Dynamic Links Not Working After App Installation
Hi everyone, I’m encountering an issue with Firebase Dynamic Links in my app that I’m hoping someone can help me with. Everything was working perfectly before, but recently, I’ve run into a problem. Here’s the scenario: If the app is not installed and a Firebase Dynamic Link is clicked, the user is correctly redirected to the app store to install the app. Once the app is installed and opened for the first time, the dynamic link doesn't work. The app doesn't open to the correct content or link that was clicked. I’ve tried the following troubleshooting steps with no success: Verified that the app is configured properly in Firebase and that the Dynamic Links settings are correct. Checked the app's deep linking settings and ensured everything matches with the Firebase setup. Confirmed that the Firebase SDK is up-to-date. Attempted to clear app cache and reinstall. Tested the links in both debug and production modes. Despite trying all these steps, the issue persists. Has anyone else faced this issue before or have any suggestions for how to fix it? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Can Xcode still link with libcurl.{#}.tbd?
I created a new iOS project (storyboard if it matters) and added a bunch of C files to it. Some portion of the C files depend on libcurl. I would like to be able to build for both simulator and device if possible. Google claims that Xcode can provide the dependency as part of the inbuilt libraries however I do not see libcurl.4.tbd (or any version) as an option to choose. Is this feature no longer available or is there something I am missing here? For context here is a screen shot of my build error situation

Unstable `archive` for `Debug` configuration (ld: file cannot be open()ed, errno=2)
We have a relatively big iOS-only project with around 80 build targets from swift packages (local features and external project dependencies) and Xcode 15.4 (originally, migrated to 16.0). Project compiles and runs great, but xcodebuild archive will fail 4 out of 5 tries with this: ld: file cannot be open()ed, errno=2 path=/opt/builds/fLLyxmhG/0/myapp/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/myapp (Development Flow)/BuildProductsPath/Debug-iphonesimulator/Account.o in '/opt/builds/fLLyxmhG/0/myapp/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/myapp (Development Flow)/BuildProductsPath/Debug-iphonesimulator/Account.o' Where Account.o is an end product of one of our feature packages linking to an .app itself. This error is not tied to this concrete package/product (which should be compiling almost last relative to build graph) and could appear mid-build in between our service layer packages. It seems (and is approved by Xcode timeline for .app archive log) that module dependency is compiled later than module itself and linker just cant find its dependency object files. The scheme is: Module A (dependency itself) Module B (needs module A) And with build order expected (???) to be A (first) -> B we're getting the B -> A. Error appears only when archiving for Debug configuration, archiving the same end-target with Release configuration results in stable passes 10 out of 10 tries. Setting identical parameters in Build Settings tab for both configurations of a target is not giving any effect. Our current fix is choosing Manual order in scheme Build order setting. Everything works as expected, but i guess it's not optimal 🤧 Sadly can't provide test project, but anything else — welcome.

dyld assertation failure during linking w/ custom codegen
I am working on adding Objective-C ABI support to DLang and currently I'm getting the following error when linking with ld. Assertion failed: (fixups().size() == 1), function classTarget I'm curious as to why I am getting this error, looking at the objective-c runtime source, i have not applied any of the fixup flags to any protocol definitions. From my understanding, the source of the linker is not available so it's a bit on the difficult side to determine which part is wrong. The source of my pull-request is available here: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/pull/4777

iOS18 crash due to "main_executable_path_missing" and "dyld"
Our app experience the strange crash,causing the app to not launch.This crash suddenly began to happen on October 25.

