How to solve this issue?

Answer 1

出现这种情况是因为assets目录下的JPG图片，所以我在项目中直接导入了jpg图片，现在可以了

Answer 2

I had the same issue with Xcode V7b6 and JPG images in assets. Strangely this was working for some JPGs but not for others.

Then I've looked at the JPGs and their color profile, exif data and other meta stuff and indeed removing these data (via GraphicConverter) solved it for us and Xcode now builds fine.

Answer 3

Pdf files in image assets will cause this error. I use png files for @1x @2x @3x images and Xcode works fine.

Answer 4

This error happened with me because the image name contained some unsupported characters (it was saved by Xcode as c71a25e%2FÍcone-XPTO Imagem - 120x120.png , even when placed in .xcassets).

Changing the image name solved this error for me.

Answer 5

Sometimes you should uncheck de "alpha" option to export your png images to Xcode. That solve my problem.

Open "Preview" app - File - Export - Uncheck "alpha" option, then replace your old images in Xcode project.

Answer 6

I was experiencing this issue as well, and replaced the XC Assets with plain .JPG files. Solved it for me.

However, I just installed the GM seed release of Xcode 7 and built with the XC assets catalog, and am no longer experiencing the error. So it appears to have been fixed.

Answer 7

对于 Xcode 的所有 beta 版本，您应该转到Preferences->Locations并确保命令行工具指向正确的版本，并且派生数据和存档指向稳定的 Xcode 所在的不同文件夹中

Answer 8

Had this actool error building a simple Sticker Pack in Xcode 8 Beta 6.

Seems to be a known error with animated stickers that should be fixed soon.

Answer 9

Xcode 的简单重启为我修复了错误。

Answer 10

After all the suggestions also I couldn't get rid of this issue. I was getting this issue after my OS was updated.

It worked for me when I started removing xcode caches. Specifically removing ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode.ITunesSoftwareService ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode.sourcecontrol.Git

I had to though remove and add needed simulators
