My app builds fine with Xcode 14, 13 and 12, but when attempting to build it with Xcode 15 there's an "Cycle inside MyApp; building could produce unreliable results." error.

The output below isn't giving me any clues that I can see about what the cause of the cycle is nor how to fix it, any ideas?

 Cycle inside MyApp; building could produce unreliable results.
