Swift package manager checksum of binary target does not match

Question

I have a binary .xcframework swift package that lives on GitHub. Occasionally after users update the package to a new version Xcode starts spitting out this error when resolving the package graph.

checksum of downloaded artifact of binary target [...] does not match checksum specified by the manifest [...]

Why is this occurring? Is there something that's incorrectly configured in the package?

Answer 1

Clearing SPMs package cache is the only way I know how to mitigate this issue. The package caches lives at:

~/Library/Caches/org.swift.swiftpm/repositories

I usually opt to nuke this whole folder but you can target the specific package instead.

This however is only a temporary solution.
