Reproducibility

  • Does a “Rebuild” help? (You can trigger a rebuild from the Build’s page, by clicking the “Rebuild” button in the top right corner of a finished build) : NO
  • Does a rebuild without caches help? (You can remove the Cache:Pull and Cache:Push steps temporarily to not to use the cache, or you can delete all the caches on the Settings tab of the app. : NO
  • Does the issue happen sporadically, or every time? : All the time
  • Does upgrading the build Step to the latest version help? : NO
  • When did the issue start? : Update stack from Xcode 13.2.x on macOS 11.6 (Big Sur) to Xcode 13.3.x on macOS 12.2 (Monterey)

Local reproduction

Can it be reproduced on your own Mac/PC by following our local debug guide? 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 will get when it does a git clone in the clean environment! If possible please note which sections you tried.

Local reproduction: Linux / Android (docker based) stack builds

Can it be reproduced by running the build locally, after doing a new git clone of the repository into the /tmp directory and running the build from there with the Bitrise CLI ( Bitrise CLI )? If no, can it be reproduced with Docker (using the same docker images / environment we use on bitrise.io)? Related guide: http://devcenter.bitrise.io/docker/run-your-build-locally-in-docker/ .

I’m getting the same issue as well with adhoc builds (appstore configuration works).

Same here.
Same search paths except from the Xcode filename.
Looking at the search path /Applications/Xcode-13.3.0-Release.Candidate.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS15.4.sdk/usr/lib I find libswiftCore.tbd inside the swift directory. I’m unsure if search paths are recursive.

We have the same Problem. Is there any workaround. @amnell your right. Xcode is not looking in the path …/lib/swift for *.tbd files

Seems like Xcode 13.3 issue

We need the xcode update 13.3.1:

Yes, when can expect 13.3.1 to be made available?
