Archiving swift package that supports visionOS requires x86_64 architecture

Using Swift

Hello,

I have a swift package that supports visionOS and one of its targets is a xcframework that also support visionOS and when I try to archive that swift package (using xcodebuild archive) I get this error:

note: '<xcframework path>' is missing architecture(s) required by this target (x86_64), but may still be link-compatible. (in target '[library name]' from project '<swift package name>')

But starting in Xcode 15.2 (I have Xcode 15.4 installed), you cannot develop for visionOS on Intel machines. So why does it require that the xcframework needs x86_64 support for the visionOS simulator?

Any help would be great. Thanks!

The Apple Silicon requirement is fake and you can disable it:

defaults write http://com.apple.dt.Xcode AllowUnsupportedVisionOSHost -bool YES
defaults write http://com.apple.CoreSimulator AllowUnsupportedVisionOSHost -bool YES
xcodebuild -downloadPlatform visionOS

Xcode Cloud sets this as it's running on Xeons but needs to support visionOS.

Wow interesting, thank you. So if Apple is advertising that you are required to have Apple silicon to develop for visionOS then I guess we shouldn't add support for x86 in our framework that supports the visionOS simulator. Or we add support for x86 for the same reason you listed.
