Cordova XCode Build iOS throw clang: error: unable to execute command: Segmentation fault: 11

Question

I have developed a mobile application using Apache Cordova. Now I need to build the iOS platform but I get the following error:

clang: error: unable to execute command: Segmentation fault: 11 clang: error: clang frontend command failed due to signal (use -v to see invocation) Apple LLVM version 7.3.0 (clang-703.0.31) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin15.5.0 Thread model: posix InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin clang: note: diagnostic msg: PLEASE submit a bug report to http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/ and include the crash backtrace, preprocessed source, and associated run script. clang: error: unable to execute command: Segmentation fault: 11 clang: note: diagnostic msg: Error generating preprocessed source(s).

I have read more about this error on Stack Overflow but none of them solved my problem. I have done these steps too:

• Upgrade xCode to 7.3.1
• Disable BitCode
• Specify the Deployment Target
• Clean and Build the project
• Remove and add plugins
• Remove and add iOS platform
• Remove DerivedData
• Close xCode, load another project and build it, then load this project but failed to build!

I am able to build and run OSX, Android and Browser version of my application without any problem!

Answer 1

I have solved it finally.

I was serving my Cordova app via Shared Folder in VM to Mac OS. I have just moved my Cordova app to Mac instead of serving in Shared Folder. Then remove the iOS platform and re-add it.

Now my app builds successfully in xCode.

Also I found some very helpful information in the following link that might be helpful in case none of the above mentioned methods solve the problem: http://stack2.ocim.top/10592601/apple-llvm-compiler-3-1-error-ios-5-xcode-4-3.html
