XCode 9.2 can't open project after update 7b87f643f

XCode 9.2 can't open project after update 7b87f64
Project xxx.xcodeproj cannot be opened because the project file cannot be parsed.

Thanks @dimitre
Thats strange that it doesn't open the project for you. From other reports it works with Xcode 9.4.1 it just doesn't read the keys correctly on 10.14.

will look into this though and see if there is a fix that works for all versions.

[ofTheo]

Hmm. I just realized I am on Xcode 9.2 ( and 10.13 ) and I can open and build projects fine.
Are you on 10.14?

Can you try this RC build and see if the examples work for you on Xcode 9.2?

Hello @ofTheo thanks for the attention on this issue.
I'm in OS X 10.12 (I know, abandonware :)) and XCode 9.2

I've downloaded the patch release and project opens here without issues.

Unrelated to the issue:
in this project generator even after I set the openframeworks path in PG settings, it tries to create in your path /Users/theo/Downloads/...

Thank you

[ofTheo]

oops! thanks @dimitre - I think I know what I did there.
I'll re-upload the zip.

Thanks!!
Theo

Hey @ofTheo I've just noticed the issue is more specific to projects containing ofxSyphon.
https://github.com/astellato/ofxSyphon
I've just tried again with your RC3 and the issue appears there too (when using ofxSyphon)
Thank you

Hi @dimitre
I see it too here. I think it is something to do with the new Xcode project structure and the pbxproj file and the syphon addon. The pbxproj file looks valid to me, but I get the same error.

Will try and dig into it here.

Thanks for reporting this!
Let me know if you see the issue with any other addons.

[dimitre]

I'm investigating all addons here (listed with ls -1) and already found some other problematic ones

ofxAVFVideoPlayer
ofxAudioAnalyzer
ofxAudioUnit
ofxMidi

I'll edit this same message with other ones later

[ofTheo]

I think I see the issue.

Doing a diff between an example with no addons and ofxSyphon I see a its inserting a new tag before the closing tag instead of after it for FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS.

Going to try and track this down. It could be in the Project Generator code thats changed since 0.10.0 or in the xcode template file we're using.

Thanks for your help!

[ofTheo]

Okay I have a PR for the issue.
It was several things that got changed when we removed the OF sub project from the Xcode template.

The array tags got removed and also the key the PG used to search for the link frameworks section was removed.

Here is the PR. #6174
Will also merge with master if it works.

@dimitre if you want to check it out. Grab this file: https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/blob/99b80ad9c77f9d1d4426cb96d504f9aaf6dc8c95/scripts/templates/osx/emptyExample.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj

And update it in your local copy then run the Project Generator.
The Syphon and other projects should open now.

Thanks again for reporting this!
It was a big bug that none of the CI Tests or my own tests picked up :)

[dimitre]

I've just tested with this project file and it works!
Thanks for all the effort

A tiny suggestion: it would be great to have inside the XCode project the openFrameworks folder closed by default. The addons one opened by default is great!

[ofTheo]

Thanks @dimitre - will take a look!
Mostly want to get it working first, but if its easy to do I agree that would be better!
