Bug XCode 14.3 breaks my previously working iOS build with double-quote errors

Apparently my XCode auto-updated last night to 14.3 and now my previously working iOS buid is no longer working. I'm receiving errors like this:

double-quoted include "UnityAppController.h" in framework header, expected angle-bracketed instead

Does anyone have a solution to this or is experiencing something similar? I'm on Unity 2021.3.18f1.


Additional information: I'm building the Xcode Unity project from the Windows version of Unity 2021.3.18f1.

 

Yes Yes Yes. Same issue........

 

I am experiencing the same issue on 2021.3.17.

 

Not that I know of. This is a direct build from Unity 2021.3.18f1. Once I open the XCode file that Unity exports and then try and Build (Play button on XCode), these errors are causing "BUILD FAILED" and my project can no longer be run or built.

 

Having the same issues with 14.3. I'm suspecting the error is missleading us..and the isue is something else.
I've tried:
- pod deintegrate/install again
- editing my podfile to force IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to 12.0 (the same as the Target minimum iOS Version from Unity)

I can't figure out what it could be.. it was working fine on 14.2

 

I've installed a copy of XCode 14.2 until Unity provides an update or bug fix. Here's the link if anyone needs to downgrade:

https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=xcode

You can have both versions installed, I just renamed this one to XCode 14.2. Then when you want to build your iOS project, right click on the Unity XCode project file and choose "Open With > XCode 14.2".

 

Do 14.2 give support to ios 16.4? I deployed my app 3 days ago and it got rejected because it was crashing on ios 16.4, then I upgraded xcode from 14.1 to 14.3, now it wont work when i click in archive... I readed downgrading to 14.2 would help...

 

I don't even use Unity but ended up on this thread because I'm getting the same bunch of errors since I upgraded to Xcode 14.3.
After trying a bunch of things yesterday and loosing my head around it, I decided to go back to Xcode 14.2.
I don't know what Apple has changed but it definitely smells bad on this version.

 

My Unity builds with Xcode 14.2 work okay in iOS 16.3.1 which is the latest version on my phone.

 

Just to chime in, I have a copy of Unity-generated Xcode project from 2021.3 branch and it was still compiling just as fine for me with Xcode 14.3. Not sure what the cause is.

 

Was it built from the Mac or Windows version of Unity? I'm building from Windows, might make a difference. Not sure.

 

So in general, is it advised to address the "Update to recommended settings" warning in Unity Xcode projects? This is what I've been doing since Xcode 14.2 and I noticed something today. Xcode 14.3 added some new options that are causing the initial bug that I reported:



Xcode 14.2:


Xcode 14.3:


When I uncheck 'Target Unity Framework' - Enable Module Verifier, my game is able to be built with Xcode 14.3 and works on my iOS devices. So it appears this isn't a bug, but a "feature" of the new Xcode version.

In general, which recommend settings should we check when building out a Unity project for iOS?

 

The build was done on Mac entirely.

 

None of these are mandatory, so it’s best to not adopt the recommendation yourself unless they are required by Xcode or App Store Connect, until Unity clean up their Xcode template (it has lots of old stuff in there)

 

Hello,

My app also just got rejected today on App Store Connect because it is crashing on iOS 16.4.

It's working fine on Android and previous versions of iOS.

Going to post later if I found something useful.

 

Changing "UnityAppController.h" to <UnityFramework/UnityAppController.h> worked!
Same for the other errors!

 

you mean never.

 

Believe me, if you were to work for any large company, "don't change it if it ain't broke" would be the first motto to go by, as much as we all want the cutting edge stuff. Xcode is the worst offender in breaking changes, but it's Apple, so eventually Unity (and every other company that has their own non-standard build tools) will have to do some fixing.

 

Any update?

 

"Update to recommended settings" with xcode 14.3 is enabling "a new module verifier"...
Go to target settings and disable should fix the issue :

ENABLE_MODULE_VERIFIER = NO;

 

Thanks batsans, that was the problem for me. For anyone else struggling to find this setting, It's on the Build Settings tab, select Target UnityFramework, the All button to list all build options and type Module Verifier into the search box. There may be a quicker way but this worked for me.

 

Thanks batsans and dave_oak, changing this setting in Xcode did the trick for me.

 

Fixed it for me! Thank you, there were suggestions from other threads that didn't quite work.

 

I found this reference which worked for me. Basically, it says to install v 1.12.1 of cocoapods.

I am getting a similar issue but with linking objects.

I tried the workarounds mentioned above, but nothing seems to fix the issues, any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Worked for me as well.
