This still appears to be an issue in Version 12.2 (12B45b). Works on a device, fails for the simulator. With a simple new iOS App project I was able to use the Cocoapods and run on the simulator, but my "real" project fails to compile with this error. For anyone who comes across this post in future, using the "Excluded Architectures" Target Build Setting workaround, as detailed here, - https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/658129 fixed my issue.
