Xcode can't build a project

Hello,

project works fine in Xcode 12.5.1, but when I open it in 13.1 to test, I get error when hitting build. First it was an error with "unknownSession", but after cleaning, I now have a crash:

Prepare build note: Using new build system note: Planning unexpected service error: The Xcode build system has crashed. Build again to continue.error: unexpected service error: The Xcode build system has crashed. Build again to continue.

I found crash reports related to this:

Which version of Xcode ? Seems it is a beta.

The most recent (13.1 RC) is Version 13.1 (13A1030d)

Did you try:

  • to do a Clean Build Folder
  • to check, in the Issues Navigator on the left panel whether you have warnings to perform update ? If so, do it.

The version is 13.1 (13A1030d) on Big Sur 11.6. I just made a new project. Console app with Objective-C. It still fails, so it's not my project:

Showing All Messages

Prepare build note: Using new build system note: Planning unexpected service error: The Xcode build system has crashed. Build again to continue.error: unexpected service error: The Xcode build system has crashed. Build again to continue.

Build failed 26.10.21, 09:55 0.5 seconds

I also cleared all temp folders. XCBBuildService crashes with failed assertion:

XCBCore/Settings.swift:315: Fatal error: Couldn't load file type spec file.rcproject in domain macosx

What could this be?

I unzipped the Xcode again today and now it works. Seems like the last version was not uncompressed correctly.

And comparing both shows a size difference: 34676192 vs 34759632. It would really be better to distribute Xcode with a dmg instead of a zip archive.