When application merges libswift_concurrency.dylib is duplicated in app binary
Environment: Xcode 16.1 Swift version: 6.0.2 Inside of an Xcode project, if I declare a framework and an application. The framework is mergeable and the application merges the framework by configuring MERGE_BINARY_TYPE to Manual (or automatic it's independent). If SWIFT_VERSION is set to 6.0.X and deployment target is set to iOS 15< the build is going to fail because of this error Duplicate linked dylib '@rpath/libswift_Concurrency.dylib' in '/Users/**/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/GSPackage-dvnngsrgctfovgfbvwdlsscfycyq/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/DummyApp.app/DummyApp.debug.dylib' If I'm checking the generated artifact and inspect all of it's @rpath with otool it's giving me the following: otool -L /Users/****/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Dummy-gbccsjwxeajftsafghxzaqksgfim/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/Dummy.app/Dummy.debug.dylib | grep @rpath @rpath/Dummy.debug.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0) @rpath/libswift_Concurrency.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 0.0.0, weak) @rpath/libswift_Concurrency.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 0.0.0, weak) A radar is already opened with the ID: FB15693702

Journaling Suggestions is not available on iOS Simulator
Hey, when I try to run my project on an iOS Simulator, I get the following message: JournalingSuggestions is not available when building for iOS Simulator. and Linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) Steps to reproduce this behavior: Create a new Xcode project Add the Journaling Suggestions Capability Add the Journaling Suggestions Framework Under "Target > Build Phases > Link Binary with Libraries", select “optional“ for JournalingSuggestions.framework Under "Target > Build Settings > Other Linker Flags > Debug" select „Plus“ and add „iOS or iOS Simulator“ and paste this -Xlinker -weak_framework -Xlinker JournalingSuggestions into the editable field. Do the same for "Target > Build Settings > Other Linker Flags > Release" This tread is about the same problem, but is already checked as answered. That's why I'm creating this new tread. The last two bullet points are results from advice from the other thread. MacBook Air, M1, 2020, macOS: 14.6.1, Xcode: 16.0 Thanks for your help!

xcodebuild linking error fille cannot be open()ed, errno=2
I very recently migrated our project on Swift 6. After fixing every issues, mostly due to Swift Concurrency, I’m getting the following error when compiling with Xcode 16.0, which doesn’t make any sense to me : Multiple errors: file cannot be open()ed, errno=2 path=/Users/.../Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-euxwyncffackymerzuntbjccezyq/Build/Intermediates.noindex/MyApp.build/Debug-iphoneos/MyApp.build/Objects-normal/arm64/Router.o in '/Users/.../Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-euxwyncffackymerzuntbjccezyq/Build/Intermediates.noindex/MyApp.build/Debug-iphoneos/MyApp.build/Objects-normal/arm64/Router.o'; file cannot be open()ed, errno=2 path=/Users/.../Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-euxwyncffackymerzuntbjccezyq/Build/Intermediates.noindex/MyApp.build/Debug-iphoneos/MyApp.build/Objects-normal/arm64/AccountRouter.o in '/Users/.../Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-euxwyncffackymerzuntbjccezyq/Build/Intermediates.noindex/MyApp.build/Debug-iphoneos/MyApp.build/Objects-normal/arm64/AccountRouter.o'; file cannot be open()ed, errno=2 path=/Users/.../Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-euxwyncffackymerzuntbjccezyq/Build/Intermediates.noindex/MyApp.build/Debug-iphoneos/MyApp.build/Objects-normal/arm64/AlertRouter.o in '/Users/.../Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-euxwyncffackymerzuntbjccezyq/Build/Intermediates.noindex/MyApp.build/Debug-iphoneos/MyApp.build/Objects-normal/arm64/AlertRouter.o'; file cannot be open()ed, errno=2 path=/Users/.../Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-euxwyncffackymerzuntbjccezyq/Build/Intermediates.noindex/MyApp.build/Debug-iphoneos/MyApp.build/Objects-normal/arm64/AlarmRouter.o in '/Users/.../Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-euxwyncffackymerzuntbjccezyq/Build/Intermediates.noindex/MyApp.build/Debug-iphoneos/MyApp.build/Objects-normal/arm64/AlarmRouter.o' (The '…’ is just me obfuscating the real name) I’ve checked the paths. The file are here and I can open them. I tried cleaning the project, removing every derived data. I removed every dependencies (cocoapods &amp; SPM). I’m using Tuist, so I fully cleaned the project and recreated it from scratch. Then I thought it might be an issue with my Xcode installation, so I tried running the project on another machine, I still get the same error every time. Anyone has a clue on what’s happening?

