I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue when distributing their iOS App for Ad Hoc or Development deployment with Xcode 13.3 RC.

Xcode generates the following error 'ipatool failed with an exception' with references to 'libswift_Concurrency'.

It only seems to happen when the following is true:

  1. The App utilises Swift Concurrency
  2. The Deployment Target is set to 14.0

Disabling rebuilding with Bitcode seems to work around the issue however this is less than ideal.

Feel free to reference my feedback FB9951218 where I've attached a minimal project that reproduces the issue.

Exactly same issue here. Not only does it affect Ad Hoc distribution, but for normal App Store distribution, it also receives errors.

"ITMS-90562: Invalid Bundle - One or more dynamic libraries that are referenced by your app are not present in dylib search path." (this is incorrect error message).

Unchecking "Include Bitcode for iOS content" can workaround the problem, but this cannot be applied to apps with Apple Watch applications.

Detailed error log:

Yes I am also seeing this now with the 13.3 release.

We also cannot disable BitCode due to a WatchOS app

Facing bitcode & app thinning issues with Xcode 13.3 release. Even 13.2.1 has the issue with Bitcode. This impact is apparent since 13.3 released.

This issue is also blocking the Xcode Cloud workflow.

The error log is:

Export archive for ad-hoc distribution
Command exited with non-zero exit-code: 70
 
Export archive for development distribution

The same issue is observed with an app with deployment target 12.4 and without swift concurrency.

Looks Xcode 13.3.1 fixed the issue, I tested it on Xcode Cloud and both the build and deployment actions worked

Anyone else still experiencing this with Xcode 13.3.1? No difference, same error as before. Xcode 13.2 has another problem for us, so were still releasing with 13.1. FB9998962
