Hi all, reposting from here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/789849/xattr-c-not-removing-com-apple-finderinfo-attribute
I was trying to build my Xcode project, but ran into the error "resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed." I was following the solutions from this stack exchange post, but xattr seems to not be working as expected.
Basically, running xattr -cr .
on my project directory successfully removes all xattrs except for com.apple.FinderInfo, which persists on all .xcodeproj and .xcworkspace files. I've tried everything under the sun, from xattr -d
to sudo
to dot_clean
to tar
to rsync
and nothing can remove it. Is this just some kind of immortal attribute? It's preventing me from building my project. I'm at a loss here, this is my senior thesis project.
No worries. Let’s just close this out with a link to your real thread.
Share and Enjoy
