What happened?

Running tuist generate with Xcode 26 on Tahoe fails with the error:

✖ Error

  Couldn't find xcframework at /Users/simonsm2/Code/tuist/.build/artifacts/sparkle/Sparkle/Sparkle.xcframework

tuist clean and tuist install complete successfully

How do we reproduce it?

  1. Upgrade to Tahoe and Xcode 26.
  2. Clone and run tuist install within the tuist/tuist repo.
  3. Run tuist generate
  4. Observe failure

The fix for me locally was to rm -rf .build in the Tuist repo and then rerun tuist install and tuist generate

I’ve had this happen to me before Xcode 26 was released. I think it’s some oddity in the swift package resolve behavior because the path we’re trying to locate is correct. Not sure what we can do here :/

Hey Marek! Maybe I could make it more revealing.

What I found is if you go to Tuist/.build/artifacts/ and will delete any .xcframework there. For example I have an spm package from https://github.com/stasel/WebRTC.git When deleted Tuist/.build/artifacts/webrtc/WebRTC/WebRTC.xcframework I get the folder left but no actual .xcframework there. Then you run tuist graph -f json or tuist generate and you will get an error like Couldn't find xcframework at ...

Which is expected, but then I call tuist install once again and I get no updates to artifacts folder which is not expected. Btw: i also tried to remove Tuist/.build/workspace-state.json didn’t work either. The only solution is to nuke Tuist/.build folder but then it takes ages to get all the stuff back.

Would be awesome to have your thoughts on that. Thanks!

BY the way the ~/Library/Caches/org.swift.swiftpm/artifacts folder contains the webrtc zip aka https___github_com_stasel_WebRTC_releases_download_114_0_0_WebRTC_M114_xcframework_zip file

tuist install invokes swift package resolve under the hood. I believe this specifically is something to be fixed in SwiftPM and not in Tuist.

Workaround that works for me

  1. rm -rf Tuist/.build/workspace-state.json Tuist/.build/artifacts
  2. tuist install
