Xcode 7.1.1 - fatal error : lipo: can't open input file

Question

I'm getting fatal error: lipo: can't open input file: /Users/.../libABC.a (No such file or directory)

I've cross-checked this file exists in same location after checking with 'Show in Finder'

I'm getting this error while building library. I've tried below solutions but didn't worked:

1. Build Active architecture only - YES/NO
2. Enable BitCode - YES/NO
3. Clean / Clean Build Folder, Quit simulator.

Any other fix?

What does ' ls -l libABC* ' say? Have you tried a clean and then build? — kometen, Jan 11 '16 at 13:20
The ls-command will show you if the file has the correct permissions so an unprivileged user can read it. And is located where you expect to find it. — kometen, Jan 11 '16 at 13:47
I'm also facing the same issue.Did you find any solution to fix this? Please help — Meenakshi, Jul 01 '16 at 18:33

Xcode-Build phases

check the scripts wheacher contain codes or not look like this to Removex86_64Andi386Framework:

APP_PATH="${TARGET_BUILD_DIR}/${WRAPPER_NAME}"

# This script loops through the frameworks embedded in the application and
# removes unused architectures.
find "$APP_PATH" -name '*.framework' -type d | while read -r FRAMEWORK
do
FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_NAME=$(defaults read "$FRAMEWORK/Info.plist" CFBundleExecutable)
FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH="$FRAMEWORK/$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_NAME"
echo "Executable is $FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH"

EXTRACTED_ARCHS=()

for ARCH in $ARCHS
do
echo "Extracting $ARCH from $FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_NAME"
lipo -extract "$ARCH" "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH" -o "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH-$ARCH"
EXTRACTED_ARCHS+=("$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH-$ARCH")
done

echo "Merging extracted architectures: ${ARCHS}"
lipo -o "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH-merged" -create "${EXTRACTED_ARCHS[@]}"
rm "${EXTRACTED_ARCHS[@]}"

echo "Replacing original executable with thinned version"
rm "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH"
mv "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH-merged" "$FRAMEWORK_EXECUTABLE_PATH"

done

delete the shell script and clean the project then run again.