Max OS X App Bundle Framework folder
Hi, the documentation says that an application bundle for Mac OS X can have a Frameworks folder within Contents. Using a framework for console applications (no bundle) and GUI applications (bundle), I cannot load the console applications anymore on Ventura. Prior to Ventora I have tested and ran both on Mojave or earlier - I am not sure. To fix the issue, I have moved the frameworks within the application bundle to match the rpath for /Users/lothar/Library/Frameworks when I place the console into /Users/lothar/bin, the same rpath for application bundles works for those within the bin folder. Can I publish an application bundle with that modified layout or do I have to expect getting problems and do rather a Symlink pointing from /Users/lothar/Frameworks to /Users/lothar/Library/Frameworks? Thanks, Lothar

Application doesn't start: Namespace DYLD, Code 1 Library missing
I have a multi-platform application made with Delphi which uses FTDI D2XX drivers. All is well in other platforms but i have this issue in MacOS when i try to start the application: Termination Reason: Namespace DYLD, Code 1 Library missing Library not loaded: libftd2xx.dylib Referenced from: <CD2148C0-F76F-35D5-8E65-2BE51F201302> /Users/USER/*/USB_Editor.app/Contents/MacOS/USB_Editor Reason: tried: 'libftd2xx.dylib' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OSlibftd2xx.dylib' (no such file), 'libftd2xx.dylib' (no such file), '//libftd2xx.dylib' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS//libftd2xx.dylib' (no such file), '//libftd2xx.dylib' (no such file) (terminated at launch; ignore backtrace) If i try to run the executable i get a similar error which includes the users/user folder in the paths specified above. So if i copy libftd2xx.dylib to users/user the app can start from the executable and the USB library works well. The library is bundled in Contents/Framework as this seems to be the best (or only) accepted practice. Btw the app only starts during deployment if the library is found in Contents/MacOS. Library version is the most recent from FTDI site for the ARM architecture and followed their instructions to install. If i try the otool command on the library i get this: otool -L libftd2xx.dylib libftd2xx.dylib: libftd2xx.dylib (compatibility version 1.1.0, current version 1.4.30) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1336.61.1) /usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 228.0.0) /System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Versions/A/IOKit (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 275.0.0) /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation (compatibility version 150.0.0, current version 2202.0.0) I'm a Mac user since last week so my knowledge of the system is not so good yet (:

Xcode not copying frameworks Swift package with binary target if only included from app extension
I have a Swift Package that includes XCFrameworks which are exported as binary targets. If I include any of the product in Frameworks and Libraries section of a notification service extension target, build succeeds while the extension crashes with dynamic linker error: Library not loaded: @rpath/MoEngageRichNotification.framework/MoEngageRichNotification My workaround is to include the same product in app target's Frameworks and Libraries section and add @executable_path/../../Frameworks to LD_RUNPATH_SEARCH_PATHS settings for extension target. Is this a known limitation of XCode when using SPM?

Shared cache link error when linking to dylib
Hi, I'm producing a dylib that another developer is trying to link with an ffmpeg plugin, building on Sequoia (this was not an issue prior to upgrading the OS). The error is: ld: Shared cache eligible dylib cannot link to ineligible dylib '@rpath/libme.dylib'. Remove link to ineligible dylib, fix its eligibility, or opt out of the shared cache using the build setting 'LD_SHARED_CACHE_ELIGIBLE=NO' (or linker flag '-not_for_dyld_shared_cache') clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) So, simple question - how do I "fix my dylib's eligibility"? I can't seem to find much info about this online. Thanks, Jeff
