[Bug] .NET 9.0.4 - bitcode_strip fails on GoogleAppMeasurement-8.9.1 on iOS

[appimpact]

Description

After the update to .NET 9.0.4, the project that used to run on iOS is no longer buildable.
MAUI workloads are updated to the latest version (9.0.14/9.0.100)
XCode is updated to the latest version (16.3/16E140).
Jetbrains Rider is updated to the latest version (2024.3.7/243.26053.56).
Everything is up to date with today.
When build is done, several logs are in output indicating the following:

1. bitcode_strip is found successfully:

xcrun -find bitcode_strip

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/bitcode_strip

2. Command for bitcode_strip is called (by build process / we did not request for it to be executed):

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/bitcode_strip /Users/xxxxx/Library/Caches/XamarinBuildDownload/GAppM-8.9.1/GoogleAppMeasurement-8.9.1/Frameworks/GoogleAppMeasurement.xcframework/ios-arm64_armv7/GoogleAppMeasurement.framework/GoogleAppMeasurement -r -o /Users/xxxxx/Library/Caches/XamarinBuildDownload/GAppM-8.9.1/GoogleAppMeasurement-8.9.1/Frameworks/GoogleAppMeasurement.xcframework/ios-arm64_armv7/GoogleAppMeasurement.framework/GoogleAppMeasurement

3. Command crashes with output:

ld: file cannot be open()ed, errno=2 path=strip

4>EXEC: Error : /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/bitcode_strip: internal link edit command failed

Could you get an MSBuild binlog that shows the build failure? Thanks!

@rolfbjarne You can download binlog from the link above.

@rolfbjarne xcrun --find strip returns proper path:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/strip

[rolfbjarne]

The binlog shows a different error:

ld: building for 'iOS-simulator', but linking in object file (/Users/admirtuzovic/Repos/GatherUp/src/Public/GatherUp.Public.Mobile/obj/Release/net9.0-ios/iossimulator-arm64/linker-cache/AppCenter.a[arm64]2) built for 'iOS'
clang++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

which is because you're building for the iossimulator-arm64 RuntimeIdentifier, but AppCenter doesn't support that runtime identifier.

Did you upload a different binlog?

@rolfbjarne My apologies; it seems that the wrong version got uploaded.

This is the one with the strip build error.
