Build System: Xcode build database lock preventing compilation

[Aussie-Nomad]

Problem

Xcode was experiencing build database lock errors that prevented successful compilation, even when command-line builds were working.

Impact

• Developers cannot build in Xcode IDE
• Blocks development workflow
• Inconsistent build behavior between CLI and IDE

Root Cause

• Lingering xcodebuild processes
• Corrupted DerivedData cache
• Xcode build system conflicts

Solution Implemented

• Killed running xcodebuild processes: killall -9 xcodebuild
• Cleared DerivedData: rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
• Performed clean build: xcodebuild clean -project DesktopApp/MacForge.xcodeproj -scheme MacForge

Prevention

• Regular cleanup of DerivedData
• Proper process management
• Consistent build environment

Files Affected

• Xcode DerivedData folder
• Build system configuration

Status

Resolved - Build system now working correctly in both CLI and Xcode.
