TestFlight installed app crash with Swift Package Manager dependencies

We have migrated some of our CocoaPod dependencies to be build and linked with Swift Package Manager in Xcode 11. However, whenever we submit application to AppStore Connect and distribute with TestFlight, the app crashes the moment it tries to use API from one of the SPM linked dependencies. Other builds (adhoc and development) are working fine. Some of the SPM dependencies are also linked 2 app extensions.

Did anyone encounter this issue, would you have any idea what is the problem and/or how to fix it?

Attaching stack trace for the crash. This one happens in

ObjectMapper

dependency.

Have the same issue with xCode 11.2.1. I can build and run from xCode to a device using debug and release profile, but when the app is distributed via Test Flight to the same device it crashes. When I go back to using CocoaPods, everything works.

I had a look through the Xcode 11.3 Beta Release Notes and didn’t see anything that resembles this issue. What entry are you referring to specifically?

If an iOS, tvOS, or watchOS app uses a Swift Package that builds a dynamic library, you can’t submit it to the App Store. (55564324) (FB7303066)

Workaround: Modify the Package manifest to build a static library.

It is in Swift Packages - Known Issues

So, did switching to a static library help?

Not sure if this helps, but I've linked my SPM dependencies statically to a dynamic framework, which is then shared across the app and extensions. For example, I link RxSwift statically with SPM to MyDynLib, then `import RxSwift` normally in the iOS target.

Do note that MyDynLib is just a dynamic framework target within my Xcode workspace.
