What happened?

Assigning bundle as dependency to AppClip target throws error.

Target `AppClipTarget` has platforms 'iOS' and product 'appClip' and depends on target `AppClipBundle` of type 'bundle' and platforms 'iOS' which is an invalid or not yet supported combination.

How do we reproduce it?

Create a project with two targets, one of type appClip, another of type bundle
Add the bundle target as a dependency of the app clip target
Run tuist generate

Hi @WalterWong-Wise! I’m Dosu and I’m helping the Tuist team.

You’re right — .bundle is not currently listed as a valid dependency for appClip targets in the validLinks dictionary in GraphLinter.swift. The current valid dependencies for iOS app clips are limited to .staticLibrary, .dynamicLibrary, .framework, .staticFramework, .appExtension, and .macro [1].

This appears to be an oversight, since bundles are valid dependencies for regular iOS apps and even app extensions [2]. Xcode itself allows app clips to embed bundle resources, so this should be a valid combination.

The fix would be adding LintableTarget(platform: .iOS, product: .bundle) to the appClip entry at line 545-552.

For debugging and potentially contributing a fix, you could try installing this skill following the steps in this repo and use a coding agent like Claude, Codex, or Amp to work through the issue and open a PR.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

Docs are dead. Just use Dosu.

@dosu I have created a PR to add this capability. Requires review
