## Description of the issue

I’m migrating from an Xcode 12.5.X macOS 11.4 (Big Sur) stack to Android&Docker 20.4 one and I’m getting the following error:

```auto

}

```

## Environment:

Android&Docker 20.4  
Script step 1.1.6

### Local reproduction

_Can it be reproduced on your own Mac/PC by following our [local debug guide](http://discuss.bitrise.io/t/how-to-debug-your-build-locally-it-works-on-my-mac-pc-but-not-on-bitrise-io/392)? Please follow at least the first section (“Testing with a full clean git clone”) to make sure to test the state of the code what [bitrise.io](http://bitrise.io) will get when it does a git clone in the clean environment! If possible please note which sections you tried._
