When I try to create a Mac OS version of my iPad app I am getting the errors:

"Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code"

and

"Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed"

I tried executing the terminal command xattr -cr on the product file inside the "Debug-maccatalyst" folder which is where the error line indicates that the bad data lies. This does not fix the problem.

Also, I do not experience the error when running the app on any version of the iPad.

I'm running Catalina Beta 4 and Xcode 11 beta 4.

Any insights or helpful suggestions would be most appreciated.

I've got the same problem happening when trying to recompile an iOS app for Mac using Catalyst.

I'm running Xcode 11.1 under 10.15 beta 9 (19A573a)

I've got this problem too. I realised that .app is created on DerivedData, I can open the Mac app, but Xcode can't finish building and I can't debug.

It works! I could discover where was the problem (a custom plist file name) and fix. Thank you!
