Downloaded Xcode 14.3 this morning and it will not build the project. It fails building the CocoaPods project with this error:
It varies which pod causes the failure, but always the first to link.
cd'ing into there confirms that there is no arc dir. The regular Xcode app (Version 14.2 (14C18)) runs just fine.
Any ideas?
Potentially useful information:
If you build a standard iOS app created from New > Project > iOS > App template and then looking at the build transcript, there are no references to libarclite_iphoneos.a. That’s because the app’s deployment target is modern enough that it can rely on ARC being built in to the system. Indeed, that’s always the case with Xcode 14, where it’s minimum supported deployment target is iOS 11 [1].
Presumably your app’s deployment target is not lower than what Xcode supports, so the question becomes: Why is your project trying to link libarclite_iphoneos.a, something it most definitely does not need? I don’t have a ready answer to that but it’s likely to be related to your third-party build system. I recommend that you escalate this via its support channel.

[1] ARC was added to the system so far back that I can’t honestly remember when it happened. However, Wikipedia says iOS 5, and I’ve no reason to disbelieve it.
It's a curious change because the whole /usr/lib/arc directory is gone in Xcode 14.3 beta. I ran into it yesterday when building a macOS project that had min target of 10.9, and got an error that libarclite_macosx.a was missing. (And also warnings that the deployment target 'MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is set to 10.9, but the range of supported deployment target versions is 10.13 to 13.3.99).
For an even more direct answer, from DTS's tools specialist no less, see this thread.
I found the arc folder it's referencing to be completely missing from my Xcode 14.3 install. Since I still had the Xcode 14.2 install on my computer, I navigated to the arc folder in that installation, copied it and pasted it into the Xcode 14.3 location it was missing from.
Do not do this. Once you start modifying your local copy of Xcode you leave the path of what’s supported. See this post for my thoughts on why that’s a bad idea (it’s from a very different context but the same lesson applies).
The correct solution is to work through your build system to determine why it’s trying to use this ancient library. Many folks have already done that successfully and posted their experience on this thread. I recommend that you follow their path, rather than applying an expedient workaround that will cause more problems down the line.

Add a CommentAlso, have tried turning it on and off again.
I encountered the same bug in Xcode 15 Beta 4. To fix it, I had to change the iOS Development Target for the Pods. By default, the previous project settings showed support for older iOS versions like iOS 9 or 8, which caused the issue. I selected iOS 12 as the minimum deployment target, and that resolved the problem.
