Xcode 14.3 Beta 2 disables x86 builds for older Xcode versions?


Since I installed Xcode 14.3 Beta 2 I cannot build x86 simulator binaries even with Xcode 14.2. Uninstalling Xcode 14.3 Beta 2 and reinstalling Xcode 14.2 didn't fix it either. All simulator builds are now arm64 and fail to link to third party libraries only available for x86 simulator.

Can anyone confirm? Is there a fix?

Looks like you discovered this:

"Deprecations in Xcode 14.3 Beta Xcode isn’t supported under Rosetta. See Developer Technote “Resolving architecture build errors on Apple silicon“ for more information. (92772361)" [ https://developer.apple.com/documentation/technotes/tn3117-r... ]

From: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-note...

Can't you still build a Universe app build? Haven't had 14.3 but perhaps it should be able to cross compile from M1 XCode, and not need Rosetta?

I'm on Xcode 14.2 and my simulator builds are still x86_64. I'm not running anything under Rosetta, nothing changed.
