Xcode – DVTDeviceOperation: Encountered a build number that is incompatible with DVTBuildVersion

I created a small Swift app using Xcode 15.4 on macOS 14.6.1 (I have since updated to Xcode 16 + macOS 15.0, no change to the behavior). The code is pretty boilerplate, just a simple screencapture app using ScreenCaptureKit. The app builds and runs successfully with no errors. The app’s name is kitkap.

My question is, when compiling in Terminal with

xcodebuild -target kitkap -configuration Release

…I get the following "error" output:

DVTDeviceOperation: Encountered a build number "" that is incompatible with DVTBuildVersion.

Googling revealed practically nothing about this mysterious error. Does anyone know what it means or how to supply the proper "DVTBuildVersion"?

Here are some screenshots that might be illustrative:

    FYI, I struggled with this issue for a few hours, but somehow I fixed it. I followed the instructions from this post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/78681786/1424762 and that just somehow magically cleared up my problem.

    Don’t know how Allowing Non-modular Includes in Framework Modules clear this problem up, but there’s a lot of other things I don’t underestand. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Hope this is helpful to others, too.

    In my case, I was building a C++ library using CMake for the Xcode generator. While the error I got in the console was about DVTBuildVersion, it was actually a compile error in the library when I opened the underlying generated Xcode project and built it.

    In this case, a Xcode was being strict about an implicit cast.

    Resolving that error removed the issue about DVTBuildVersion.
