Xcode Archive failure with manual code signing when upgrading Firebase from 8.14

[natemekonnen]

Description

I recently upgraded the Firebase SDK from version 8.14.0 to the 10.24.0 to utilize the real-time remote config feature in my iOS project. After the upgrade, the functionality works as expected during development. However, when attempting to create an IPA file using manual code signing for release builds, I encountered a compilation failure.

Issue Encountered:

During the archive process, the compilation fails with the following error:

CompileSwift normal arm64 (in target 'FirebaseCoreInternal' from project 'Firebase')
    cd /Users/runner/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/SourcePackages/checkouts/firebase-ios-sdk/FirebaseCore/Internal/Sources/HeartbeatLogging/HeartbeatsPayload.swift:20:10: error: no such module 'GoogleUtilities'
  import GoogleUtilities
.
.
.
** ARCHIVE FAILED **


The following build commands failed:
	SwiftCompile normal arm64 Compiling\ Heartbeat.swift,\ HeartbeatController.swift,\ HeartbeatStorage.swift,\ HeartbeatsBundle.swift,\ HeartbeatsPayload.swift ....
        CompileSwift normal arm64 (in target 'FirebaseCoreInternal' from project 'Firebase')
(2 failures)

Command used to run archive:

xcodebuild \ 
  -sdk iphoneos \
  -configuration Release \
  -project ./Sample.xcodeproj \
  -scheme Release clean archive SWIFT_ACTIVE_COMPILATION_CONDITIONS=RELEASE 

Important build settings to highlight

CODE_SIGN_STYLE = Manual;
COPY_PHASE_STRIP = YES;
IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 16.0;
SWIFT_COMPILATION_MODE = wholemodule;
SWIFT_OPTIMIZATION_LEVEL = "-O";
SWIFT_VERSION = 5.0;
VALIDATE_PRODUCT = YES;

Expected Behavior:

Interestingly, the archive succeeds when automatic code signing is enabled for DEBUG builds. I expect the archive process for RELEASE builds to succeed with manual code signing enabled, similar to DEBUG builds.

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

This may be a duplicate of #12409 in which it will be fixed in the next Firebase release. At the time, I wasn't able to reproduce the reports in #12409, are you able to provide a minimal, reproducible example?

[natemekonnen]

Steps to reproduce the bug

on Xcode 15.2

1. New Project -> iOS -> App

2. Add firebase dependency

Add FirebaseRemoteConfig to target

package dependency version state:

3. Run archive command

xcodebuild \
  -sdk iphoneos \
  -configuration Release \
  -project ./ReproduceFirebaseBug.xcodeproj \
  -scheme ReproduceFirebaseBug clean archive SWIFT_ACTIVE_COMPILATION_CONDITIONS=RELEASE

Thanks for the repro steps. I reproduced with Xcode 15.3 and continuing to investigate.

[paulb777]

The build is successful if SWIFT_ACTIVE_COMPILATION_CONDITIONS=RELEASE is removed from the command line. It seems that it causes the SWIFT_PACKAGE to be undefined and the condition here to be compiled wrong. Is the option redundant anyway with the already specified -configuration Release?
