Need Help No such file or directory.....il2cpp.a File (Command Ld failed with a nonzero exit code) ios, Xcode

I have been struggling with an error for several days:

clang++: error: no such file or directory: ‘/Users/apple/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Unity-iPhone-eapfskczvszxtlcrklqkxwdvgntq/Build/Products/ReleaseForRunning-iphoneos/il2cpp.a’
Command Ld failed with a nonzero exit code

I created a build of my project (including all plugins) and tested it on an iOS phone as a development build. It worked fine on the device. After creating a build for release, I started encountering this error.

  • Suspecting plugin issues, I removed all plugins but the error persisted.
  • Created a new, empty Unity project and attempted to build it with Xcode. Surprisingly, the same error occurred.
    I have exhausted my troubleshooting options and need help resolving this error. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    I am using Unity 6.000.0.33f1
    Never experienced this before in previous versions.
