Xcode 15.3b3: app installation failed due to missing Info.plist

[doroshenko]

Description

Installing an app on a simulator or a device using the latest Xcode beta fails due a missing Info.plist with Firebase version 10.21.0. The problem is solved when downgrading to 10.19.0. I assume it's related to the removal of this file mentioned in the release notes here: https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/ios#version_10200_-_january_16_2023

The framework is included through SPM. I've tried clearing project and SPM caches, and resetting the simulator, but the issue persists.

If using Swift Package Manager, the project's Package.resolved

Expand Package.resolved snippet

Replace this line with the contents of your Package.resolved.

If using CocoaPods, the project's Podfile.lock

Expand Podfile.lock snippet

Replace this line with the contents of your Podfile.lock!

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

@doroshenko Thanks for the report.

Did you also clear the project's DerivedData? Does it make a difference to use an earlier version of Xcode?

[ncooke3]

In addition to Paul's above recommendations, I recommend cleaning the SwiftPM cache at ~/Library/Caches/org.swift.swiftpm/repositories

edit: I re-read the original post and see that you've tried clearing SPM caches.

[doroshenko]

I've done another series of tests, making sure to clear SPM caches and DerivedData folders between every run.

The issue is not present in Xcode 15.1 (stable). The app builds and runs fine with the framework version 10.21.0
The issue is present in Xcode 15.3 beta 2 and beta 3. The app builds fine, but I get an error mentioning Info.plist when attempting to install and run it on a device. Same framework version 10.21.0

Thanks for sharing the investigation @doroshenko.

We're working on restoring the Info.plist files for the next release.
