I am testing an existing iOS app with Xcode 27 beta 3. The build succeeds, but I am seeing a new linker warning from Swift Package product targets.
ld: warning: address=0xF496F points before section(28) start and the target atom is ambiguous
Environment:
- Xcode 27.0 beta 3
- Build version: 27A5218g
- Platform: iOS Simulator
- Configuration: Debug
- Project type: iOS app with Swift Package dependencies, also embedding a watchOS app
Build command:
DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer \
xcodebuild -project MyWeight/MyWeight.xcodeproj \
-scheme MyWeight \
-configuration Debug \
-destination "generic/platform=iOS Simulator" \
build
The build succeeds:
** BUILD SUCCEEDED **
Warnings:
MyWeight/MyWeightKit/Package.swift: MyWeightKit-watchOS-product: ld: warning: address=0xF493F points before section(28) start and the target atom is ambiguous
MyWeight/MyWeightKit/Package.swift: MyWeightKit-iOS-product: ld: warning: address=0xF496F points before section(28) start and the target atom is ambiguous
Both warnings appear during the link step for Swift Package product framework targets.
Is this a known issue in Xcode 27 beta 3? Does it indicate a real issue in the produced simulator binary, or is it likely a linker/debug-info diagnostic?
You should definitely file a bug about this so that the linker team can investigate. If you’re able to include a test project that illustrates the issue, that’d be fab. If not, please grab a linker debug snapshot, as explained here, and include that.
Please post your bug number, just for the record.
Share and Enjoy
