Hi @francobostico! Can you initially please confirm to us that there were no relevant source code changes?
If rebuilding old builds that used to succeed fail now, that would likely indicate the problem being in the code. We will request you to do a [completely clean build locall](https://blog.bitrise.io/how-to-debug-your-build-locally)y and send us the outputs of that in case it succeeds.

Hey @bitce, thanks for your reply. Yes i can confirm there are no code changes between the last working build and current builds. I have have a master branch that was succeeding, then I started to see this error on the develop branch with the new changes, but couldn’t find a relation with the code changes to this issue. So I tested again with the master branch (without the new changes) and was also failing with the same error. That led me to believe there might be some environmental issue.
Here is a link to the working local build logs in a txt file, to avoid pasting the complete logs here.
