When building a Kotlin Multiplatform project for iOS in Production (product > archive), the build fails during the :composeApp:swiftklibLinksIosArm64 task with a swiftbuild Invalid manifest error.

Environment:

• Xcode: 16.4
• Kotlin: 2.2.20-Beta2

i got same erro,did you resolve it?

yeah actually i was trying to generate bindings for a function which was using 3rd party library (mixpanel) which swiftklib doesn't support this functionality. Then i used cocoapods gradle plugin for generating mixpanel bindings for kotlin & just pure swiftklib for pure swift
