XCode 16.2 - error: unable to open dependencies file

Hello,

I am encountering "unable to open dependencies file" error in XCode that started after updating to Xcode version 16.2 and macOS version 15.2. The error message I receive is as follows:

error: unable to open dependencies file (/Users/user/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyProject-cwpcmnebzjpgkzcuoauxlaeiqrsg/Build/Intermediates.noindex/MyProject.build/Debug-iphoneos/MyProject.build/Objects-normal/arm64/MyProject-master.d) (in target 'MyProject' from project 'MyProject')

This problem didn’t occur with XCode 16.1; the project was building successfully before the update. Now, even reverting to XCode 16.1 doesn’t resolve the issue anymore.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far without success:

  1. Switched the compilation mode to “Whole Module”
  2. Cleaned the build folder
  3. Cleared Derived Data

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
