unable to find module dependency : 'minizip'

minizip isn't the name of a module in the iOS SDK. Is the project yours, a sample code project from Apple, or something else? If this is your project and this module is from a vendor you depend on, you should review the integration instructions provided by the vendor.

Same here with SwiftProtobuf and SwiftSignalRClient which are added via Cocoapods.

It is a xcode project based on UIKit and CocoaPods. It has multiple pods, including RxSwift, project-specific dependencies, XCGLogger, and Zip.

Since you're managing your dependencies with Cocoapods, you should check with the vendors for these libraries and your dependency manager for the proper path to resolution when using their software.

I also had having this issue with CocoaPods dependencies.

I found the issue is with Explicitly Built modules not Xcode 26 specifically. It's just that Xcode 26 has explicitly built modules on by default.

To work around it you can set Explicitly Built Modules to no. But I'm surprised not to find anyone else having issues with this in Xcode 16, nor any mention of explicitly build modules on CocoaPods. I know it's end of life but still.

The real fix is to stop using CocoaPods.
