Xcode 10 is giving this error immediately when trying to build our project. It's not immediately clear what is causing it.

How can I resolve it?

For XCode 10 Beta: Problem occurs when I have two workspaces open that share the same project directories. Solution was

Short version

  1. Shut down all but one workspaces
  2. exit XCode and reopen XCode
  3. XCode > Product > Clean Build Folder

Longer version

  1. Shut down all but one workspace
  2. XCode > Preferences > Locations > Derived Data > goto directory ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
  3. Clear out subdirectories from DerivedData
  4. exit XCode and reopen XCode
  5. XCode > Product > Clean Build Folder

Thanks to @aferriss answer for the clue.
