Hi team:

I recently update to Xcode 26.4, and I encountered crash when running to < iOS 26.4 both for physical device and Simulator with this log:

dyld[1257]: Symbol not found: _$s9MetricKit10mxSignpost_3dso3log4name10signpostID__ySo03os_H7_type_ta_SVSo03OS_j1_F0Cs12StaticStringV0J0010OSSignpostI0VALSays7CVarArg_pGtF

but iOS 26.4 works well.

Env: Xcode: 26.4 Simulator/Physical Device: < 26.4 macOS: 26.3

Thanks for giving any help.

Consider this:

% swift demangle
_$s9MetricKit10mxSignpost_3dso3log4name10signpostID__ySo03os_H7_type_ta_SVSo03OS_j1_F0Cs12StaticStringV0J0010OSSignpostI0VALSays7CVarArg_pGtF
MetricKit.mxSignpost(_: __C.os_signpost_type_t, dso: Swift.UnsafeRawPointer, log: __C.OS_os_log, name: Swift.StaticString, signpostID: os.OSSignpostID, _: Swift.StaticString, _: [Swift.CVarArg]) -> ()

So, the problematic symbol is mxSignpost(…). According to the documentation, that’s available on iOS 13 and later. However, that’s clearly not the case O-:

I see two possibilities here:

The availability annotation is just wrong.
The symbol is available on older system, but it moved, and the corresponding .tbd file doesn’t record that move.

I suspect that it’s the latter [1] but, either way, it’s a bug in the MetricKit framework interface and you should file it as such.

Please post your bug number, just for the record.

Hi,

App crashes on launch on iOS 26.3.1 after building with Xcode 26.4.

dyld: Symbol not found: MetricKit.mxSignpost

Works fine on iOS 26.4+.

FB: FB22384135

Anyone else seeing this or any workaround?

Thanks.

Thanks for filing that.

I took a look at Xcode 26.5b1 and it still seems to have the problem )-:
