I'm trying to link my iPhone simulator project and I'm getting the following error at link time:

(null): error: cannot parse the debug map for "/Users/admin/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/TrainTracks-agvvryrtufplkxecblncwedcelck/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/TrainTracks.app/TrainTracks": Is a directory

Here's the linker output:

GenerateDSYMFile /Users/admin/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/TrainTracks-agvvryrtufplkxecblncwedcelck/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/TrainTracks.app.dSYM /Users/admin/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/TrainTracks-agvvryrtufplkxecblncwedcelck/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/TrainTracks.app/TrainTracks cd /Work/TrainTracks/TrainTracks export PATH="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin" /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/dsymutil /Users/admin/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/TrainTracks-agvvryrtufplkxecblncwedcelck/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/TrainTracks.app/TrainTracks -o /Users/admin/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/TrainTracks-agvvryrtufplkxecblncwedcelck/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/TrainTracks.app.dSYM error: cannot parse the debug map for "/Users/admin/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/TrainTracks-agvvryrtufplkxecblncwedcelck/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/TrainTracks.app/TrainTracks": Is a directory

What would cause this problem?

I started off with a Game template (Xcode 7.2.1) and deleted the main story board and AppDelegate.* files since this is an SDL cross-platform project.

This problem was caused by a second inclusion of a TrainTracks folder in my project. I already had a yellow TrainTracks group with all of my source but for some reason Xcode was also showing a blue TrackTracks folder as well. This has a duplicate info.plist and other files. I removed the blue folder reference and the project now builds successfully.
