Error with PIFCache during Archive Process in Xcode

[jamesryu108]

Description:

I encountered an error while trying to archive my app in Xcode for TestFlight. The error message is as follows:

error: PIFCache (/Users/[username]/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/[project-name]/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/[project-name]/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/XCBuildData/PIFCache) doesn't exist. If you manually cleared Derived Data, you need to close and re-open the project for the PIFCache to be created again. Using the "Clean Build Folder" command instead (⇧ ⌘ K) won't trigger this error. If this error still happens after re-opening the project, please file a bug report here: https://github.com/MobileNativeFoundation/rules_xcodeproj/issues/new?template=bug.md

Steps to Reproduce:

Close Xcode. Delete the Derived Data folder located in the ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ directory. Reopen the Xcode project. Clean the Build Folder using Product > Clean Build Folder. Attempt to archive the project using Product > Archive.

Expected Result: The project should archive successfully without any errors.

Actual Result: The archive process fails with the error message about the missing PIFCache.

Environment:

Xcode Version: 15.2.0 macOS Version: Sonoma 14.5

I have followed the steps to delete Derived Data and re-open the project as suggested, but the error persists. I have also tried using the "Clean Build Folder" command without success. The issue seems to prevent the necessary PIFCache from being recreated.

The archive action isn’t supported. There are more serials in the FAQ.

So how can I upload it for TestFlight build?
