Xcode 14.1 Debug error “does not contain expected binary artifact” error

Question

we are getting this error for a while since xcode has released new versions past few months but still didn't got any solution

we trying to use open3d-ios swift package

Here's Swift package code for binary target of git zips

 .binaryTarget(name: "libOpen3D_3rdparty_liblzf.a", url: "https://github.com/kewlbear/Open3D-iOS/releases/download/0.0.20220804014308/libOpen3D_3rdparty_liblzf.a.xcframework.zip", checksum: "a652bd2ab0c76623bb27268acbd0832326031cb2acc71eda4bc0e36849f64e84"),
        .binaryTarget(name: "libOpen3D_3rdparty_qhull_r.a", url: "https://github.com/kewlbear/Open3D-iOS/releases/download/0.0.20220804014308/libOpen3D_3rdparty_qhull_r.a.xcframework.zip", checksum: "55c0f90841fa15c7aa6e3de24e719936af7ea09bfe314eb3a1e44b97e0b49a76"),

for above code snippet we are getting above error

we even tried unzipping those assets and referencing those locally

.binaryTarget(name: "libOpen3D_3rdparty_liblzf.a", path: "Users/apple/Documents/Open3D-iOS-main/cartifacts/libOpen3D_3rdparty_liblzf.a.xcframework"),
.binaryTarget(name: "libOpen3D_3rdparty_qhull_r.a", path: "artifacts/libOpen3D_3rdparty_qhull_r.a.xcframework"),
.binaryTarget(name: "libOpen3D_3rdparty_qhullcpp.a", path: "artifacts/libOpen3D_3rdparty_qhullcpp.a.xcframework"),
.binaryTarget(name: "libOpen3D_3rdparty_rply.a", path: "artifacts/libOpen3D_3rdparty_rply.a.xcframework"),
.binaryTarget(name: "libOpen3D.a", path: "artifacts/libOpen3D.a.xcframework"),

still we are getting following error

Answer 1

I got the same issue. Downgrading to XCode 13.4 solved my problem. The root cause is that Xcode 14 is not compatible with XCFramework name with ".a". I filed a bug report but got no response yet. For more details please see the Github link below.

Answer 2

I had the same issue. After some time researching I found out that I wasn't referencing the packages right. In my case, I changed to path: "./MyLibrary.xcframework instead of path: "MyLibrary.xcframework .

Before this I only could add packages and build in a lower version of Xcode.

Full example:

let package = Package(
    name: "MyLibrary",
    platforms: [
        .iOS(.v13)
    ],
    products: [
        .library(name: "MyLibrary", targets: ["MyLibrary"])
    ],
    dependencies: [
    ],
    targets: [
        .binaryTarget(name: "MyLibrary", path: "./MyLibrary.xcframework")
    ])
