Xcode 13.2 - Internal error : Miss… | Apple Developer Forums

Developer Forums

Hi guys, just updated Xcode to 13.2 via Mac App Store.

I installed the additional components, and my project won't compile anymore : Xcode just tells me "Internal error: missingPackageDescriptionModule - Resolving Package Graph Failed" when attempting to build. None of the Swift packages used within my app seems to build, because "Package resolution errors must be fixed before building".

Already attempted to clean derived data, reset Swift package caches and update package versions to no avail.

Guess I'll try re-installing Xcode but... does anyone else have the same issue ?

Using an M1 Mac and just updated to Monterey 12.1 if that's relevant.

Thank you !

Same issue here. Same Xcode and OS versions, on M1. I tried removing and re-adding the package, but that didn't fix it.

:( Same issue. Even tried creating a brand new Swift Package (blank w/one test) and still seeing the issue, so it doesn't seem project specific...

Xcode 13.2.1, released today, addresses this issue:

Resolved an issue where the Mac App Store version of Xcode failed during package resolution with the error Internal error: missingPackageDescriptionModulewhen using Swift packages either standalone or as dependencies in an Xcode project or workspace. (86435800) (FB9807887)

This update is available through the Mac App Store, as well as a direct download on the Apple Developer website.

If they have fixed it, why isn't it available as an update via the usual Software Update in System Preferences?

I needed to click UPDATE on the Xcode 13 page in the App Store. Maybe this was because the server was very busy at that time. Anyway, 13.2.1 is working now.

Now the app store update is stuck in going from 13.2 to 13.2.1, looks like I have to delete the previous store version.

xcode 13 beta 1: wow this stuff is buggy! Hope they will fix it till the release time.

xcode 13 release: damn this thing is just as buggy! How on earth this could have happen?

xcode 13.1: hope this time they fixed autocompletion and syntax highlight, at least. NOPE

xcode 13.2: spm is totally broken with hundreds of sounds of working hours and terabytes of traffic wasted across the globe.

Hey Apple, could you please make a survey not only regarding "customer satisfaction" but also "developer satisfaction"? Cause mine is close to 0%, and I am not the only one. Hope the results will be shared on wwdc2022 keynote.

What update?

It was an automatic update about 5h ago. I do love watching this thread and refreshing as the minutes of each post tick up, whilst waiting for my Xcode_13.2.xip to expand... A good 3h enjoyed thinking I had messed up my xcscheme, which I usually don't touch but had just before the update.

Same here. My SPM-based projects are currently unusable with Xcode 13.2. Keeping fingers crossed for a quick fix. 🤞 In the meantime, I guess my only option is to revert back to Xcode 13.1. 😞

Same problem! Had to revert back to the prior Xcode version! This is really bad!

Works! Download xCode from https://developer.apple.com/download/release/ Run for install. Product -> Clean Build Folder. File - > Packages -> (Click all submenus). Build.

I have not uninstalled the current version of xCode 13.2 installed from the App Store.

PS: But the new installation ended up in the Downloads folder. Thus, I ended up with two xCode

Thank you. Even after switching from the MAS version of XCode 13.2 to the direct download, I still had the issue. Following your steps to use 'Product > Clean Build Folder' and run all tasks under 'File > Packages', the issue is resolved.

Hi,

Is there any ETA when the fix will be available on the App Store? Xcode from Releases section works fine, but I'd rather not keep two separate versions.

There's no ETA.

@Jason why don't you take it off the App Store until its working? Or does TODAY + ETA? + Fixed = NEVER ?

for me the only solution was to go back to Xcode 13.1

My update to 13.2 happened this morning via accepting prompt to update Xcode tools. The day prior my app compiled. Today get missing package error. Clearing package caches didn't work. In the end, the Apple solution below worked. I downloaded 13.2 from the developer site. After decompressing the monster (32GB) I moved the Xcode App from Downloads to Applications selecting the option to REPLACE what was there. On first build I got a different package error but also noticed a warning to update project settings. In for a penny, in for a pound, I went ahead and let Xcode update the project settings. Then I tried again. This time the app built successfully. So in my case it was a combination of a complete replacement of Xcode 13.2 and updating my project settings as recommended by Xcode.

*** is going on at Apple? This has been an issue for more than 24 hours yet auto-update (which I had turned off, so please stop turning it back on) installed this very obviously and entirely broken version of Xcode just a short two hours ago. APPLE, DELIST THE BROKEN VERSION AND STOP WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME. It doesn't help Apple's terrible servers can't serve downloads at higher than 5 MB/s when I'm on gigabit internet. You'd think the most valuable company on the planet could achieve basic things.
