XCode 5 cannot find binaries - objective-c

Since I started using CocoaPods, I've been having weird location related messages all the time, and some arch-related ones too.
I've been trying the whole day to figure out why it was happening, until I create a new Xcode project from scratch and realize the issue wasn't project-related all along.
Here's what's happening:
I always get those everywhere as well:
Not sure if related but I get those often too:
Anybody has those as well? What should I do?
Thanks!

I had to switch Build Active Architectures Only for debug to Yes and it let the build run.

What does "Register MyApp.app" means in the Xcode Build log?

I am developing a project for macOS. The project is very small so far, and it uses macOS storyboards, Swift and Objective-C. I noticed abnormal delays while building, even with a very small change to the codebase, and found out, in the Xcode Build log, that there is the last entry:
Register MyApp.app
That takes 31 seconds to execute. Does anybody know what it can be and how it can be made faster ? Many thanks for your help.
EDIT:
I expanded the entry in the log, it says:
RegisterWithLaunchServices /Users/fofo/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Myapp-augvduoefsyddebwifpwnceelymu/Build/Products/Debug/MyApp.app
Thanks again
It usually helps to delete “DerivedData” folder

Xcode mixing Branches

This may sound strange, but I am having issues with Xcode mixing branches, or at least messing everything up.
I created a new branch (v1.4), then created a new data model and renamed an entity. Had to switch back to previous branch (v1.3) to check something and I get errors at run time on v1.3, it's looking for the new entity name from Branch v1.4 - what the %$^#% is happening. I searched the files, the new entity name is nowhere in v1.3.
I switch branches again to v1.2 and it ran fine. So, switched to V1.3 again - nogo. Switched back to v1.2 and it has the same issue now, runtime error because it can't find the new entity name.
What is happening? Anyone else have this issue?
Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
OS X 10.11.6
Xcode 7.1.1
==[EDIT]===
I am not real familiar with GIT, just starting to learn. I ran the couple commands as mentioned, get nothing for either git diff commands.
Running git status --ignored I do get multiple files as untracked - still working on understanding why (Separate issue) - couple object files and 2 data models (Was 3, but manually added one to commit.
Also I get 3 ignored files:
.DS_Store
projectName.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/
projectName/.DS_Store
That's as far as I've gotten. Not familiar enough with git to know if these ignored files are the ones I should delete.
Second option - will restoring from time machine fix this? It may be a little extra work for me to recreate v1.4 but probably less time than I've already spent trying to figure out how to fix it.
I do appreciate both comments so far - thank you.
==[SECOND EDIT]==
Thanks again for your comments.
However, do to time and schedule I perform a Time Machine backup before ElpieKay posted the last comment, so I will not be able to test it.
Reverting back did "fix" it as you'd expect, but I did lose several hours of work but life happens. I will keep this for if/when this happens again and try the git clean -df to see it fixes it.
On a side note - while I was switching back and forth between V1.3 and V1.4 trying to figure this out, 2 of the model versions disappeared on v1.4 - i.e. the name turned red in Xcode and when I viewed the contents of the file they were missing. I do not know if this is related or not, but I thought I would mention it. This happened one other time and I thought maybe I did something - I did a time machine restore to fix it last time. Wonder if git clean -df would have fixed it.

Reference not found after switching from Debug to Release mode

I have a problem with several references in my VB.NET project.
For example I have this line of code:
Dim m As New Chilkat.Email
It comes from the library "ChilkatDotNet45.dll".
When I click on "References" and locate this dll, I can see that it has the settings "Use local copy" and "Do not include interop types".
When I switch to Release mode, the compiler tells me that "Chilkat.EMail" is not defined.
I have this problem with several DLLs, so it is not specific to Chilkat.
Can somebody tell me what I did wrong?
Thank you.
One of the standard approaches to solving any programming-related issue is trying to reduce the scope of the investigation. If you have a big project, in which something doesn't work, try to create a smaller project, and try to replicate desired functionality in it. Reduce as much as possible, down to a brand new project with maybe 5-10 lines of code in it.
If you were unable to solve your problem after making a reduced test case, now it's good time to post it on StackOverflow. I am usually reducing problems while writing a question on SO (not before, as one might think), constantly thinking "ok, is it minimized enough"; and this is how 90% of the questions never get posted - I often find a solution along the way of reducing my question to bare bones. :)
In your case, can you build a simplified project which has this problem and post a link here? We could then try switching Debug to Release on our machines and see if the we can reproduce. There are too many options to do the guesswork.

