My app target is building and running successfully on a device but I am facing this error while running the unit test target for my app. It specifically occurs during the copying face.

Have you tried cleaning the DerivedData folder? - fiks
Yeah I have tried that multiple times. Also tried to change the framework and header search paths but nothing seems to work. - Nikant
Look like build dependency cycle. I had reproduce log like yours when added AppName.app into Copy bundle resources section of test target. - Roman Ermolov

Roman's Answer is what did it for me. I had a circular dependency where appname.app was in my copy resources. I don't fully understand why removing that fixed the issue, but I figured I'd post here.

I think that your storyboard size is too large try breaking your storyboard file into multiple storyboards using storyboard references

watch this tutorial for storyboard reference :

Hope this be the right answer and helps you
