I am using Xcode 13.2 and the Preview of ContentView does not work. I have macOS Monterey with Intel processor. I get the following error. Would appreciate any suggestion.

unable to execute command: Executable "ld" doesn't exist!

LinkDylibError: Failed to build ContentView.swift



Linking failed: unable to execute command: Executable "ld" doesn't exist!



clang-10: error: unable to execute command: Executable "ld" doesn't exist!

clang-10: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I suggest you post your "ContentView" code, then it may be possible to say why it doesn't preview.

I am just using the default code. I have not added any code yet. Problem is probably related to some settings. Please let me know if you need any thing else.

import SwiftUI



struct ContentView: View {

    var body: some View {

        Text("Hello, world!")

            .padding()

    }

}



struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {

    static var previews: some View {

        ContentView()

    }

}

Hi,

Sorry to hear you are having problems getting previews working.

Based upon your description of the situation I am guessing that your xcode installation might be faulty. Would it be possible to attempt to download a new version from https://developer.apple.com/xcode/resources/ ?

SOLVED!

In my case, I was using another Toolchain(that I installed to test another Swift SDK, that doesn't matter now), and all I needed to do is setting the Xcode to use the default Toolchain again:

With the Xcode open, on the MenuBar(top of you screen) click on [Xcode]
Click on [Toolchain]
Click on [Manage Toolchain]
Click/Select your Xcode's version. E.G.: In you case: "Xcode 13.2"

[Extra step] I suggest you to uninstall another Toolchain that is not the default after using it, since Xcode can give some errors difficult to detect/understand, and you can do this by doing a ["Right click of your mouse" on those Toolchains ] -> [Move to Trash]
