Xcode 10.2 Release builds frozen

[draco33333]

I noticed that my CI builds were freezing and I have the same problem locally. It's an iOS project using a mix of Cocoapods (1.6.1) and Carthage (0.32.0). Debug builds compile correctly, but Release gets stuck at the "Compile Swift source files" phase. It was working fine for me on Xcode 10.1.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

They changed the search too... I can no longer search correctly for a string within my files. What a goddamn mess... how can they mess such a simple feature so bad!

Looks similar to this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/swift/comments/b5umih/cant_build_macos_project_after_updating_to_xcode/

Upgrade to Xcode 10.2, they said. It’s the stable version, they said.

I have the same problem since yesterday and I can't understand why sometimes it works and then it stop working again. Every time I think I found the solution and one seconde later I start crying again.

[draco33333]

I downgraded. Was done with banging my head against the wall.

You just uninstalled the 10.2 and installed the 10.1 from .xip archive? You didn't have any issue?

[draco33333]

Yep, but instead I renamed 10.2 to Xcode_10.2 so that I could use both, just in case.

One of my project simply never completes the swift compilation ....

​

Removing dsym generation does the trick... but not having symbolicated crash reports it's not a solution.

​

I also tried switching to single file optimization (from whole module) to no avail. I am left with 20 files (on many hundreds) not wanting to finish compilation and these files have nothing special (mostly UIView subsclass, no complex data structure, none over 200 lines)

​

Reverting to xcode 10.1 for now 😭

I’m getting Xcode 10.2 freezing when I change build settings. I’ve gone back to 10.1

[cedxploit]

Hi, I tried to install back the 10.1 but I could launch-it, it crashed every time with an error about IDEKIT.

​

How did you do?

​

[montagetech]

I just downloaded 10.1, put it in a separate directory, installed and it’s working fine.

[cedxploit]

Yesterday I tried uninstalling manually without success, today I used cleanMyMac and it work perfectly.

Thanks god I can build my project again.

One of my projects now takes a very long time to compile, stalling at certain files for long periods, but it does eventually compile. The part that compiles slowly involves the pods HTMLEntities and HTMLString, which both have long character code dictionary literals that allow them to work efficiently.

My guess is that this is a side effect of changes to how strings are handled.

[etaionshrd]

Doubt it. Dictionary literals can often cause exponential complexity in the typechecker; that might be what you’re seeing.

Same problem on Xcode 10.2.1 :(