Xcode 4.4 unable to rename classes/variables

On both Xcode 4.4 and 4.4.1 I'm experiencing the same issue in that with the specific project I'm working on, I don't seem to be able to rename any classes or variables from the Refactor menu option.
Each time I try and do a rename, I type in the new name for the class/variable and click Preview at which point the bottom left begins a spinner with Finding files.... However, I then get a message saying:
The selection is not a type that can be renamed.
Make a different selection and try again.
I'm pretty sure that this is not an issue with my specific install of Xcode, because I can refactor other projects fine, it's just that I can't seem to be able to refactor this specific project.
Anyone with any ideas? I don't have any particularly exotic configuration for this project, it just seems to be a random affliction. I've deleted all of my derived data and re-indexed, but that doesn't seem to help.
Since it works OK in other projects, I'm thinking one thing I could try to do is re-generate the actual project file(s) itself. I don't know if there is a way to do this automatically?
If they're in dropbox get them out of there. It mangles project files. I've had it happen numerous times and at times it makes refactoring > renaming not work.
I have managed to solve this issue after trying many different things (tweaking project settings, pch, etc.) and it turns out there was a very simple (and totally counter-intuitive) method of fixing this issue.
All I have done is:-
Copy my entire project folder (so from Project to Project Copy).
Move Project (the original folder) to trash.
Rename Project Copy to Project.
Mysteriously, everything now works fine.
I really cannot figure out why this works. As mentioned previously, I had already deleted all derived data, etc. so I don't know why this should make things spontaneously work, but it does.
Would appreciate anyone who is able to shed some light on this as it does expose just how fiddly Xcode can be, and any understanding of what goes on under the hood is always beneficial.
Sounds like a buggered index.
I usually use the nuke from space option to delete everything in the derived data directory.
Unless you have changed it (I change mine to /tmp/bbum-derived), it'll be at:
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
Thus, I'll quit Xcode and do:
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
Yes, it is a bit brute force, but it works. You can likely force Xcode to rebuild the index from the UI, but I never bother. Of course, I'm also installing quite a few "odd" builds of this and that as a part of my day job...
(that is an rm -rf. It means "nuke everything and don't ask" in unix parlance. It is dangerous. Do not mistype that command.)
It seems you have an active selection somewhere in the gui, perhaps some of your files or classes are selected ? Try unselect in every sub window and retry refactoring.
I'm a bit late to this thread, but I ran into the same problem today and I was able to get it to finally refactor correctly, thought I share it.
So in large part I did what bbum said, I closed xCode, nuked the Derived data for the project the class files were in and re opened the project. Doing just that, it didn't work; the key, I found (at least for me), is that I had to do a clean (command shift k) after xCode restarts. After that I was able to rename the class files again :)
Also as a side note, my project is divided into the main project, and a static library. When I had to rename classes in the static library, I had to quit the main project and do what I described in the static library itself. Somehow I got the same error described in the question when I tried to do the refactor/rename from the main project.
Good luck!
This thread was very helpful for me in determining the problem.
It turned out that I had to Repair Disk with Disk Utility. I had visited a site earlier that had hijacked Safari and was telling me to call a number for emergency repairs, an obvious scam.
I followed the Disk Utility instructions to repair disk (including restarting with CMD-R pressed). Another clue was that I tried to commit to git and Xcode said No Way, Jose.
Afterwards I was able to refactor and commit changes as if nothing ever happened. I hope this helps someone else as a possible cause to investigate.

What is the correct way to upgrade a Lazarus project?

Some months ago I installed Lazarus 0.9.28 + FPC 2.2.4 to work on a new project. Some time after it I ran into some bugs related with image loading on a TImage. After googling a bit I found some information pointing to the fact that the bugs I was facing were already solved in a later version of FPC (can't remember the link now).
So I decided to download and install a newer version. This was around January and the latest stable version was not released yet, so I choose to install the snapshot Lazarus 0.9.31-29128 + FPC 2.4.2-2011-01-20. I opened my project with the new IDE and compiled it.
Luckily the bugs I faced were gone, but I have run into an IDE (?) one. After the upgrade, when I am on the code tab of some of my forms I do not see the code formatted. Instead I only see plain text, like this:
But on some forms I see the code formatted correctly, like this:
Anyone has run into this before? If yes, could you solve it and how? Or can anyone tell me what the correct way to upgrade a Lazarus project between versions is?
It is more of a nuisance than a real problem but still I would like to solve it. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT
I noticed that in the forms where the code shows correctly highlighted the LCLVersion in the .lfm file is 0.9.28.2, while in the forms where the code shows like plain text that property in the .lfm file is 0.9.31. Could have something to do with the problem? I tried changing the value but it did not change anything.
Thanks in advance and best regards
I don't know if this is actually causing your problem, but Lazarus keeps a set of settings in application local. ($user\AppData\Local\lazarus on my vista).
This config dir is not erased upon deinstallation, and the new installation will reuse this.
In case of strange problems, remove the config dir, and let the current installation generate a new one.
