My project was building fine with Xcode 14.1. After upgrading Xcode to 14.3 (and MacOS to Ventura), the project at first reported that build succeeded. But then when I tried to run the project, it suddenly reported that build failed, with the following error:
ld: file not found: /Applications/Xcode 14.3.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/arc/libarclite_iphoneos.a
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
The build fails while trying to link a cocoa pod library we use called SVProgressHUD. The full link command as found in the build log is as follows:
Ld /Users/username/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Dudleys-awqewehuamgjgrfgdpuqcillyxfo/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/SVProgressHUD/SVProgressHUD.framework/SVProgressHUD normal (in target 'SVProgressHUD' from project 'Pods')

What's strange is that we are successfully building other projects with Xcode 14.3 that use this same library. And I can't find the reason why the linker is trying to link to the file libarclite_iphoeos.a in the first place.
I currently have hazzled with this in my Flutter project.
In my project the FMDB was linking to version 8.0, so I suggest you try to force everything to a certain version.
Add these lines at the end of your Podfile:
post_install do |installer|
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '13.0'
I take no credits for this, it was an stackoverflow page that helped me out. Hopefully it will work for you :)
Here is the fixed of above code version
post_install do |installer|
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '13.0'
