System Information
macOS Version 14.1 (Build 23B74)
Xcode 15.1 (22502) (Build 15C65)
Timestamp: 2024-01-08T18:24:30+05:00
The build succeeds but the path at which build is saved and the path from which Xcode tries to run on Watch simulator are different.
Actual build path: file:///Users/abdullahshahid_1/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/SIMOSA-hdnvefmzxxdlwqagsrxeojmlbnje/Build/Products/Debug-watchsimulator/Jazz%20World%20Watch%20App.app
Xcode is looking at path: file:///Users/abdullahshahid_1/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/SIMOSA-hdnvefmzxxdlwqagsrxeojmlbnje/Build/Products/Debug-watchos/Jazz%20World%20Watch%20App.app
Difference: Build is saved in Debug-watchsimulator folder but Xcode tries to install from Debug-watchos
I think Xcode uses path from TARGET_TEMP_DIR but I don’t know how to make it correct.
Do anyone know how to fix this?
I tried to clean build folder, clear derived data folder, restart Macbook and restart xcode. But couldn’t succeed.
The solutions I found on stack overflow are for React Native but nothing specifically for native iOS.
