 ### Fixed
 
 - Adding group set incorrect parent in case of complex path [#614](https://github.com/tuist/XcodeProj/pull/614) by [@avdyushin](https://github.com/avdyushin)
+- **Breaking** Fixed issue where some schemes could not be deserialized because a buildable reference did not contain a blueprint identifier [#612](https://github.com/tuist/XcodeProj/pull/612) by [@daltonclaybrook](https://github.com/daltonclaybrook)
 - Added the `com.apple.product-type.driver-extension` and `com.apple.product-type.system-extension` PBXProductType [#618](https://github.com/tuist/XcodeProj/pull/618) by [@vgorloff](https://github.com/vgorloff).
