This usually indicates that project itself failed to compile. Please check the xcodebuild log for more details: /var/folders/05/cy4ywfcd4l99__z394q_cskw0000gn/T/carthage-xcodebuild.0A2id9.log

Actual outcome
Build fail.

Expected outcome
Build success.

In the meantime I just updated the workaround script for Xcode 14.3 like this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash 

# carthage.sh
# Usage example: ./carthage.sh build --platform iOS

set -euo pipefail

xcconfig=$(mktemp /tmp/static.xcconfig.XXXXXX)
trap 'rm -f "$xcconfig"' INT TERM HUP EXIT

# For Xcode 14 make sure EXCLUDED_ARCHS is set to arm architectures otherwise
# the build will fail on lipo due to duplicate architectures.

CURRENT_XCODE_VERSION=$(xcodebuild -version | grep "Build version" | cut -d' ' -f3)
echo "EXCLUDED_ARCHS__EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_SUFFIX_simulator__NATIVE_ARCH_64_BIT_x86_64__XCODE_1400__BUILD_$CURRENT_XCODE_VERSION = arm64 arm64e armv7 armv7s armv6 armv8" >> $xcconfig

echo 'EXCLUDED_ARCHS__EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_SUFFIX_simulator__NATIVE_ARCH_64_BIT_x86_64__XCODE_1400 = $(EXCLUDED_ARCHS__EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_SUFFIX_simulator__NATIVE_ARCH_64_BIT_x86_64__XCODE_1400__BUILD_$(XCODE_PRODUCT_BUILD_VERSION))' >> $xcconfig
echo 'EXCLUDED_ARCHS = $(inherited) $(EXCLUDED_ARCHS__EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_SUFFIX_$(EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_SUFFIX)__NATIVE_ARCH_64_BIT_$(NATIVE_ARCH_64_BIT)__XCODE_$(XCODE_VERSION_MAJOR))' >> $xcconfig

## optional
echo 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 13.0' >> $xcconfig
echo "ENABLE_BITCODE=NO" >> $xcconfig

export XCODE_XCCONFIG_FILE="$xcconfig"
carthage "$@"

In my case I added these lines (because I got errors about bitcode and min target iOS):

echo 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 13.0' >> $xcconfig
echo "ENABLE_BITCODE=NO" >> $xcconfig

then run it with (--verbose is optional but useful to detect compilation errors and then add extra config to the workaround script):

sh carthage.sh update --platform iOS --use-xcframeworks --no-use-binaries --use-ssh --verbose

workaround script above not working either

Found a solution.

You can check whether this applies to you by opening the library that Carthage fails to compile with Xcode and trying to build it from there. If Xcode gives you an error like "File not found: /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/arc/libarclite_iphonesimulator.a" you can follow the steps below to fix the issue.

By trying to compile each library directly with Xcode I found the linker was expecting to find some files in the Xcode toolchain at /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/arc. Apparently Apple has removed the arc library altogether in Xcode 14.3.

Searching online I found this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75574268/missing-file-libarclite-iphoneos-a-xcode-14-3
It's about Pods so for me was sufficient to do the following:

1. Create the missing folder
   cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/
sudo mkdir arc

2. Download the missing files and make them executable
   cd arc
sudo git clone https://github.com/kamyarelyasi/Libarclite-Files.git .
sudo chmod +x *

That's it, everything works, deployment on simulator, on device, archiving.

1. Create the missing folder

cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/
sudo mkdir arc

2. Download the missing files and make them executable

cd arc
sudo git clone https://github.com/kamyarelyasi/Libarclite-Files.git .
sudo chmod +x *

This worked for me, thanks.

For a new iOS programmer, it is a disaster compared to android, because it's development environment like shit

Adding files to Xcode.app every time Xcode is upgraded is troublesome.
Could you make it possible to set IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET like CocoaPods?

I used solution based on #3333 (comment) for solving same issue:

ld: file not found: /Applications/Xcode.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 iOS deployment target 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is set to 8.0, but the range of supported deployment target versions is 11.0 to 16.4.99. (in target 'DeviceKit' from project 'Pods')
** ARCHIVE FAILED **

Overriding works well for xcode 14.3.1 (requires 11.0):

#!/usr/bin/env bash 

# carthage.sh
# Usage example: ./carthage.sh build --platform iOS

set -euo pipefail

xcconfig=$(mktemp /tmp/static.xcconfig.XXXXXX)
trap 'rm -f "$xcconfig"' INT TERM HUP EXIT

## optional
echo 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 11.0' >> $xcconfig
echo "ENABLE_BITCODE=NO" >> $xcconfig

export XCODE_XCCONFIG_FILE="$xcconfig"
carthage "$@"

the solution is to move to SPM as soon as possible for everything you use.
