Got the Same issue - mentioned on #8437 - in my Comment is a Closed Issue mentioned, there is a temporary fix

[ionitron-bot]

This issue needs more information before it can be addressed. In particular, the reporter needs to provide a minimal sample app that demonstrates the issue. If no sample app is provided within 7 days, the issue will be closed.
Please see the Contributing Guide for how to create a Sample App.
Thanks! Ionitron 💙

I had the same issue, my issue was that my IDE opened App.xcodeproj

When I use App.xcworkspace it works fine.

[jcesarmobile]

SPM apps don't have App.xcworkspace, just App.xcodeproj, your's is a common problem in CocoaPods projects, but this issue is about Swift Package Manager.

[Ionitron]

It looks like this issue didn't get the information it needed, so I'll close it for now. If I made a mistake, sorry! I am just a bot.

Have a great day!
