successfully copied, you have completed the process of downloading the files and copying the libarclite_iphonesimulator.a file to the specified location.

I succeed by this way, thanks – muyoungko Aug 05 '23 at 00:28 — muyoungko, Aug 05 '23 at 00:28

My system: Macbook pro M1

Xcode: 14.3

To fix this issue, you must ensure that the iOS Deployment Target of your pods is 11.0; pods with a iOS Deployment Target of 8.0 were causing the issue for me.

Example: pods that were set to iOS Deployment Target 8.0: leveldb-library, nanopb.

You will receive this error for any pods that are set to 8.0 when building, so change them to 11.0 either manually or with a post install script in your Podfile.

If you are working in swift/objective-c, No further action is needed except:

Navigate to [Pods] project in the Project Navigator.

Change the Minimum Deployments value to the lowest available version in the drop-down list therein. (DO NOT type in, manually)

@HangarRash Please take another look at my answer. It is well-written, straightforward and advises the readers against any unnecessary hassle such as adding extra code to the pod file, restarting Xcode etc. mentioned in other answers. More importantly, the step 2 is a must because the issue will not be resolved until it is ensured that each and every target is set to the lowest available version shown in the Minimum Deployments dropdown. – programmer Apr 24 '23 at 06:24

1. First update `PodFile`.

post_install do |installer|
  installer.generated_projects.each do |project|
    project.targets.each do |target|
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
            config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '11.0'
        end
    end
  end
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
  end
end

Update target as per your need. For me 11.0 was minimum requirement. This basically updates minimum deployments from anything you have to 11.0 so you don’t need to update manually.

Now Missing file libarclite_iphoneos.a must be fixed. However, you might get another issue while generating build. If so, please go through following steps.

2. Can't generate build?

.sh Path: flutter-project-folder/ios/Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-Runner/Pods-Runner-frameworks.sh

Steps

Open Pods-Runner-frameworks.sh file from sublime (or any other)
Search for source="$(readlink "${source}")" and replace it with source="$(readlink -f "${source}")"
Run flutter build ipa --release
[important] Now open sublime again. You will see it will remove -f. At this time immediately add -f again and save the file. Now the build should be successful.

This worked for me. Hope this helps.

Thanks

You can try adding this code to the Pod file

    post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '11.0'
    end
  end
end

Don't use this code

    post_install do |installer|
    installer.generated_projects.each do |project|
          project.targets.each do |target|
              target.build_configurations.each do |config|
                  config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '11.0'
               end
          end
   end
end

It seems like some files are missing from Xcode 14.3 above (including Xcode 15). You can add them back by this command:

sudo git clone https://github.com/MojtabaHs/xcode-arc `xcode-select -p`/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/arc

_{This will add them to the currently selected Xcode.
You can select another Xcode using xcode-select command and run the above command again to make it work too.}

I would like to improve moveFastLink's solution.

There are two things that I think could be improved:

In moveFastLink's solution, when one of the pods already has a higher deployment target, it will be "downgraded" to 13.0.
OP asks for a solution that solves his problem. For the problem to be solved, it's not necessary so set the target version of every pod to 13.0. Instead, 11.0 very much suffices.

For these reasons I propose to add this to the Podfile of your project:

wanted_project_target = 11.0

post_install do |installer|
  installer.generated_projects.each do |project|
    project.targets.each do |target|
      target.build_configurations.each do |config|
        current_project_target = config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'].to_f

        if current_project_target < wanted_project_target
            config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = wanted_project_target.to_s
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

This piece of code checks if the current IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is lower than the wanted_project_target and only re-assigns it to wanted_project_target if this is the case.

In one line: Just search for "iphoneos_deployment_target" in your xcode and and change any target lower than 11.0 to 11.0.

100% Working and Tested

For my case I was getting error like below:

When I have updated my Xcode with latest version, my running project was getting error.

Executable path is a directory

later I saw in Xcode below error:

This is how I resolved this:

By using terminal I have added arc directory and change its permission

Open the Terminal app in your Mac.
Enter command:

sudo mkdir arc

It will ask for permission if you haven't set permission previously for access in App Management.

4.Enter command in terminal:

cd  arc

Enter command in terminal:

sudo git clone https://github.com/kamyarelyasi/Libarclite-Files.git .

Once this command fired now this time to change permission

sudo chmod +x *

Almost done.

Simply search in Xcode for following:

source="$(readlink "${source}")"

and just replace it by following:

source="$(readlink -f "${source}")"

its look like:

DONE. You are able to generate build and also can able to run in simulator.

If you're running into this issue with the LevelDB CocoaPod (a dependency of FirebaseFirestore and FirebaseDatabase), we've published a version of leveldb-library (1.22.2), with updated minimum Apple platform versions to be compatible with Xcode 14. Run pod update to get 1.22.2.

You just need to update your pods to the newest version.

I reinstalled ruby with rvm and updated cocoapods. After that I updated my pods to the newest version and everything works fine (for me).
