Hello, everyone 👋. I’ve just created a new KMM project, but when tried to open it on XCode it shows the following error:

The operation could''t be completed. Unable to locate a Java Runtime.
Please visit <http://www.java.com> for information on installing Java.

Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code

From Android Studio I even can run it on an iOS emulator, but I can’t get preview or run it from xcode.
Anyone to help me on that 😄 ?

oh, just some details:
• I use sdkman to manage my sdks (including JDK) and I installed through it
• if I type: javac -version it shows the correct version that I’ve installed, but if I type: /usr/libexec/java_home -V it shows

The operation couldn't be completed. Unable to locate a Java Runtime.

Which is the same message that appears on xcode logs.

Do you think it has something to do with JDK/JRE path?

[Adam S]

in a terminal, does echo $JAVA_HOME return anything? I don't use XCode, but my guess is that it JAVA_HOME isn't set, or XCode has some other way of setting it

I don't have anything in JAVA_HOME but my java executable is in /usr/bin.
Can you type
which java
and see if the path is what you expect?
Are you certain you have a JDK installed and not a JRE?

[henrikhorbovyi]

echo $JAVA_HOME returns:
/Users/henriquehorbovyi/.sdkman/candidates/java/current

[henrikhorbovyi]

which java also returns
/Users/henriquehorbovyi/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/bin/java

[James Black]

You may need to set java home then to point to it, and as I haven't used sdkman you can look at the comments here.

Well, I found out a solution

The problem:
• xcode was expecting that this program /usr/libexec/java_home (which is the default for the OS) would return the path of my installed java
• But I have installed java via sdkman and java_home can only identify a java path if it would come from a macOS normal installation (if I had downloaded a jdk.dmg for example)
How I solved:
• I solved the problem by adding a custom path called JAVA_HOME inside xcode locations preferences
