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

This is likely related to #14134 and #13603. Using the legacy preview may be a workaround.

We've filed a feedback with Apple and will see if we can escalate.

The Xcode 16.2 release notes show multiple preview issue fixed. Is this one?

I tried it - this is still an issue with Xcode 16.2.

[vapidinfinity]

Still happens, development is slowed as a result. bump

@vapidinfinity, which Xcode version and macOS version are you using?

[vapidinfinity]

Xcode Version 16.2 (16C5032a), macOS Sequoia 15.2 (24C101)

[sukhrobkhakimov]

@girishw @vapidinfinity I recommend using Xcode 15.2 until it is fixed.

This issue persists with Xcode 16.2 and Firebase 11.7. It only occurs when I include the Firestore dependency in my Package.swift file:
.product(name: “FirebaseFirestore”, package: “firebase-ios-sdk”)

[zkhCreator]

Same on Xcode Version Version 16.2 (16C5032a), macOS 15.0 (24A335)
