Requested but did not find extension point with identifier Xcode.IDEKit.ExtensionSentinelHostApplications

Question

I think my flutter is looking for certain xcode resources at the wrong path from when I had xcode-beta.

Notice it says Xcode-beta.app here:

Unable to locate a bundle at URL file:///Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profi les/DeviceTypes/iPhone%20SE%20(3rd%20generation).simdevicetype

Where do I update this path?

        The requested device could not be found because no available devices matched the request.

        Available destinations for the "Runner" scheme:

        Ineligible destinations for the "Runner" scheme:
                { platform:iOS, id:dvtdevice-DVTiPhonePlaceholder-iphoneos:placeholder, name:Any iOS Device }

I've been through these SO answers such as these commands:

xcrun -sdk iphoneos --show-sdk-path
xcrun -sdk iphoneos --show-sdk-version
xcrun -sdk iphoneos --show-sdk-build-version
xcrun -sdk iphoneos --show-sdk-platform-path
xcrun -sdk iphoneos --show-sdk-platform-version

Added this to .zhrc

export SDKROOT=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX12.3.sdk
export SDKROOT=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS15.5.sdk
export SDKROOT=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/WatchOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/WatchOS8.5.sdk

Then ran source ~/.zshrc

Nothing has worked.

EDIT: Another app I work on is running fine, so I guess it is nothing to do with my mac setup, the issue is with my project. I am lost then. I get the same error when I create a brand new flutter app.

Bottom answer here helped. Physical iPhone is the only device working though.

This is problem from xcode when xcode select doesn't link with CommandLineTools run below command for link it

// reset to the default command line tools path
xcode-select -r

// Link xcode-select with CommandLineTools
sudo xcode-select -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

Sometimes, you need to link manual xcode-select with xcode tool by

'Xcode' -> 'Preferences' -> 'Location' -> Set 'Command Line Tools' again.

Cuz when you reset the xcode-select that will reset this part too.

If that not working. Maybe problem from the keychain is not unlock.

You need to unlock that by

security unlock-keychain

Or with password

security unlock-keychain -p <password>

Hope this way can help you, thanks.

Thank you very much! I just use `cc` from a Makefile but still have to fiddle with XCode stuff almost every here's a new version out. – thoni56 Aug 10 '22 at 18:26

After using `xcode-select` to point to the `CommandLineTools`, I get this error: `[error] xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance`. (This is using Capacitor, not Flutter, but it should be the same scenario.) – NRitH Sep 06 '22 at 17:32
@NRitH: if you are using flutter you can try 'flutter doctor' for finding and fixing the problem – tuanngocptn Sep 07 '22 at 03:05
@NRitH: If not, you can check Xcode 'Preferences' -> 'Location' -> Set 'Command Line Tools' again. Cuz when you reset the xcode-select that will reset this part too. – tuanngocptn Sep 07 '22 at 03:12

This error is just a misleading warning, do not spend time on it. Or you can do as this answer says, but then look below the error for another error that is the actual problem. I think I was trying to solve the wrong error. Maybe the most important error message was not posted in this question as it was not showing at the time:

Building for iOS Simulator, but linking in object file built for iOS, file GoogleMaps.framework/GoogleMaps for architecture arm64

I had to do as this answer says, add "arm64" to "Excluded Architectures" under Runner > Project > Build Settings > Architectures for both the Runner project and the Pods project:

And add this to the podfile:

post_install do |installer|

  installer.pods_project.build_configurations.each do |config|
    config.build_settings["EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]"] = "arm64"
  end
end

This has truly given me the most grief out of any issue in my career.

I encountered this issue after copying the pubspec.yaml file manually from one project to another. One or more assets were declared, but the resource was not in the project.

assets:
    - assets/images/logo.png
    - assets/images/user.png #this file was not in the project

Adding the resource to the specified path or removing the declaration fixes the issue.

I was running into this error for a full day while trying to build by Flutter app on a self-hosted GitHub runner.

TL;DR - Xcode 13.4+ is the issue. Downgrading to Xcode 13.3 and performing some clean installs fixes the issue.

The steps in detail:

Uninstall Xcode by finding it in the /Applications folder and selecting "Move to trash" -> Empty trash
Remove the self-hosted GitHub runner following the steps on this page
Download Xcode 13.3
Re-add the self-hosted runner
Turn off automatic App Store updates so Xcode doesn't get upgraded to 13.4

In Xcode 13 Go to General => builds phases => Bundle React Native code and images, delete every file in input files and input files lists and also in output files and output files list. as shown in the following screenshot. 
then uncheck Run script "Based on dependency analysis"[![enter image description here][1]][1]
