Random missing Xcode targets

MacOSX and iOS
1

Hi,

When both Standalone and AUv3 are configured as plugin formats for an iOS app, we find that one of the targets (either Standalone or AUv3) is missing from the generated Xcode (26.2) project. This occurs randomly, once every few attempts, and causes both local builds as well as our CI pipeline to fail randomly.

We have a CMake based setup, but we experienced the same issue a while ago with a Projucer project. Our workaround is to re-run the CMake export a few times until both targets appear.

I hope to see this fixed. I’m not sure whether this is a JUCE or Xcode bug.

It happens with JUCE 8.0.12 and Xcode 26.2, but used to happen in older versions of both.

Best,

Jelle

This has been going on for a while. I think it’s an Xcode bug because reopening the project (without re-generating it) will also fix the issue (although you may need to reopen it several times, it’s super annoying).

In CI we don’t open the project, we just call xcodebuild.
