After Last Xcode Update (14.3 14E222b) I am no longer able to archive my app

A few days ago, I updated to a new XCode version. I am trying to upload a new version of my dictionary app. Despite the app continues to work on iPhone and iPad emulator and on my MacBook air without any problems, archiving fails, with errors like:

I don't know if the problem arises from something I did but despite I did everything I could find online (like reinstalling cocoapods, uninstalling them, defining the google modules expilitly, etc.) I am failing with flying colors. Since I cannot archive the app I cannot upload it to the store. What should I do?

TIA

P.S. After the first version of the app (which I successfully archived and published) I changed its app/module name from TDSozluk to Cevirdic.biz. However this caused no complications till the latest XCode update and I WAS able to archive and upload many (about 5) updates of the newly named app (ie cevirdic.biz.

  • It works when copy "arc" folder to "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/arc/"

There is an issue with Cocoapods now, because Xcode 14.3 is now using a relative path in its symlink for frameworks.

Either wait for release of Cocoapods version 1.12.1 or make this simple change in your Pods-APPNAME-frameworks.sh file:

Replace:

  if [ -L "${source}" ]; then
    echo "Symlinked..."
    source="$(readlink "${source}")"
  fi

with:

  if [ -L "${source}" ]; then
    echo "Symlinked..."
    source="$(readlink -f "${source}")"
  fi

Note that -f was added.

  • Since I am a noob on MacOs platform would you please elaborate where/how to find that shell script file too? Despite I find myself quite savvy with linux platforms, I cannot come to grips with MacOs. Thank you!....

  • Never mind I have found it. It is in the project folder. Just search/find files starting with "Pod-" and you will find it. However since I am senior(ish) citizen, I have difficulty using this tiny screened MacBook Air. If I can afford a new one I will buy a giant Mac. Now I will try to test your solution.

Hi TIA,

I had the same issue. After messing around with it for a day, I just downgraded back to XCode 14.2. I was able to archive and upload to the App Store as usual. In addition to deleting XCode 14.3, I deleted the contents in the Derived Data folder. Not sure if it was necessary, but you may want to do that as a precaution.

Here is where you can download older versions of XCode: https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=Xcode

I just now started having the exact same issue. The build runs fine on a physical device and simulator, but I cannot archive it to send to TestFlight.

Same here, for all production builds actually. The breaking change in a minor release does not seem to be planned.

Now I am encountering another problem: I can now archive the app but when I try to validate and/or distribute app, the Archives dialog box says it cannot find my App Store Connect Credentials. Anybody else experience this? I even opened a bug report for this but so far no response/action yet.
