Xcode 14.3 distribution fails after successful archive

Question

What's happened to Xcode 14.3 on M1 Macs? Distributing Enterprise and Ad Hoc apps is broken!

I can successfully archive an app, as usual, but when I come to distribute it I see an unhelpful error message:

"The operation couldn’t be completed. (AppThinning.StubError error 1.)"

Digging around in the logs reveals this in IDEDistribution.verbose.log:

It looks like at least one of the Ruby Gems (date_core.bundle) is missing the 'arm64' architecture, but as we can no longer open Xcode 14.3 under Rosetta, it means this tool is now broken...?

Anyone else seen this issue?
