Hi all,

I've inherited a legacy project I've been working to clean up and have run into a new issue trying to build with XCode 15. The project builds to simulator using rosetta but any attempt to build to devicefails. It built fine with XCode 14 so I'm assuming something changed in 15 but I have no idea where to look.

It seems to build all of the subprojects successfully and then it gets to Build Target AppName, completes several steps, and errors on 'Link <ProjectName (arm64)' with the errors:

ld: warning: ignoring duplicate libraries: '-lc++', '-lsqlite3', '-lz'
ld: GOT load reloc does not point to a LDR instruction in _aom_highbd_sad64x16_avg_c

If anybody could suggest even a starting point for unpacking this I'd be deeply grateful!

This isn’t the same issue, but see my response here. In short:

There’s a new linker implementation.
You can temporarily switch back to the old one.
If you need a long-term fix, make sure to file a bug.
If you do file a bug, please post your bug number, just for the record.

In your specific case, I’m curious what tool built this _aom_highbd_sad64x16_avg_c code?

@eskimo Thank you, that addressed it (for now)! I had read through the xcode release notes but I must have tabbed past the linking section. The code looks like it was omitted by libaom.xcframework which is a media codec of some kind that I'll have to dog into.

@silexKhan See eskimo's comment above; it worked for me.
