I think Apple has already summarized it under Swift app crashes when trying to reference Swift library libswiftCore.dylib

Cited from Technical Q&A QA1886:

Swift app crashes when trying to reference Swift library libswiftCore.dylib.

Q: What can I do about the libswiftCore.dylib loading error in my device's console that happens when I try to run my Swift language app?

A: To correct this problem, you will need to sign your app using code signing certificates with the Subject Organizational Unit (OU) set to your Team ID. All Enterprise and standard iOS developer certificates that are created after iOS 8 was released have the new Team ID field in the proper place to allow Swift language apps to run.

Usually this error appears in the device's console log with a message similar to one of the following:

[....] [deny-mmap] mapped file has no team identifier and is not a platform binary:
/private/var/mobile/Containers/Bundle/Application/5D8FB2F7-1083-4564-94B2-0CB7DC75C9D1/YourAppNameHere.app/Frameworks/libswiftCore.dylib

The new certificates are needed when building an archive and packaging your app. Even if you have one of the new certificates, just resigning an existing swift app archive won’t work. If it was built with a pre-iOS 8 certificate, you will need to build another archive.

Important: Please use caution if you need to revoke and setup up a new Enterprise Distribution certificate. If you are an in-house Enterprise developer you will need to be careful that you do not revoke a distribution certificate that was used to sign an app any one of your Enterprise employees is still using as any apps that were signed with that enterprise distribution certificate will stop working immediately. The above only applies to Enterprise Distribution certificates. Development certs are safe to revoke for enterprise/standard iOS developers.

As the AirSign guys state the problem roots from the missing OU attribute in the subject field of the In-House certificate.

Subject: UID=269J2W3P2L, CN=iPhone Distribution: Company Name, OU=269J2W3P2L, O=Company Name, C=FR

I have an enterprise development certificate, creating a new one solved the issue.

We had a unity project that creates an xcode project that includes libraries that use swift   We tried each and every reasonable suggestion on this thread   Nothing worked  Code runs fine on new devices  and crashes on iOS lt  12  It seems that swift is so smart  that even if you set it to  ALWAYS EMBED SWIFT LIBRAIES   YES  it does not include the swift libraries   What actually solved the problem for us is to include a dummy swift file in the project  The file must contain calls to dispatch  foundation libraries   Apparently this hints mighty-xcode to force include the libraries  but this time for real   Here is the dummy file we added that made it work   import Dispatch import Foundation   class ForceSwiftInclusion       init             Force dispatch library      DispatchQueue main async         print  something                 Force foundation library      let uuid   UUID   uuidString     print    uuid              For unity  also add project AddBuildProperty target   SWIFT VERSION    Swift 5    to your post processing for creating the xcode project

You have to set the Runpath Search Paths to  executable path Frameworks as showed in the following screenshot of Build Settings     If you have any embedded frameworks made in Swift  than you can set to YES the Build Options Embedded Content Contains Swift Code

I think it s a bug when certificates are generated directly from Xcode  To resolve  at least in Xcode 6 1   6A1052d     go to the Apple Developer website where certificates are managed  https   developer apple com account ios certificate certificateList action select your certificate s   which should show  Managed by Xcode  under  Status   and  Revoke  it follow instructions here to manually generate a new certificate  https   developer apple com library ios documentation IDEs Conceptual AppDistributionGuide MaintainingCertificates MaintainingCertificates html   apple ref doc uid TP40012582-CH31-SW32 go to Xcode   Preferences   Accounts    your Apple ID    double-click your team name   hit refresh button to update certificates and provisioning profiles

User · Answer

When Xcode asks you to reset certs  you reset it  And the app can be run on actual device without crash with that error messages  Once this problem is fixed in one swift project  Other swift projects with this problem are fixed also    I have struggled for these about half a day and I found that reset certs again and again in provisioning portal doesn t help

I m using Xcode 8 3 3 and Xcode 9 2   The solution for me was to switch my default Xcode from 8 to 9 using Xcode Select     xcode-select --print-path    sudo xcode-select -switch  Applications Xcode-9 2 app  Edit   Actually what seemed to help here was that Xcode 9 2 used the derived data from Xcode 8 3 3   Not a solution but at least it allows me to move forward with my work

I have multiple version of Xcode installed at the same time  The framework was built with a newer version of Xcode  The app that I tried to compile was with an older version of Xcode  When I cleaned and compiled both the framework and the app with the same version of Xcode then things worked

For me solution is here below Disable the  Embed Asset Packs in Product Bundle  and this issue will be gone

User · Answer

The above solutions did not work for me   I fix the issue by the following steps    I had to go to the phone  Settings   Profile  and delete the profiles that were in the phone including all the apps associated with those profile provisions   After that  make sure that you download the apple provisions in xcode  Go to  xcode settings   account and sign in into your apple developer account

I ran into this issue while I was trying to run unit-tests on a private pod    I did everything everyone suggested  Nothing worked    All I had to do was to run my unit-tests on a different simulator     I didn t try resetting the contents and settings of my simulator  maybe that would have worked as well

User · Answer

For me none of the previous solutions worked  We discovered that there is an  Always Embed Swift Standard Libraries  flag in the Build Settings that needs to be set to YES  It was NO by default   Build Settings  gt  Always Embed Swift Standard Libraries  After setting this  clean the project before building again   For keen readers some explanation The most important part is      set the Embedded Content Contains Swift Code  EMBEDDED CONTENT CONTAINS SWIFT  build setting to YES in your app as shown in Figure 2  This build setting  which specifies whether a target s product has embedded content with Swift code  tells Xcode to embed Swift standard libraries in your app when set to YES      The flag was formerly called Embedded Content Contains Swift Code

This error message can also be caused when upgrading Xcode  and subsequently to a new version of Swift  and your project uses a framework built compiled with an older previous version of Swift   In this case rebuilding the framework and re-adding it will fix the problem

After having tried out everything  I finally found out  that the build seems not always include every detail again and again  Maybe for speeding up the process    In order to ensure WHOLE packaging before running on a device  make a Clean first  Shift-Cmd-K  Then build with  Cmd-B  After that run it on your device  Easy  Kind regards to all you nice guys in that place

To add on to the Enterprise distribution cert solution  you can open Keychain and inspect the cert   If there is any red text saying the trust chain can t be verified or it being revoked  it WILL NOT WORK   On my computer  our distribution cert was showing as revoked even though the web portal showed it as still valid   We got a new distribution cert  which was green  valid  in Keychain  and this solved the issue

For me building a MacOS command line Swift app that depended on 3rd party Swift libs  e g  SQLite  none of the above solutions seemed to work  What did work was directly adding the following path to my Runpath Search Paths in the Build Settings    Applications Xcode app Contents  Developer Toolchains XcodeDefault xctoolchain usr lib swift macosx   Doing that did give a warning at runtime saying that Xcode had found 2 versions of libswiftCore - which makes sense  Except that not including that line resulted in Xcode not finding any versions of libswiftCore   Anyway  that ll do for me even if it doesn t seem right - my app is just a utility that I m not intending to distribute and at least it runs now
