You cannot really make a new build file (Just adding a new file to a build phase is not supported in UI also. You can only drag the files that are present in the project or other projects into a build phase). Build files are files that are added to a build phase to achieve certain things. These files are ideally present in the project itself and they should belong to a target.

So, in order to add a file as a build file to a build phase of a target you need to first add the file to the project, then add it to the build phase.

The internal error part is a known issue. It is a cocoa scripting issue and not coming from Xcode.

Well, I realized that I was trying to add a file reference to a Copy Files Phase instance, which doesn't have a file reference collection. Instead, it has a build files collection.

So I modified the code as follows:

   set aBuildFile to make new build file with properties {build phase:aCopy, compiled code size:0, name:aName, file reference:aFile, target:aTarget, comments:"", project:aProject}
add build file aBuildFile to aCopy

Note, these are header files I'm adding to the copy phase. However, now I get internal errors in Xcode during the call to "make new build file":

   File: /SourceCache/DevToolsBase/DevToolsBase-620.0.81/pbxcore/PBXContainerItem.m
   Line: 75
   Object: <PBXBuildFile:0x06d401d0>
   Method: setProject:

   project should be an instance inheriting from PBXProject, but it is <NSNameSpecifier:0x08a1d1e0>
