Xcode 9.1 export failed

Question

Xcode 9.0.1 crash when export ipa or upload to App Store.

After upgraded to Xcode 9.1, it shows error as below when export.

Stripping extended attributes failed.
"/usr/bin/xattr -crs /var/folders/mm/h01jykrs7gv9w7jjb0yt609w0000gp/T/XcodeDistPipeline.Uay/Root/Payload/GitSmartHome.app" exited with a non-zero status. The /usr/bin/xattr tool may be damaged.

It seems xattr was damaged, and when run xattr in Terminal, it prompts below error.

xattr
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/xattr-2.7", line 7, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'xattr==0.6.4' distribution was not found and is required by the application

Pls kindly advise how to fix it or re-install xattr?

Thanks.

now xattr can execute without error, however, Xcode prompts

Pls kindly advise how to fix it, thanks.

May found the solution of it.

My situation: in the terminal and XCode it's not able to run /usr/bin/xattr. Then I found a report on stackoverflow saying wheather xattr-0.6.4 supports well OSX 10.x up. Then I tried the command:

`$defaults write com.apple.versioner.python Version 2.6`

, which persistently change the system python version to 2.6. Then the executable file will automatically select /usr/bin/xattr-2.6. Then everything works well.

You can select the python back to 2.7 every time with:

`unset VERSIONER_PYTHON_VERSION`
