Execution failed for task ':moeUpdateXcodeSettings'

When I try to update my Xcode project settings by running the following command in my project’s ios directory ../gradlew moeUpdateXcodeSettings -Pmoe.forced.update --stacktrace I get the error shown below.

The answers in this forum post did not work for me. I still get the same error.

Using already downloaded SDK: /Users/welshamy/.moe/moe-sdk-1.4.0

Dear @welshamy,

try this gradle configuration:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        mavenLocal()
    }
    dependencies {
        // Multi-OS Engine plugin
        classpath group: 'org.multi-os-engine', name: 'moe-gradle', version: '1.4.+'
    }
}

// Apply plugins
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'moe'

// Set source and target to Java 8
sourceCompatibility = "1.8"
targetCompatibility = "1.8"

// Set maven repository
repositories {
    jcenter()
}

// Exclude all files from Gradle's test runner
test { exclude '**' }

// Setup Multi-OS Engine
moe {
    xcode {
        project 'xcode/ProjectName.xcodeproj'
        mainTarget 'ProjectName'
        testTarget 'ProjectName-Test'

        // Uncomment and change these settings if you are working with a Xcode workspace
        workspace 'xcode/ProjectName.xcworkspace'
        mainScheme 'ProjectName'
        testScheme 'ProjectName-Test'
    }
}

dependencies {
    // Compile with 'jar' files in the project's 'lib' directory
    compile fileTree(include: '*.jar', dir: 'lib')
}

// Setup Eclipse
eclipse {
    // Set Multi-OS Engine nature
    project {
        natures 'org.multi-os-engine.project'
    }
}

Hi!

Thanks for the report, we will take a look.

Best Regards,
