Xcode, Pods ProjectName.debug.xcconfig unable to open file. Wrong directory

Question

When I build project, I see build error: ProjectName.debug.xcconfig unable to open file. I couldn't understand my problem for a long time, but today I take attention, what directory is wrong: full error: projectName/Pods/Pods...ProjectName.debug.xcconfig unable to open file Where Pods part duplicated, so correct directory must be as projectName/Pods...ProjectName.debug.xcconfig How to fix it?

This absolutely solved my issue https://stackoverflow.com/a/65129409/2276920 — sahiljain, Dec 03 '20 at 15:55

Xcode 10.1 After trying other suggestions found here #8091 (comment) and at Incorrect path for Pods.debug.xcconfig in Xcode? I found that Kaspik's suggestion worked:

pod deintegrate
pod install

edit the .xcodeproj/project.pbxproj file and change the PBXGroup "path = Pods" to "name = Pods" source https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/8091

updated from: pod reintegrate to: pod deintegrate

The problem I had was actually the "path = Pods" in my .pbxproj file, thanks! – Luís Mestre Sep 27 '19 at 11:23

Don't forget to change the "paths" to "name". That's the key! – Roney Sampaio Oct 31 '19 at 22:09
This solution worked for me. Changed the "paths" to "name" and then do the pod deintegrate, pod install. – ciara staggs Nov 16 '19 at 15:35
..and cleaning your build folder never hurts :) – DeepBlue Mar 19 '20 at 14:26
Reinstall pod worked for me, didn't need to rename "path = Pod" – Cvincent Feb 03 '21 at 09:39
The above did work for me although other team members did not see this same error when checked out the same commit. The final solution for me was to wipe my local repo and re-clone. – Kai Mar 10 '22 at 20:27
The `deintegrate` & `install` worked for me, but first I needed to move to the project directory with `cd ios/App/` then execute the commands. – hhsm95 Dec 13 '22 at 13:57

Do the following

Delete .xcworkspace file
Go to project build phases - delete Check Pods Manifest.lock and Embed Pods Framework section
Remove Pods folder from the left project navigator
Remove Pods folder from the project directory
Delete everything related to pods except Podfile
Do Pod install

This should resolve the problem.

Run pod repo update first and then you should be able to install pods with yarn install:pods if you're using yarn.

I ran into this issue in CI. Simply running xcodebuild clean fixed it for me. In Xcode that'd be equivalent to cmd + shift + k.

I was getting the same issue, I checked my npm modules was corrupted so I deleted npm modules

And npm install ==> cd iOS ==> pod install.
