Xcode cannot open project

by Zilla · in iTorque 2D · 08/20/2009 (5:02 am) · 7 replies

Project /Users/zilla/Desktop/iTGB_1_2/engine/compilers/Xcode_iPhone/Torque2D.xcodeproj cannot be opened because the project file cannot be parsed.

What happened here?

Yeah, what happened here? Did you put the project into version control? Xcode project files don't play nicely with that, and you must quit Xcode before checking in and out files.

If you haven't done that, check your system with Onyx or something. If you really haven't done anything to the file outside Xcode, Radar is your next stop. Attach the zipped project folder for reference. If Xcode eats project files, the Xcode team wants to fix it.

When I delete the iTGB folder and copy the original from my downloads, it works again until I compile a project once in Xcode.

Looks like an Xcode bug (but could be a user account problem or a number of other things unforeseen). Try the Apple forums (iPhone official forums), then a bug report.

I ran into this exact same issue. If my Project Name had a space in it, Xcode refused to read the project file. Once I removed the space, all was well again.

Tanks Lin

I ran into the same problem. Your answer helped a lot.

I just noticed this thread - I can confirm I had hit the same issue a week ago. Cost me several hours to figure it out - the same problem with a space. Really iTGB should prevent compilation and provide a popup warning if the user-entered Product Name in the Project Builder has a space in it if it cannot generate the XCode project data properly, or at the very least remove the spaces. I consider it a defect.
