iOS simulator broken with new updates

I get an error when trying to build a simulator IPA for testing on OSx.

Here is the error:

ld: unexpected token: !tapi-tbd-v3 file '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator.sdk/usr/lib/libc++.tbd' for architecture x86_64

Compilation failed while executing : ld64

I'm guessing this is related to updates to xcode, simulator, itunes etc...

Any direction greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking,

    Hi Pravishti,

    Is there any update on this issue or a workaround?

    The simulator is a really powerful tool for testing on various iOS devices.

    Hi,

    Could you please try once with following workaround and let us know if things are working fine for you:

    • Replace the Runtime LD located at the path <AIRSDK>/lib/aot/bin/ld64/ld64 with the one which comes with Xcode 9.3.
    • You can find it at location: <Xcode9.3InstallDir>/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/ld.

    Also, do not forget to rename ld to ld64.

    Thanks,

    I am experiencing the same issue. I am able to package for release, but I cannot package for debug on either device or in simulator. Full error:

    ld: unexpected token: !tapi-tbd-v3 file '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk/usr/lib/libc++.tbd' for architecture arm64

    ld: unexpected token: !tapi-tbd-v3 file '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk/usr/lib/libc++.tbd' for architecture armv7

    Compilation failed while executing : ld64

    Is there any update from Adobe regarding this? It's completely impossible to compile iOS currently.

    Perhaps we can elevate it to the bug tracker? There must be lots of users experiencing this if it's not isolated to us.
