Xcode 13.2 - Internal error : Missing Package Description Module

Same issue here, Xcode 13.2 on Monterey 12.1, Apple Macbook Pro 2017

Same here. My SPM-based projects are currently unusable with Xcode 13.2. Keeping fingers crossed for a quick fix. 🤞 In the meantime, I guess my only option is to revert back to Xcode 13.1. 😞

Same problem! Had to revert back to the prior Xcode version! This is really bad!

Works! Download xCode from https://developer.apple.com/download/release/ Run for install. Product -> Clean Build Folder. File - > Packages -> (Click all submenus). Build.

I have not uninstalled the current version of xCode 13.2 installed from the App Store.

PS: But the new installation ended up in the Downloads folder. Thus, I ended up with two xCode

Thank you to everyone reporting this issue. If you are here because you're seeing this issue, please read the Apple Recommended post, which contains a workaround.

for me the only solution was to go back to Xcode 13.1

My update to 13.2 happened this morning via accepting prompt to update Xcode tools. The day prior my app compiled. Today get missing package error. Clearing package caches didn't work. In the end, the Apple solution below worked. I downloaded 13.2 from the developer site. After decompressing the monster (32GB) I moved the Xcode App from Downloads to Applications selecting the option to REPLACE what was there. On first build I got a different package error but also noticed a warning to update project settings. In for a penny, in for a pound, I went ahead and let Xcode update the project settings. Then I tried again. This time the app built successfully. So in my case it was a combination of a complete replacement of Xcode 13.2 and updating my project settings as recommended by Xcode.

I am in the same mess. and sure it is the over hyped M1

ERRRMMM.. Seriously? QA on Christmas break are they? I have a project I have to deliver by end of week and you throw this at me. WHY? You trying to make me loose my position?

Sort your sh1t out apple Steve would never have allowed this. Its disgusting.

WTF is going on at Apple? This has been an issue for more than 24 hours yet auto-update (which I had turned off, so please stop turning it back on) installed this very obviously and entirely broken version of Xcode just a short two hours ago. APPLE, DELIST THE BROKEN VERSION AND STOP WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME. It doesn't help Apple's terrible servers can't serve downloads at higher than 5 MB/s when I'm on gigabit internet. You'd think the most valuable company on the planet could achieve basic things.

Intel MacBookPro 2017 also affected. Can't compile anything.

It's terrible, waste time to download Xcode again. Fortunately, I didn't remove the pod file from my project. Remove all SPM packages, and reuse cocoapods , clean build folder, restart Xcode. The issue was gone

Same issue with me!

I have a similar issue building an installer plugin which has as Swift package included (don't ask me why). I got different but similar build error messages initially. I installed the additional tools required by Xcode and also updated the command line tools xcode-select --install. After all the updates my latest error is:

Cleaning Installer Plugin...
xcodebuild: error: Could not resolve package dependencies:
  Internal error: missingPackageDescriptionModule
Build failed at "all" action with error:
Fail: ./installer-plugin/build.sh returned code 74
Aborted.

That's my build command:

local symroot="$(xcodebuild -showBuildSettings -project "${XCB_PROJECT}" -scheme "${XCB_SCHEME}" | grep SYMROOT | sed -n 2p | sed -e 's#.*=\(\)#\1#' | sed 's/^ *//g')"

same here!!!!
