Lots of warnings when building with Xcode 7 with 3rd party libraries

I am getting a large number of warnings when compiling my project in Xcode 7 GM (bitcode is NOT enabled) in regards to third party static libraries. Xcode is complaining about "No such file or directory" or "Could not resolve external type". All of this used to work perfectly, the only changes made were an updated version of the library and the use of Xcode 7 GM.

 

This seems to be happening with many other people as well, as it can be seen here:http://sensiblecocoa.com/community/topic/2344-warnings-with-stv-500-and-xcode-7-beta-5/

 

Here is a sample list of warnings:

I had this problem too.  Here's how I fixed it.

 

1)  Go to Build Settings -> Build Options -> Debug Information Format

 

2)  Change the Debug setting from "DWARF with dSYM File" to "DWARF"

 

3)  Leave the Release setting at "DWARF with dSYM File"

 

The problem appears to be that Xcode was trying to create dSYM files for Debug builds.  You don't need dSYM files for Debug builds -- it's release builds where you need them. 

 

I hope this helps. 

 

Sincerely,
