Xcode version: 14.1 beta 3 (14B5033e)

It happens often to me that when I try to run the Xcode previews I see a failure of the type

symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64

The full message looks like:

Check the issue navigator for any compilation errors.

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64

This happens when trying to build the previews for this file

https://github.com/sats-group/SATSCore-iOS/blob/main/DemoApp/DemoApp/Views/Components/BannerImage/BannerImageDemoView.swift

our set up is:

The DemoApp is inside the repo of the library called SATSCore
SATSCore references a private SPM package dependency called SATSType that contains the private font assets

I am not that familiar on how linkers work and why it's failing on Xcode previews.

This happens to me in several version of Xcode 14.

In Xcode 13.4.1 this doesn't happen.

I would like to understand this error, as it's any way to solve this (tried the typical remove derived data + restarting Xcode), so any insights to understand more this kinds of errors would be very helpful.

Thanks

Mmm.. while development I casually added a line, which made importing the SATSCore framework in the file.

That framework was implicitly available already through the @_exported import SATSCore call in the app’s entry point.

It may seem that this issue may be related to implicitly imported libraries

I should add this only fails with Xcode previews, not when running the app in simulator/device.

I use a M1 Max MacBook pro

Hi,

Sorry to hear you are having problems getting previews working. Best next step will be to file a feedback with diagnostics so we can take a look. We will need the diagnostics Xcode Previews generates in order to make sure we understand the error the previews system is encountering.

If you are having issues with macOS, catalyst or on-device iOS previews then download and install the logging profile for your device. Instructions and profiles are available here: https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/profiles-and-logs/?name=swift Attach the sysdiagnose to the bug report as well as the diagnostics using the instructions below.

Then when you get an error in Xcode Previews, an error banner appears in the canvas

Click the "Diagnostics" button in that banner (or if the banner is missing you can use the menu: Editor > Canvas > Diagnostics)
In the sheet that appears, click "Generate Report" in the bottom left of the sheet
Attach (or make from the folder) the resulting zip file to the bug (will be named something like previews-diagnostics-0123.zip)
