The xcodebuild archive does nothing in one folder, but works fine in another

Question

This is really strange, I executed the following command in the folder created by my automatic build, and it gets stuck after the SDK settings and just sits there, as if expecting more input. but the same command works fine in another folder that I created manually.

username$ xcodebuild -target RapidApps -archivePath ~/Documents/RapidApps.xcarchive -sdk iphoneos8.1 -scheme "RapidApps" -configuration "Release" archive User defaults from command line: IDEArchivePathOverride = /Users/username/Documents/RapidApps.xcarchive Build settings from command line: SDKROOT = iphoneos8.1 

all that I can do to find out what the team is doing and why it is not going on?

Answer 1

just ran into the same problem and found a solution here

TL DR The circuit you are trying to use must be split. Else xcodebuild will try to create all possible circuitry and timeout.
