Xcode Build fails upon adding new target

[doylemark]

Please provide all the information requested. Issues that do not follow this format are likely to stall.

Description

Upon adding a new target to a fresh react-native app (in my case an iOS 14 Widget). Xcode fails to build the app. With two errors:

1. Undefined symbol: _swift_getOpaqueTypeConformance
2. Undefined symbol: _swift_getTypeByMangledNameInContextInMetadataState

The latter error points to #29246. However the suggested fix did not help.

LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS = (
   "\"$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swift/$(PLATFORM_NAME)\"",
-  "\"$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swift-5.0/$(PLATFORM_NAME)\"",
+  "\"$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swift-5.2/$(PLATFORM_NAME)\"",
   "\"$(inherited)\"",
 );

Bumping the Swift version to 5.2 led to 23 further undefined symbol errors mostly of type FORCE_LOAD.. eg: Undefined symbol: __swift_FORCE_LOAD_$_swiftObjectiveC

I encountered the same problem and eventually fixed it myself.

There are multiple "Library Search Paths" in the settings, you need to change to setting for your widget target in the "TARGETS" categary, If you change the path setting for the "PROJECT", then those errors displayed.

Will test and close if solving, thanks

Resolved, solution is to make the following changes to the WidgetExtension target not project.

LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS = (
   "\"$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swift/$(PLATFORM_NAME)\"",
-  "\"$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swift-5.0/$(PLATFORM_NAME)\"",
+  "\"$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swift-5.2/$(PLATFORM_NAME)\"",
   "\"$(inherited)\"",
 );

I might be missing it, but it doesn't look my widget target has the LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS. I do see two in the settings, but one is for the debug version of the app target, and one is for the release version of the app target. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong when adding the widget to the project.

Resolved, solution is to make the following changes to the WidgetExtension target not project.

LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS = (
   "\"$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swift/$(PLATFORM_NAME)\"",
-  "\"$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swift-5.0/$(PLATFORM_NAME)\"",
+  "\"$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swift-5.2/$(PLATFORM_NAME)\"",
   "\"$(inherited)\"",
 );

yes that works, but just noting that 'targets' don't have a setting of that value, you just gotta do it on the 'Project' level.
